(April 10, 2019) - NACWA presented at the Texas Water 2019 conference in Houston, TX last week during Water Week 2019, providing a national update on the Association’s legislative, regulatory, and legal advocacy efforts, which include recent efforts on federal funding, blending, water reuse, PFAS, and Clean Water Act liability for discharges into groundwater.

The Association also participated in a separate roundtable discussion at a meeting of the Governmental Affairs Committee of the Water Environment Association of Texas (WEAT).

Texas Water is jointly sponsored by WEAT and the Texas Section of the American Water Works Association (TAWWA) and is the largest regional water conference in the United States, attracting water professionals from across the state to discuss critical issues and technical developments. 

NACWA always welcomes the opportunity to participate and collaborate in state or regional water-related gatherings which can advance clean water policy.  If members are interested in having NACWA staff attend a state or regional meeting in their area, please contact Kelly Brocato, NACWA’s Senior Director, Membership Development and Retention.
