Wastewater And Treatment Education Roundtable

The Wastewater And Treatment Education Roundtable (WATER) is an educational partnership between the North Central Texas Council of Governments, municipalities, and water utilities in the North Texas region. WATER's mission is to help reduce potential damage to the region's household plumbing systems and wastewater treatment systems as well as to decrease hazards to water quality through educational efforts related to the proper disposal of items such as wipes; paper towels; feminine hygiene and personal care products; medicines; household hazardous waste; and fats, oils, and grease (FOG).

The Wastewater and Treatment Education Roundtable is supported by an annual Work Program and individual cost shares provided by local particpants. For information on this year's Work Program and how to financially contribute to WATER's efforts, please view the linked Work Program below.
