The OCWA was created to address the long-term water needs of Orange County, New York. The Authority supports local, intermunicipal and regional water planning and projects, and coordinates analysis of County water resources to provide a scientific basis for planning and decision-making. Our programs are focused on water supply, water resource protection, watershed planning, and conservation.

OCWA Water Educators bring an outstanding Water Conservation Education Program to school districts across Orange County. The program, offered free of charge, includes multiple sessions of NYSED-standards-based learning about the water cycle, community water use, pollution and its prevention.

The OCWA has been a member of the Groundwater Guardian Foundation since 1995. We have been recognized for our local programs to protect our precious water resources.
