Water Quality
A look into GLWA’s water quality standards, testing, and treatment practices.
A key indicator of success for GLWA has been our strong financial performance, allowing us to earn member partners’ and investors’ trust through financial stability and transparency. Access GLWA’s five-year financial archive below.
As a key part in our mission for transparency, we release our budget and financial plans yearly, which can be downloaded below.
The GLWA’s Audit Committee shall meet at least four (4) times per year, with the Authority’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and the Authority’s independent public auditors to review the reports related to the financial condition, operations, performance and management of the Authority.
Prior years regional systems annual financial information.
Annually the Board of Directors establishes member partner charges that align with the budget and financial plan. The charges are approved after a series of engaged member-partner meetings and a public hearing.
