As part of our continued efforts to work towards a lead-free future, we have been diligently working to identify any remaining lead or galvanized lines in our distribution system. These results are now publicly available in our Service Line Material Inventory.

We provide the safest and cleanest water to you and your family 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We perform over 70,000 analyses each year to verify that you receive the highest quality water whenever you need it at the highest value.

We maintain over 27,000 fire hydrants across the region we serve, so that when needed, we are ready to provide.

We’re Here To Help

Customer Service

MCWA defines Customer Service not as a job title within a department, but as a primary component of our mission and culture which defines our organization. It is only through our strong internal values that we are able to deliver superior external experiences to our customers at every touch point.

Infrastructure

To reliably provide billions of gallons of clean, safe drinking water, the Monroe County Water Authority maintains a massive infrastructure. We can store more than 130 million gallons of water, which can meet up to three days of usage.

Water Quality

The average adult human body is 50-65% water, so it’s no surprise that water quality can greatly impact our overall health. Year after year MCWA exceeds all drinking water standards set by the EPA and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). We stand committed to our primary mission of delivering the cleanest, safest and most affordable drinking water to our customers every day.
