👥 Meet the Team: Meet Tom, one of MPWC’s Field Service Technicians.

From responding to emergency water main breaks to replacing lead service lines and hydrants, Tom helps keep our system operating safely and reliably behind the scenes.

No two days are exactly alike. Some days involve planned infrastructure work, while others require emergency response at a moment’s notice.

“What I wish more people understood is how many rules and regulations go into providing safe water service. Requirements are constantly evolving, and we always have to stay one step ahead.”

We’re grateful for team members like Tom who help keep our community running every day.

☀️ Summer is here… which means water usage is about to spike.

As temperatures rise, so does the demand on local water systems. From watering lawns to filling pools and longer showers after days outside, summer is one of the busiest times of year for water usage.

A few simple habits can help conserve water while still keeping your yard and home summer-ready:
• Water early in the morning or later in the evening
• Avoid overwatering lawns
• Check for leaks or running hoses

Small changes can make a big difference throughout the season!
