The Joint Water Quality Commission of Danbury and the St Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin (JWQC) was formed in 2007 with an intergovernmental compact by and between the Town of Swiss Sanitary District and the St Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin to form the JWQC.

The Contracting Parties investigated and determined that a regional wastewater collection, treatment and disposal system would best protect human life and health, fish and aquatic life, scenic and ecological values and domestic, municipal, recreational, industrial, agricultural and other uses of water.

Further, providing safe drinking water within the boundaries of the Sanitary District and St Croix's tribal lands adjacent is also a subject of public concern. The Contracting Parties investigated and determined that a regional system through joint action in the production, treatment, storage, transmission and sale of water is in the public interest.

The Joint Water Quality Commission of Danbury and St Croix Chippewa Indians (JWQC) is a service provider for Danbury and St Croix Chippewa Indians. There are two districts the Danbury Sanitary District and St Croix Sanitary District. The JWQC is the municipal utility of the water, and wastewater services. The JWQC is a six-member Commission with three members from the Danbury District and three members from the St Croix Chippewa Indians District. Our decisions are made by the commission under a tariff authorized by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission.
