Charlotte Water

We're honored that Charlotte Water has received the Innovation Award for Renew Brew from the American Water Works Association (AWWA) at this year's ACE26 Conference, the water industry's premier annual conference. The award recognizes programs that advance the water profession through creativity, leadership, and forward-thinking solutions.

Created in partnership with Town Brewing, Xylem and Yellow Duck Marketing, Renew Brew transformed highly purified recycled water, QC Water, into the first beer demonstration project of its kind in the Carolinas. But this project was always about much more than beer. It was about starting conversations, challenging perceptions, and showing what's possible when innovation, sustainability and community partnerships come together. Since launching in 2024, Renew Brew has sparked national attention, earned Best in Show at the Queen City Brewers Festival, and helped thousands of people think differently about water reuse and the future of sustainable water supplies. This recognition belongs to every partner who believed in the idea and helped bring it to life. Together, we're proving that some of the best innovations don't just solve problems, they inspire new conversations.

It's National Hydration Day, and we take that personally. Your water is safe, clean, and always on tap!💧

Movies. Popcorn. Bouncy houses. And plenty of water! 💧🎬 We had a blast joining The Park Church for Community Movie Night, bringing our water wagon out to keep the fun going all evening long. Nights like this remind us why we love serving this community!

Summer is officially here! ☀️ As the days get longer and the temps climb, remember to use water wisely. Small habits make big impacts on our water resources!

From our Charlotte Water family to yours, Happy Father's Day!

We join in celebrating freedom and honoring the generations whose courage, perseverance, and contributions have helped shape the community we serve. Happy Juneteenth!
