Mission: ACWA provides comprehensive leadership, advocacy and education to serve California public water agencies’ infrastructure and other water management needs to ensure high quality, sustainable and reliable water supplies in an environmentally, socially and fiscally responsible manner.
ACWA is the largest statewide coalition of public water agencies in the country. Our approximately 470 public agency members collectively are responsible for 90% of the water delivered to cities, farms and businesses in California. ACWA envisions a California that values and invests in water as an essential and plentiful resource that is managed efficiently and sustainably from headwaters to the ocean to meet all of California’s present and future needs.
ACWA serves the water industry and the public by promoting local agencies as the most efficient means of providing water service; sharing reliable scientific and technical information; tracking and shaping state and federal water policy; advocating for sound legislation and regulation; and facilitating cooperation and consensus among all interest groups.
