PWC receives national award

By Staff Report, posted 1 year ago

The Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) is thrilled to announce it has been recognized with the 2024 Gold Award for Exceptional Utility Performance by the American Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA). PWC is one of six utilities in the nation recognized for this prestigious award this year.

“This one organization [Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies] represents water utilities from all 50 states and again, PWC is up at the top,” said Timothy Bryant, CEO/General Manager of Fayetteville PWC in a press release. “I want to thank Mick Noland and the entire Water Resources Team for everything they have done. It takes the efforts of everyone, whether it’s a crew in the field or staff in the office, working together and contribute towards making PWC a national leader in providing safe drinking water.”

PWC was recognized for this award due to their continuing commitment to their cutting-edge water treatment technology and dedication to providing safe and reliable drinking water. As a founding member of the Partnership for Safe Water, PWC has worked to exceed environmental standards, focusing on reducing industrial pollution and PFAS in our source waters. Because of PWC’s advocacy for safe drinking water, PWC’s water treatment facility hosted the EPA's announcement of new national drinking water standards earlier this year. 

"We are immensely proud to be recognized for our management excellence in drinking water utilities," said Mick Noland, Chief Operations Officer for the Water Resources Division of PWC in a press release. "This award is a testament to our dedicated team's hard work and our commitment to sustainability, safety, and customer satisfaction."

As PWC celebrates being recognized as a national leader, they remain committed to continue providing safe and reliable water services to their customers while remaining good stewards of the environment.
