Municipal authorities have been providing the citizens of our Commonwealth with a wide array of critical services for over 80 years.
All too often authorities do their work efficiently and quietly, in the background, with their good work taken for granted, a consequence of the safe, reliable, and economical services provided.
Authorities are a success story that needs to be told. They meet the continuing environmental and regulatory challenges of the evolving world. They work in concert with their municipalities to manage and support the growth and vitality of our communities.
In a time when privatization and monetization threaten this model of service, the authority story needs to move to the forefront more than ever before.
This award recognizes member authorities that have established an effective communications strategy for their customers through design, innovation, creativity, comprehensiveness, and effectiveness.

PMAA represents more than 700 municipal authorities across the state. The authorities provide drinking water, sewage treatment, waste management, and recreational and community projects valued at billions of dollars to over six million Pennsylvania citizens.
