CVCWA is the voice of Central Valley wastewater agencies in regulatory matters on the local, regional and state level.
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.
CVCWA is currently comprised of over 50 public wastewater collection and treatment member agencies, representing over 7 million people in the Central Valley.
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.
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.
Water quality in California is regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board and nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards.
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.
