Mobile Area Water And Sewer

MAWSS also operates two Wastewater Treatment Plants in Mobile and has been recognized as being an excellent steward of the environment for its operations regulatory compliance. In an effort to decrease the number of sanitary sewer overflows caused by improper grease disposal, MAWSS launched the "It's Easy To Be Ungreasy" cooking grease recycling campaign. In this program, customers are encouraged to pick up free containers at various locations and return them once they are full of used cooking grease. Other current campaigns include the annual "Fun With Water" Watercolor Contest in which students are encouraged to paint watercolors that represent something that he/she loves to do with water. The purpose of the program is to emphasize the importance of having clean water and how it affects so much of our daily lives. Willie Water, along with other MAWSS programs, help bring the younger generation to consciousness about conserving our environment - especially water, an important investment for our future.
