Capital Region Water (CRW), formerly known as the Harrisburg Authority, is a municipal authority serving the greater Harrisburg area in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. It provides drinking water, wastewater treatment, and stormwater management services to thousands of residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
