Rowland Water District Launches New and Improved Website by Rowland Water District May 14, 2025 Member Submitted News ROWLAND HEIGHTS — A redesigned website is now live, offering a faster, simpler way for Rowland Water District (RWD) customers to access water service tools, pay bills, report issues, and stay informed about their local water system. “We wanted the new website to reflect the way people actually use digital tools in their daily lives – on the go, on their phones, and on their own time,” said Brittnie Gildea, Marketing & Social Media Coordinator. “Whether you are a longtime customer or new to the area, the site is designed to make every interaction simpler and more accessible.” The refreshed site is available at www.rwd.org and introduces several customer-focused upgrades, including a user-friendly platform, simple one-click payment options, a chat box for questions and information, and improved accessibility with ADA compliance and multi-language support. These tools were developed to ensure all customers regardless of ability or language can easily engage with RWD’s services. Enhanced navigation and improved search functions help users quickly find what they need, from water education programs and water rates to board meeting agendas and service alerts. New pages also feature community-focused content and resources which support learning, engagement, and outreach. At the same time, customers will continue to find all the essential information they rely on, including annual water quality reports, long-term strategic plans, and district-wide education efforts. These foundational resources remain a key part of the website and central to its purpose. “Our goal was to create a more intuitive, user-friendly experience for our customers,” said Tom Coleman, RWD General Manager. “This new site is consistent with one of our core values, to be as welcoming as possible, and reflects our ongoing commitment to service, transparency, and making things easier for the communities we serve.” Customers are encouraged to explore the new site and share feedback as RWD continues to enhance its digital services.
