Private Water Operators

Private Water Operators are licensed companies or individuals responsible for managing and maintaining water systems—such as supplying drinking water—on behalf of communities or properties. They handle tasks like ensuring water quality, operating treatment facilities, maintaining infrastructure, and complying with health regulations. Contracted by public agencies or private entities, these operators ensure reliable, safe water services without the need for local governments to directly manage every aspect of water provision. This partnership helps improve efficiency and expertise in delivering clean water to homes, businesses, and institutions.
