CLEAN WATER FOR
A CLEAR FUTURE

We are GLWA and we know that water is the future. From the lakes, rivers and streams that shape southeast Michigan’s waterways, to the pumps and pipes that carry it home, we deliver the water that powers your day. We are committed to serving our community and the environment as stewards of today and guardians of tomorrow.

HOW WE KEEP Your
WATER FLOWING.

Behind every tap is a complex system working around the clock. We’re here to make that system easier to understand, so together we can make informed decisions and care for our ourselves, our communities, and future generations.

Building a Climate-Resilient Infrastructure

“In wastewater, we work hard to protect our community by providing clean effluent water and controlling the flow of stormwater. As our community changes in population and weather patterns shift, we need to invest in a resilient wastewater infrastructure to protect our communities for decades to come.”
