About Us

PWWC Mission Statement

The primary mission of the Princeton Water & Wastewater Commission is to plan for, operate, and maintain both the infrastructure and the organization necessary to purvey high quality drinking water, to provide an adequate and reliable water supply for all household, commercial, and community needs, and to sustain and enhance the region’s watersheds and quality of life by managing wastewater effectively. In fulfilling its mission, the utility seeks to be customer-focused, delivering services with integrity, in a equitable, and cost-effective manner, with a commitment to public involvement. The utility’s vision for the future includes an active role in developing a legacy of financial and environmental stewardship.

“We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.” Thomas Fuller

“For many of us, water simply flows from a faucet, and we think little about it beyond this point of contact. We have lost a sense of respect for the wild river, for the complex workings of a wetland, for the intricate web of life that water supports.” Sandra Postel

“Water is one of the most basic of all needs – we cannot live for more than a few days without it. And yet, most people take water for granted. We waste water needlessly and don’t realize that clean water is a very limited resource. More than 1 billion people around the world have no access to safe, clean drinking water, and over 2.5 billion do not have adequate sanitation service. Over 2 million people die each year because of unsafe water – and most of them are children!” Robert Alan Aurthur

PWWC is a collective of amazing people striving to provide the very best service possible!

The PWWC is responsible for the safe treatment and timely distribution of drinking water to the citizens of the City of Princeton, in addition to residents located in Caldwell County and Lyon County by virtue of selling water to these water districts. Additionally, the Commission provides wastewater treatment services to customers mainly located within the city limits of Princeton.
