Drinking Water Advisory Work Group (DWAWG)
Meeting schedules, agendas, and minutes from past meetings of this open-participation group, which meets quarterly to discuss compliance with state and federal drinking-water regulations and improving customer service.
The DWAWG was established in 1992 by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission which is a predecessor agency of TCEQ. Based on input from the group, TCEQ Water Supply Division 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.
