California Water Efficiency Partnership

The California Water Efficiency Partnership (CalWEP), formerly the California Urban Water Conservation Council, became AWE’s first state chapter on July 1, 2019, bringing together two of the country’s major organizations dedicated to improving and enhancing water efficiency in California, the United States, and beyond. California-based organizations benefit from a dual membership in AWE and CalWEP.  

CalWEP is an innovative leader, voice, and expert on water efficiency in California that fosters collaboration among a wide variety of stakeholders. CalWEP carries forward the leadership, expertise, and collaboration that were the hallmarks of the Council but with a new name and new, nimble framework. The new name communicates a vision for an innovative organization that provides leadership on water efficiency issues in California and conveys the spirit of inclusion and collaboration among various stakeholders. The new framework allows the organization to serve members and quickly adapt to California’s changing regulatory, political, social, economic, and environmental climate.

Mission: To maximize urban water efficiency and conservation throughout California by supporting and integrating innovative technologies and practices; encouraging effective public policies; advancing research, training, and public education; and building collaborative approaches and partnerships. Learn more here.
