Ineligible for PROD - de-prodded in 2009, kept at AfD in 2012.

The first PRODder's reasoning was "appears to be one of thousands of lobbying / educational groups in the state capitol", and that appears to be correct, as far as I can tell. The group's leaders are regularly quoted on water issues, but being quoted is not sufficient to pass WP:GNG or WP:NORG. I have been unable to locate any in-depth independent sources that discuss the CWFC ‘’as an organization’’, in Ghits, Gnews, and Gbooks.

The article was de-prodded in 2009 with the de-prodder commenting that sources would be added ASAP, but that never happened. In the 2012 AfD, the first keep vote explicitly acknowledges that the mentions of the org are trivial, despite being numerous. Neither party added any sources to the article or responded to the nominator's request for information about sources (which, although they aren’t required to, indicates that they aren’t as available as suggested). As with the 2012 nomination, I am happy to withdraw early if sourcing is located and added but I just don’t see it.
