CONGRATULATING TO RECIPIENTS OF DIRECTOR AWARD FROM THE PARTNERSHIP FOR 
                               SAFE WATER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 7, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Pennsylvania American Water, and the New Castle and 
Ellwood City Water Treatment Plants on receiving the Directors Award of 
recognition from the Partnership for Safe Water.
  The Partnership for Safe Water was created by the Environmental 
Protection Agency, and is dedicated to providing communities with 
drinking water that exceeds the requirements set by the Federal 
Government. To receive the Directors Award, water systems must examine 
the capabilities of their plant operations and then create a plan to 
put into action the new improvements.
  The Pennsylvania American Water has received the Directors Award for 
five consecutive years. Only 37 other water authorities have done the 
same. Among the 19 treatment facilities that were recognized in 
Pennsylvania, New Castle and Ellwood City were two.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring Pennsylvania American Water on receiving the 
Directors Award. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute such a principled 
authority like Pennsylvania American Water.
