The Community Water Systems (CWS) Interactive Map provides a detailed look at all of the Community Water Systems and the areas they serve. You have the option to search for a water system by using the search feature and entering the CWS Number (91-), ADEQ Number (AZ...), or the water system name. Another option is to select the service area on the map, where a pop-up will open providing you with the details of that water system. Some of the information provided in the pop-up includes: owner name, address, phone number, CWS number, ADEQ number and population of the service area. If you select your Community Water System and find the information to be incorrect, please contact ADWR so we can update your records. Community Water System Map
