City Beautiful H2O Program Plan

The City Beautiful H2O Program Plan (Program Plan) is Capital Region Water’s responsible approach to addressing a combination of system-wide infrastructure deterioration and failure with high-priority water quality compliance activities. Capital Region Water must balance the delivery of reliable service with the Federal Clean Water Act and Commonwealth Clean Streams Law obligations in a manner that our ratepayers can afford.

During this reporting period, CRW continued to address comments from USEPA and PADEP on the City Beautiful H2O Program Plan (submitted on April 1, 2018).
