Powelson Pens Letter to the Editor in Philadelphia Inquirer
NAWC President and CEO Rob Powelson recently placed a letter to the editor in the Philadelphia Inquirer. In the letter, he responded to inaccurate claims made in an Inquirer editorial about the future of the Chester Water Authority. Powelson details how a partnership with a private company would bring capital, expertise and innovation to Chester.
He also takes the editorial board to task for perpetuating “tired, unsubstantiated claims” that regulated private water companies prioritize profit over service. Powelson points out that Pennsylvania’s water companies understand that providing reliable, affordable water is essential for long-term success and that these companies are under strict regulatory oversight that ensure fair rates.
