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.

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.

Water Education is an important component of our community engagement program. Here you will find information, various tools, videos and resources dedicated to educating you about all things water. We believe that the more informed our Customers are, the more satisfied, confident and happy they are with MCWA.

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.

We stand committed to our primary mission of delivering the cleanest, safest and most affordable drinking water to our customers every day.

Information About Your Drinking Water

The NYSDOH and USEPA recently reviewed the MCWA’s compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule and concluded that in 1998, NYSDOH incorrectly approved the MCWA system’s designation as being optimized for corrosion control. The NYSDOH has now revoked that approval and issued the MCWA a violation for failure to have optimal corrosion control treatment in place. Nothing has changed with regard to water quality or lead levels in the samples we collect.

Monroe County Water Authority hosted a roundtable event on January 10, 2025 to discuss funding barriers with local elected officials. In order to maintain affordable rates while balancing resources to comply with ever-changing federal and state regulations, while also financing capital improvement projects, we must consistently seek funding opportunities.
