Drinking Water Advisory Work Group (DWAWG)
The DWAWG was established in 1992 by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission’s (TNRCC) Public Drinking Water Section. Based on input from the group, TCEQ Drinking Water Section staff compiles agendas for each quarterly meeting. DWAWG provides the TCEQ with expanded knowledge and resources to help with existing and future drinking water issues.
