ALEC has worked with the energy industry to create loophole-filled water protections and opposes federal oversight of fracking.
May 4, 2012 | An influential trade
association representing companies that provide water services to one in
four Americans says it will continue its membership with the American
Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative group that has worked with
the energy industry to create loophole-filled water protections and
opposes federal oversight of fracking.
The National Association of Water Companies represents the far-reaching
privatized water utility industry that serves “nearly 73 million people
every day,” according to the association’s website.
NAWC represents more than 150 private water companies, each of whom pay
an annual fee to the association. Its board of directors is drawn from
the leadership of some of the country’s largest water companies.
