How we advocate for our members

Advocacy raises awareness among legislators, regulators, and the public about issues of concern to MCWRS and its members. Comment letters, OpEd pieces, and testimony at hearings are just a few of the ways MCWRS advocates for modifications to policies and regulations that make them more affordable and sustainable for communities. Members get the added benefit of having MCWRS submit comments on regulations affecting their facilities.

Recently, MCWRS has been involved with advocacy for issues related to:

• PFAS

• Biosolids Disposal

• Combined Sewer Overflows

• Workforce Challenges

• Funding Resources and Opportunities
