Columbus Water Works consistently meets or exceeds all State and Federal regulations for drinking water safety and water quality protection. CWW successfully stays ahead of regulatory compliance by not only being an innovator in the industry but also by working with regulators to help set policy for the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CWW's solution for combined sewer overflows (CSOs) is a prime example of this type of forward-thinking. The results are also evident in the numerous awards the utility has received for its efficient operations and community involvement.
