Aurora Wins Director’s Award from Partnership for Safe Water

The Director’s Award, issued by the Partnership for Safe Water Program was awarded to the City of Aurora, IL, Water Treatment Plant in June, 2010 for efforts to achieve drinking water quality that surpasses federal standards for protection against microbial contamination.

The Partnership for Safe Water is a voluntary effort between six drinking water organizations including the American Water Works Association and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as well as member water utilities that are committed to the enhancement of drinking water quality and operational excellence in water treatment.

On a practical level, the program is essentially a water quality/water treatment initiative where surface water treatment plants make an organizational commitment from top to bottom to produce the highest quality treated water supply.

The Directors Award is one of the highest honors in the nation a water treatment facility can receive. The City of Aurora Water Treatment Plant is one of only three municipally owned and operated surface water treatment plants in Illinois to have earned this honor.
