This is an important step to ensure that the innovations and technology investments made when upgrading outdated and frequently non-compliant infrastructure, meet industry standards for safety and compliance. Depending on the state in which CSWR owns and operates a utility company, these regulatory bodies may be a state\u2019s business, utility, or service governing authority (such as a Public Service Commission).<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item \">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                DO THESE REGULATORY AGENCIES SET OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>The governing body that oversees the jurisdictional operations of utilities in each state ultimately determines rates for CSWR customers. As a privately owned utility, CSWR must apply with the Public Utilities Commission of the state where its subsidiary utility company operates when seeking to raise rates. There is no guarantee on a specific return, though private companies are entitled to a fair and reasonable return on their investments which is evaluated through a rigorous process during which the private company must provide evidence that the capital it has invested to build up, repair, replace and ultimately maintain a system has been reasonable and that the company is operating prudently and in good faith. Customers are always notified first by the utility company when a rate increase is sought, and customers have the right to review the rate requests and comment in writing to the Public Service Commission, and\/or attend scheduled hearings.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item \">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                HOW DOES CSWR BRING VALUE TO CUSTOMERS? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>CSWR has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire and transform critical water and wastewater systems across the United States, focusing predominantly on those smaller, underserved communities in areas where property values may have diminished due to inadequate or noncompliant infrastructure. Smaller utility companies in particular often struggle with compliance issues due to a lack of access to capital and an absence of technical expertise needed to operate at required standards. Did you know that water utilities serving under 2,500 people comprise only 10% of all water utilities in the U.S. but make up 80% of the EPA\u2019s acute human health violations? These communities face unique challenges and significant funding barriers. Our investments elevate communities, ultimately enhancing value and helping to drive outside development and growth.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <a href=\"#cswr-faq\" class=\"back-to-top\">Back To Top<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"faq-item\" id=\"drinking-water\">\n            <h4>Drinking Water<\/h4>\n            <div class=\"info-card\">\n                <div class=\"accordion\">\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item open\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                WHAT COSTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DRINKING WATER? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>Water may be considered a human right and therefore a free resource, but that is not what customers are paying for. As a customer, you are paying the financial cost of sourcing, treating, and delivering water to your home. This occurs through a system of pipes, pumps, treatment plants and reservoirs, all of which must be carefully maintained. Untreated potable water can carry harmful bacteria and contaminants; treatment purifies the water, removing potentially harmful contaminants and safeguarding the water for drinking, bathing, and general consumption. Similarly, you can\u2019t just flush water down the toilet or run dirty water down the sink and expect it to be discharged directly onto the ground or the surrounding environments &#8211; this water must be treated before it can be safely released.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item \">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                WHAT IS THE SAFE WATER DRINKING ACT? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>The Safe Water Drinking Act was passed by U.S. Congress in 1972, authorizing the EPA to set standards for water delivered to households and communities across the United States. Some highlights of the Act include the setting of enforceable health standards for contaminants in drinking water, which is what guides a utility provider\u2019s issuance of Boil Water Advisories. Currently there are 911 regulated contaminants in drinking water. The EPA requires public notification of water system violations and annual reports; CSWR publishes these as Consumer Confidence Reports, available per system for all CSWR customers concerned about their water quality. The Act also includes provisions to protect underground sources of drinking water.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item \">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                WHAT DOES &#8220;AGING INFRASTRUCTURE&#8221; MEAN AND WHAT IS ITS IMPACT? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>In the water utility industry, \u201cinfrastructure\u201d refers to all the assets or equipment related to the sourcing, treatment, and delivery of potable water to your tap. And in the United States, much of this infrastructure is reaching its end of design life \u2013 deteriorating to the point where its viability is often compromised. As climate change intensifies, it\u2019s even more crucial to invest in our infrastructure to safeguard both our communities and our environment. Did you know that aging water infrastructure loses water at an alarming rate? It\u2019s estimated that drinking water systems in the U.S. currently lose at least 2.1 trillion gallons of treated water per year (approximately $7.6 billion) to water main breaks and leaky pipes.\u00a0<i>(Source: Water Online).<\/i><\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item \">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                WHY DO WE NEED TO UPGRADE OUR WATER TREATMENT FACILITY? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>The systems acquired by CSWR are typically decades old, outdated, often noncompliant and in violation of EPA standards, and in various states of distress \u2013 even if this type of disrepair is not always visible to the end consumer (example: leaking pipes that not only facilitate contaminants entering a water distribution system, but also alternately allow treated water to seep out, wasting the water). Ultimately, it\u2019s always more expensive to repair a system that has deteriorated from lack of maintenance than it is to have consistently maintained a system by re-investing into it to prolong its utility and promote its longevity. It takes several years and an ongoing commitment to bring these systems into compliance as we safeguard communities with current, upgraded technology that ensures the highest quality water and resources.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <a href=\"#cswr-faq\" class=\"back-to-top\">Back To Top<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"faq-item\" id=\"wastewater\">\n            <h4>Wastewater<\/h4>\n            <div class=\"info-card\">\n                <div class=\"accordion\">\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item open\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                WHAT IS WASTEWATER? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>Wastewater is any waste stream that is discharged from a household or business into the community collection system which is then treated and released into local waterways.

It takes several years and an ongoing commitment to bring these systems into compliance as we safeguard communities with current, upgraded technology. CSWR invests millions of dollars equipping facilities with everything ranging from water aeration platforms and holding tanks, to building lagoons and protecting them from outside entry; repairing lift stations and installing remote-monitoring technology to quickly identify issues and prevent them from escalating; replacing disinfection systems that pose acute human health risks over time, upgrading and replacing mechanical components on hundreds of thousands of dollars\u2019 worth of machinery &#8211; and more.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item \">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                WHAT DOES A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT DO? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>Wastewater is treated through natural exposure to sunlight, or, alternately treated with chemicals designed to speed up natural processes that break down most of the waste that a household or business produces. Treatment plants remove the impurities contained in wastewater so that the treated water can then be safely discharged into nearby creeks and streams. This is done by creating an environment favorable to the growth of microorganisms whose job is to break down the water into less harmful forms, accomplished through an accelerated process allowing for the treatment of larger volumes of wastewater in a shorter period of time.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <a href=\"#cswr-faq\" class=\"back-to-top\">Back To Top<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"faq-item\" id=\"water-conservation\">\n            <h4>Water Conservation<\/h4>\n            <div class=\"info-card\">\n                <div class=\"accordion\">\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item open\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                HOW CAN I HELP CONSERVE WATER IN MY HOME? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>There are some easy ways you can help to conserve water \u2013 see our \u201cFrom the Tap\u201d\u00a0<a title=\"blog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.centralstateswaterresources.com\/Blog\" type=\"page\">blog<\/a>\u00a0where we have some great tips and pointers on this.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item \">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\n                                HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A LEAK? <span class=\"accordion-toggle\">+<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                                <p>We are contacted from time to time by customers who experience higher than expected water usage in their home and think they may have a leak. Unfortunately, if there is a leak impacting the water usage recorded by the meter, it is necessarily on the customer-owned side of the system and will be the customer\u2019s responsibility to find and repair.<\/p>\n<p>Calling a plumber to help identify and repair a leak is always an available option. However, if you want to first attempt to confirm the leak, the following procedures may help to confirm or deny the presence of a leak.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, see if there is an obvious source of higher water usage. Do you have a toilet that continues to run, or that runs periodically? Such additional usage can be quite substantial, especially if it is left running when no one is home. This problem could be as easy as a bad flapper valve, which is cheap and easy to replace. Is there a faucet that drips regularly in your home? Again, usage associated with a dripping faucet can be quite substantial, if it continues for a long period of time. If these problems are noticed and repaired, water usage should decrease. If there is no obvious source of a leak, proceed to step 2.<\/li>\n<li>Identify the location of your water meter and verify that the meter is running (the number on the meter is changing). Turn off all valves on appliances, faucets, etc. where water could possibly be used in your house. This includes your hot water heater, outside hose spigots, ice makers, sinks, toilets etc. Once all potential water users in the house have been turned off, wait a few minutes then check the meter again. If you confirm that you have shut off all sources of water use in your home and the meter is still running, you most likely have a leak.<\/li>\n<li>Now you\u2019ve determined that you have a leak, the next step is to determine if the leak is inside or outside of your house. Locate your home\u2019s main shut off valve and shut off the water at the valve. (Typically, you will find the shut off valve in the basement or garage directly behind an outdoor faucet, or outside below an outdoor faucet.) Then check again for movement on the meter, making sure not to use any water during this period. If the meter stops moving or there is no change in the meter readings, then you have a leak inside of the house. If the leak indicator continues to move or there is a change in the meter readings, then the leak is outside between the meter and the house.<\/li>\n<li>If you confirm a leak in your home, or are unable to locate the leak, contact a professional plumber to help identify and repair the leak.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Click\u00a0<a title=\"here\"
