1.5 Overview of the Organization

MCWA provides a high quality, safe, and reliable water supply, in a financially

responsible manner.

MCWA was created by State legislation in 1950 to solve the water supply needs of this

community. In 1959, MCWA took over the assets of the private New York Water

Service Corporation and had 27,000 retail customers serving just portions of the

County's inner ring towns and portions of the City. As surrounding towns and villages

faced new water supply challenges, the MCWA service area has steadily grown.

Today, we serve over 181,000 customers in every town and village in Monroe County

(partially in the City of Rochester) plus towns, villages and other water authorities in

each of the five adjacent counties.

The MCWA system infrastructure includes two operations centers and a meter shop;

three water treatment plants (i.e., Shoremont, Webster, and Corfu); 47 remote

pumping stations; 51 tanks and 2 storage reservoirs; and over 3,495 miles of

transmission and distribution water mains.

MCWA’s workforce consists of 43 Production & Transmission employees (Water

Treatment Plants; Claims & Compliance); 70 Facilities, Fleet & Operations employees

(Vehicle Shop, Warehouse, Distribution Maintenance, Hydrants, Valves and

Dispatch); 29 Engineering employees (Design, Engineering Support, Technical

Support and Construction Services); 61 Finance employees (Meter Services,

Accounting, Customer Service, Information Technology and Purchasing); and

Administration employees (Personnel, Security and Safety).
