TWQA Calls Attention to Door-to-Door Scams

The Texas Water Quality Association (TWQA) is calling attention to individuals claiming to be employees of TWQA going door-to-door passing themselves off as water inspectors, offering to test homeowner’s drinking water, or using scare tactics to sell water treatment devices.

TWQA Executive Director Daina Grace stated that “the Texas Water Quality Association does not solicit door-to-door, period.  The Association represents the water quality industry and does not sell products or solicit to test water for the public.  TWQA has a strict code of ethics for companies that join the Association.  We do not condone misrepresentation as TWQA or the use of scare tactics to generate business.”

You can find water treatment professionals who have committed to abide by the TWQA Code of Ethics by going to www.twqa.org and click on Find a Dealer. 

Please feel free to contact the TWQA office at 361-573-6707 or by email at twqadirector@twqa.org if you have any questions or concerns.
