Drinking Water Advisory Committee
The Drinking Water Advisory Committee (DWAC) is a standing committee appointed by DEQ's director to provide guidance and advice on issues related to safe drinking water policy and programs. The DWAC is composed of a cross-section of representatives from large and small water systems, the drinking water industry, and elected officials. The DWAC meets on an as-needed basis.
