Roswell Wins 2 Awards From State Water Organization

ROSWELL, GA -- The Roswell Water Utility has received two awards from the Georgia Association of Water Professionals.

The city is the recipient of the Fox McCarthy Water Wise Award and the Drinking Water Facility Gold Award, which were both awarded during GAWP’s annual spring conference in April.

The Fox McCarthy Water Wise Award was awarded for the city’s innovative Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and AquaHawk customer portal.

This award is presented annually by GAWP for an outstanding project in water conservation which is implemented by a water provider or user in Georgia.

AquaHawk, launched by the city in April 2015, is a free online portal that enables Roswell water customers to see their water usage and an estimate of their bill anytime during the billing cycle.

The Drinking Water Facility Gold Award honors the city’s water treatment plant for being in full compliance with state regulations and for meeting or exceeding the Safe Drinking Water Act and/or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements.

“These awards showcase the hard work and dedication of our water utility staff, who are continually looking for ways to improve service to our residents,” said Dan Skalsky, director of Roswell’s Environmental/Public Works Department. “The AquaHawk project is a great example of our team’s commitment to finding creative ways to enhance customer service while conserving water and saving money at the same time.”
