Government Affairs Committee

About Us

This committee serves as MEWEA’s policy voice in Augusta and beyond. We advocate for legislation and regulations that protect Maine’s water resources while supporting sustainable utility operations.

What We Do

• Track proposed state and federal legislation.

• Provide testimony and comments on regulatory issues.

• Partner with allied organizations to amplify our message.

• Keep MEWEA members informed of policies that affect their work.

Why It Matters

Clean water policy affects every Mainer. By representing practitioners, we ensure that laws and regulations are grounded in science, practicality, and fairness.
