MWRA has received a 2010 Massachusetts Public Drinking Water Award from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). The award honors excellence in providing clean drinking water to customers.

At a ceremony held on May 5, MassDEP Commissioner Alicia McDevitt awarded MWRA and 28 other public systems with a certificate of outstanding performance and a Governor’s Citation signed by Governor Deval Patrick.

The winning systems were chosen based on their compliance with state drinking water regulations. The winners had no monitoring enforcements or violations, submitted all required reports on time, adhered to good water management procedures, and have excellent source protection standards.
