How MPWC Keeps Drinking Water Clean and SafeWhen the Merchantville-Pennsauken Water Commission (MPWC) was first established in 1926, treating drinking water meant adding lime to control pH and chlorine to kill bacteria. Nearly a century later, the MPWC system has grown into a multi-stage treatment process designed to remove everything from naturally occurring minerals to synthetic industrial compounds. Here’s how that process […]

What does it actually take to keep water flowing 24/7?
Behind the scenes, MPWC crews are constantly monitoring systems, inspecting infrastructure, responding to emergencies, testing water quality, repairing mains, maintaining hydrants, and preparing for the unexpected.
Some days involve planned maintenance. Other days involve responding to leaks or emergency calls at a moment’s notice.
It’s work most people never see, but it’s happening every day to help keep safe, reliable water flowing throughout our community.
💧 Did You Know? If you have a leaking shut-off valve or interior plumbing issue, repairs within your property are typically the customer’s responsibility.
Main shut-off valves play an important role in controlling water flow into your home and can help prevent larger plumbing issues if maintained properly.
Not sure where your shut-off valve is located? It’s a good idea to identify it before an emergency happens.
👥 Meet the Team: Meet Raven, one of MPWC’s Staff Engineers.
From reviewing water applications to overseeing projects in the field, Raven helps support the infrastructure that keeps our water system operating safely and reliably every day.
Raven was drawn to the water industry through her interest in environmental engineering and water treatment and enjoys being part of an industry most people don’t think about until they turn on the tap.
“One thing I wish more people understood is that there’s a difference between groundwater and surface water treatment. Groundwater comes from aquifers drilled deep underground, while surface water comes from lakes, rivers, and streams.”
We’re grateful to have dedicated team members like Raven helping serve our community.
