Capacity Assurance Program 
MAWSS uses a Capacity Assurance Program to monitor the available capacity of their wastewater collection and transmission systems. Each request for wastewater service is evaluated to determine if capacity is available to accommodate the additional flows from the customer. Download a Wastewater Capacity Review Application here.
