About Us
Albany Water provides clean drinking water and maintains the sewer system for the City of Albany. As a 24/7 operation, we manage the water supply at local reservoirs, filter the water at our treatment plant, and reliably deliver water through our transmission and distribution system. We also maintain the pipes that safely carry away wastewater and stormwater. The Department has approximately 30,000 customers (including homes, businesses, and public facilities), and has two governing bodies (Albany Water Board and Albany Municipal Water Finance Authority.)
