Aqua’s Roaring Creek plant is one of just 15 water treatment
plants in Pennsylvania to be presented with the President’s Award,
which recognizes treatment plants that have achieved the highest
possible levels of individual filter performance. Roaring Creek was
assessed against very stringent performance goals with specific
numeric water quality standards by the Partnership for Safe Water’s
Treatment Plant Optimization Program. The program was designed to
help utilities assess treatment plant performance, make
enhancements in operations to reduce risk of exposure to
contaminants such as Cryptosporidium, and achieve superior water
quality beyond regulations.
“It is an honor to be recognized by the Partnership for Safe
Water for our commitment to water quality,” said Roaring Creek
Superintendent Rich Kotwica. “We work hard to maintain the highest
water quality standards possible, and continually strive to improve
our operations for our customers’ benefit. To be recognized as one
of the highest performing plants in the country reaffirms that our
diligence is paying off.”
“I am very proud of the employees who make up the Roaring Creek
Division water treatment plant team and who have done a tremendous
job improving water quality and meeting the high standards of the
President’s Award,” said Aqua Pennsylvania President Marc Lucca.
“Achieving this recognition is a prime indication of how committed
Aqua’s employees are to protecting and providing the Earth's most
essential resource.”
The Partnership for Safe Water currently includes more than 250
water utilities, collectively serving more than 100 million people.
Each utility has committed to the enhancement of drinking water
quality and operational excellence in water treatment. The
Partnership is an alliance of the American Water Works Association,
Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies, Association of State
Drinking Water Administrators, United States Environmental
Protection Agency, National Association of Water Companies, and the
Water Research Foundation.
Aqua Pennsylvania serves approximately 1.4 million people in 32
