Information
Organization's Own Description:
The National Rural Water Association (NRWA) was formed in 1976. Prior to that, rural and small utilities, (comprising 92% of our nation’s community water supplies), had little if any voice in legislative and regulatory issues. Today, NRWA through its State Rural Water affiliates is the nation’s largest water and wastewater utility membership association with over 29,000 utility members. Our strong grassroots advocacy ensures increased funds, and their availability, through the Rural Utilities Service, State Revolving Loan Funds and other private entities.
NRWA is the voice in regulatory debates, advocating for reasonable, practical, and affordable regulations for the majority of water supplies across the nation. This advocacy has established rural water as the trainer of the industry with our State Affiliates training over 100,000 people annually. Classroom instruction is followed-up with on-site assistance that facilitates governance, management and finance of operations, as well as, protection of our source water for future generations. These services and many more, specific to your state, are available through your State Rural Water Association.
NRWA State Affiliates are governed by the utility membership in their state and NRWA is governed by a non-paid Board of Directors consisting of one director from each State Affiliate. The National Office is located in the rural setting of Duncan, Oklahoma with a legislative office in Washington D.C.
The National Rural Water Association, through its state affiliates, is the largest water and wastewater utility membership organization in the nation representing over 26,696 public water and wastewater utilities. While membership includes utilities of all sizes, they primarily service populations of 10,000 or less and comprise 94% of the public water systems in America.
