CEC Research

Clancy Environmental Consultants, Inc. has supported drinking water research through the AwwaRF subscriber program since 1997. We have been involved in many AwwaRF studies on topics including various aspects of water quality microbiology, disinfection, analytical method development, and knowledge management. Project reports are available through the AwwaRF or AWWA.
