Access To Clean Water Services Will Continue Uninterrupted, Says NACWA

Statement from NACWA CEO Affirms Commitment to Providing Essential Clean Water Services

Today EPA issued Coronavirus guidance for drinking water and wastewater for the public, reiterating that Americans can continue to use and drink water from their tap. Additionally, EPA’s guidance cites the World Health Organization’s declaration that, “there is no evidence to date that COVID-19 virus has been transmitted via sewerage systems, with or without wastewater treatment.”

In light of this, Adam Krantz, NACWA’s Chief Executive Officer, issued the following statement:

“America’s public clean water utilities and the hardworking men and women who operate them remain essential public servants on the front lines of environmental protection and will continue to ensure access to clean water services during this period. The water and wastewater treatment sector are critical to minimizing exposure to coronavirus and will continue this vital service to communities around the country without interruption.”
