Who We Are

We’re the people that design, construct, and maintain the infrastructure necessary to keep the taps running, toilets flushing, and stormwater runoff pollutant free. Our members help keep Vermont's surface and ground waters clean, safe, and beautiful to serve our water use needs, recreation, and precious ecosystems.
