- [Confidence In Every Glass](https://covaagua.org/13444-2/) - “It’s like a floor that’s been swept, but it doesn’t shine yet. We’re still working on that.” For Gladys, safe water is not something you achieve once and walk away from. But even without the shine, the water system she helps lead today is a far cry from the one she inherited as water board president.
- [Building Habits For A Lifetime](https://covaagua.org/building-habits-for-a-lifetime/) - Through community visits, Cova's Circuit Rider program works specifically alongside water boards to strengthen the systems that deliver safe water.

Cova’s Circuit Rider Model helps communities maintain safe water systems long after infrastructure is installed by supporting
