2002 Massachusetts Drinking Water Awards

Ceremony Held May 9, 2002 at the Holiday Inn, Mansfield

2002 PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM AWARDS 

The Massachusetts PWS Awards recognize community water systems for outstanding performance during the previous calendar year. Plaques are given to those systems that earn at least 90 percent of the possible points achievable for their category.  Points are based on regulatory compliance, source protection and distribution programs, certification and training of operators, and community outreach activities.  

These annual awards are given jointly by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, the Massachusetts Water Works Association, the Northeast Rural Water Association, and RHI's Northeast Rural Community Assistance Program.
