This year Holley Navarre Water System (HNWS) celebrates its 55th anniversary as a company.  Founded in 1970, the system has grown to currently serve over 17,000 members which is a population of more than 40,000 people.   The Board of Directors and I thought this would be a good opportunity to update the community on what’s going on at your local water company.  HNWS has not been without challenges over the years, as highlighted by a recent election dispute.  However, the current board and staff remain focused on the core mission to efficiently provide its members with safe drinking water and to process wastewater in an efficient environmentally sustainable manner.  We have a staff of nearly 70 professionals dedicated to this mission.  HNWS operates its water and wastewater systems 24/7, providing an essential service often taken for granted.
