We Are Publicly Owned

Municipal Authority vs. Privately Owned

At Warwick Township Water & Sewer Authority (WTWSA), we are proud that our primary focus is on delivering the best possible services at the lowest possible cost to all our constituents. Our customers’ billed dollars are used to maintain and improve our infrastructure, which includes water and wastewater investments throughout our service area. Because we are publicly held and do not have shareholders, unlike investor-owned utilities, our goals are not driven by a desire to generate profits.

Ratepayer revenue is always spent or reinvested to finance current and future infrastructure improvements or to reduce or even avoid future rate increases.

Remember, in a drought watch, we should all be seeking to reduce water use by about 5 percent through voluntary conservation measures.

Much of the state is also at high risk for fire danger due to the dry conditions and burning should be done only with extreme caution or avoided altogether.
