Notice to Water Customers of MAWC

The MAWC is currently updating its customer’s emergency telephone numbers for utilization in the event of a water emergency as required under the new PA Notification Requirements.

The PA Department of Environmental Protection’s newly revised Public Notification Requirements, require water utilities to provide an automatic dialing system capable of notifying all of its customers in case of emergency.

In 2009 the MAWC contracted with Swiftreach Networks, a rapid notification service provider, to use the automated web-based dialing system which is capable of delivering phone messages or email messages at the rate of 3,000 per minute. This system will be used to notify customers of water service emergencies.

In order to effectively utilize this system it is important that the MAWC have accurate records relative to customer’s desired emergency telephone number, service address, and/or email address. Customers can be assured this information will only be utilized by the MAWC for water related public notifications.

The MAWC requests all customers to provide their updated emergency contact information via the MAWC website. Please go to the Public Notification section on the homepage at, www.mawc.org. Customers not utilizing the Internet are asked to call the office at 724-755-5800 or toll free at 800-442-6829 or mail the information to MAWC, 124 Park and Pool Road, New Stanton, PA 15672.
