Water System
MAWSS provides safe drinking water and sanitary sewer service for more than 200,000 people in the Mobile metropolitan area. The source of drinking water is the J.B.Converse Reservoir, better known as Big Creek Lake which is located in the western part of Mobile County. The 3,600 acre reservoir, completed in 1952, holds 17 billion gallons and is continually fed by groundwater, streams and rainfall. Built to supply Mobile with water for future generations, it provides an abundant and enviable supply of quality water for Mobile and surrounding communities.
MAWSS has an alternative source of water in the Burton S. Butler River System which currently provides raw water for industrial use.
