The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) is a public authority in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, responsible for providing wholesale water and sewer services to over 3 million people and more than 5,500 large industrial users in 61 metropolitan Boston communities. The MWRA operates a complex system of reservoirs, treatment plants, and pipelines to ensure the delivery of clean, safe drinking water and the treatment of wastewater.

Sustainability Efforts:

• The MWRA is committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability, focusing on reducing its carbon footprint and enhancing the resilience of its water and wastewater systems.
• It has implemented energy efficiency measures and renewable energy projects, including the use of hydroelectric power and solar panels at its facilities.
• The authority is actively involved in watershed protection programs to maintain the quality of its water sources and has received recognition for its efforts in sustainable water management.
• MWRA's Deer Island Treatment Plant is a model of sustainability, utilizing renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, and converting methane gas from wastewater treatment into electricity.
• Despite these efforts, detailed ESG reports or specific sustainability certifications for the MWRA are not widely available, indicating an area for potential growth in transparency and reporting.
