About CVCWA

The Central Valley Clean Water Association is a non-profit association of public agencies located within the Central Valley region that provide wastewater collection, treatment, and water recycling services to residents and businesses.

Who We Are

CVCWA is currently comprised of over 50 public wastewater collection and treatment member agencies, representing over 7 million people in the Central Valley.

Our Mission

CVCWA’s mission is to effectively represent the interests of wastewater agencies in the Central Valley in regulatory matters and to support the exchange of information so members can best meet their business challenges.

Our Work Groups

The majority of the activities are done through work groups made up from the CVCWA general membership.

Participation on the work groups is voluntary. At meetings, CVCWA members discuss issues of interest, such as new regulations and recent scientific findings. Often, the work group will work on projects and/or have presentation on topics of interest at the meetings.

Our Advocacy

CVCWA works with both the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board and the State Water Board to effect reasonable local and state regulations impacting wastewater treatment plants and wastewater and storm drain collections systems in the Central Valley.
