The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County is a utilities provider that operates a large-scale drinking water system and wastewater network in western Pennsylvania. The organization has grown through a history of acquiring established water systems and extending pipelines, now serving a broad service area that spans roughly 25 miles east–west and 40 miles north–south, with thousands of miles of pipeline. In addition to delivering potable water, the MAWC supplies bulk water to neighboring communities in Allegheny, Fayette, and Armstrong counties, and maintains a wastewater system that serves several towns and townships, as well as portions of Greensburg and surrounding municipalities. The authority is based in New Stanton, Pennsylvania, and has a long-standing presence in the region dating back to its creation in 1942. A recent local development involves a partnership with Unity Township, Hempfield Township, and the MAWC to support a bridge replacement project, reflecting ongoing collaboration with nearby jurisdictions to maintain essential infrastructure.
