Strength, Vision, and Service: Mishawaka Utilities Water Division’s Lasting Legacy
By Matt Lentsch

In Mishawaka, we have a lot to be proud of—and at the heart of that pride stands the strength and reliability of our Mishawaka Utilities Water Division (MUW). Since 1903, MUW has been providing safe, clean, and dependable water to our citizens, and today, more than a century later, it remains a cornerstone of our community’s health, growth, and quality of life.

MUW’s infrastructure is a model of thoughtful planning and steady investment. From our modern water treatment facilities to our robust distribution network, every element has been carefully built and maintained to ensure we meet the needs of today while preparing for tomorrow. Thanks to a consistent vision and proactive development, MUW is not just keeping up with demand—it’s leading the way, ensuring that Mishawaka and the broader St. Joseph County area have the resources needed for generations to come.

A key part of this enduring success is the leadership that has guided MUW over the years, and today that leadership is stronger than ever. Under the direction of MUW Manager Dave Majewski, our Water Division continues to embody excellence. Dave’s dedication, knowledge, and steady hand have ensured that the system not only runs efficiently but continues to evolve with the highest standards in mind. His leadership, combined with the strength of the entire MUW team, is a major reason why the City of Mishawaka can confidently say we are ready for the future.

It is clear that the partnership between Mishawaka Utilities and the City of Mishawaka has been built on smart planning, thoughtful development, and a commitment to service above all else. Together, they have created a water system that doesn’t just serve—it leads. Our citizens can have full confidence that their water supply is secure, sustainable, and strong.

The legacy of MUW is not just in pipes and pumps; it’s in the everyday lives of the people who call Mishawaka home. It’s in the businesses that thrive here, the families who grow here, and the future generations who will continue to benefit from the decisions made long ago—and the leadership that continues today.

As we look ahead, there is no doubt: Mishawaka Utilities Water Division and the City of Mishawaka are prepared to meet the future with strength, vision, and unwavering commitment.
