9 American Water Plants Receive National Recognition In PA
|
|
PA American Water this week announced the receipt of 15 Directors Awards of Recognition from the Partnership for Safe Water. Fourteen plants received awards for maintaining Phase III certification for ten years, and one plant was presented with its first Directors Award for Phase III certification.
The facilities winning recognition include: Brownsville Water Treatment Plant; Crystal Lake Water Treatment Plant; Kane Water Treatment Plant; Lake Scranton Water Treatment Plant; Norristown Water Treatment Plant; Punxsutawney Water Treatment Plant; Susquehanna Water Treatment Plant; Watres Water Treatment Plant; and White Deer Creek Water Treatment Plant.
In addition, Pennsylvania American Water’s Stony Garden Water Treatment Plant received its first Phase III Directors Award.
The Partnership is a voluntary initiative developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other water organizations to recognize water suppliers that consistently achieve water treatment standards that surpass EPA regulatory requirements. The awards were presented today during the 2011 American Water Works Association Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
“Our employees are committed to delivering the best water quality possible to our customers, at an exceptional value at about a penny per gallon,” said Jeff Sterba, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We're pleased to achieve this recognition from the Partnership as a testament to our dedication to operational excellence.”
As a member of the Partnership for Safe Water, American Water demonstrates its commitment to voluntarily providing drinking water of a quality better than is required by federal standards. American Water has had more plants receive Phase III certification than any other water utility in the country. Approximately one-third of all water treatment plants nationwide to receive Phase III certification are American Water plants.
In 2011, American Water is celebrating its 125th anniversary with a yearlong campaign to promote water efficiency and the importance of protecting water from source to tap.
