Established in 1993, CPAWC is a consortium of 24 public agencies in and around Washington County. The consortium focuses on two main efforts: public works equipment sharing and combined training opportunities. By working collaboratively we share resources and skills resulting in cost savings and increase effectiveness and efficiency.

In 2018, CPAWC became a 501.c.3 non-profit organization. Annual dues are used to maintain the CPAWC Website, partially fund training opportunities and minimal administrative costs. Membership into CPAWC is voluntary and available only to publicly-funded public agencies (local government and special districts such as water, sewer and fire, school districts, road authorities, etc.).

CPAWC representatives are available to present information about the Cooperative to neighborhood and community groups, City Councils, Boards and Commissions. For more information or to have someone to make contact with you, please visit the Contact Us page and submit a request. CPAWC maintains several working committees to coordinate resources, information, and training opportunities.
