NEIWPCC is a regional commission that helps the states of the Northeast preserve and advance water quality.
Established in 1947, we engage and convene water quality professionals and other stakeholders across New England and New York to collaborate on clean water and environmental science challenges across shared regions, ecosystems, and areas of expertise.

Our History
Making waves since 1947: Learn how our work has evolved over the decades.
Formerly called the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission, in 2020 we adopted the acronym NEIWPCC as our formal name.
Organizational Structure
Our executive committee and commissioners (gubernatorial appointees from each of our member states) set the goals and priorities implemented by the Executive Director and the staff. Further coordination of the work comes from the directors of our three programmatic divisions: Water Quality, Wastewater and Onsite Programs, and Water Resource Protection.
NEIWPCC’s headquarters are in Lowell, Mass. We also employ staff elsewhere to support programs and projects in our member states.
