The California Water Association (CWA) is an industry association based in San Francisco, California, that represents regulated water utilities active in the state. Collectively, its membership comprises more than ninety utilities that serve over six million customers, with water professionals who work in the communities they serve. Its member companies are engaged in building and maintaining water infrastructure, safeguarding natural resources, and delivering clean, reliable drinking water. Regulation of these utilities is overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission, which sets rates and service guidelines, while the State Water Resources Control Board shares responsibility for drinking water quality. CWA engages with regulators and policymakers to inform regulatory decisions that affect its members and their customers, bringing its expertise to the CPUC, SWRCB, and other stakeholders. In March 2026, Carmelitha Bordelon was appointed President of the association.
