Active Projects

Finding a balance between great customer service and a low cost to provide service is key to the success of public organizations. One tool OLWS uses to achieve that balance is the OLWS Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which helps organize and manage resources.

Below is a list of Active Projects in our community. Do you have questions about an Active Project? Please email aaron.janicke@olws.org for more information.
