At Butler County Water System, Inc. we take great pride in our role of ensuring high-quality water services to homes and businesses throughout the county. Clean, safe drinking water is a mainstay of healthy, vibrant communities, and we are committed to ensuring these services are affordable and available to our region now and in the future.
Our Customers
With a diverse blend of residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial customers, BCWS works diligently to serve over 4,600 water customers with an average of 850,000 gallons of water each day.
The Systems That Serve You
BCWS maintains over 487 miles of pipeline throughout a 440-square-mile area. We test the purity of the water that is delivered to you an average of 15 times each month to ensure its quality around the clock.
Where Your Water Comes From
BCWS draws its water from the Green River, a surface water source which flows through Butler County. The water is treated by BCWS at its treatment plant in Morgantown. An annual report of water testing and results can be found on the site’s Water Quality section.
Environmental Protection
Environmental stewardship is a BCWS priority with efforts aimed at ensuring water facilities are in place and maintained to meet the growing needs of the region, and that facilities are constructed in environmentally-responsible ways.
BCWS leaders also work closely with the economic development community to keep pace with changing needs and ensure pipelines are in place and in proper working order when needed.
 Planning for the future
In order for our community to grow prosperously, BCWS must work closely with planners to (1) identify growth projections and industry needs, (2) open discussion about the best ways to meet those needs, and (3) ensure adequate water facilities, ample water supply, and reliable water treatment capabilities are in place when needed.
We regularly compare system capacities to existing and projected customer usage to determine where improvements are needed. The challenge is not only to plan for these improvements, but also find the most economical funding sources in order to keep rates as low as possible for our customers. |
