Colorado Water Utility Council

The Colorado Water Utility Council (CWUC) was organized in 1988 by folks in the water treatment business that were concerned with the number of proposed laws and regulations drafted each year that could place tremendous constraints on our industry. Many of these individuals were spending long hours trying to inform legislators and congressional representatives of the importance of water related issues. It did not take long for these individuals to learn that a joint effort could cover a lot more territory than they had been doing individually – so was formed the Colorado Water Utility Council.

CWUC is an alliance of drinking water providers from throughout the State of Colorado organized under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain Section of the American Water Works Association. Our membership is concerned with federal and state laws, regulations, and policies that can affect our ability to provide an adequate supply of high quality drinking water to the general public. At the present time, our membership serves treated water to over 80 percent of the population of Colorado located on both the east and west slopes of the Continental Divide.

CWUC is organized around five committees which analyze proposed changes to state and federal laws, distribute their analysis and insight to members, which then call on legislators who represent members of the Council. We encourage all members to contact their legislators and Congressmen whenever possible. Through this sharing of ideas we can help each other and be much more effective in less time.
