Clean Water Current

NACWA staff joined the National Rural Water Association (NWRA) this week for its annual WaterPro Conference at the National Harbor outside of Washington, DC. The event brought together over 1700 attendees representing water and wastewater utility systems of all sizes, both municipal and rural, from across the country to connect and share best practices.  

The conference provided an opportunity for representatives from federal and state governments to collaborate with local leaders, hear new ideas and gain solutions to emerging challenges. One of the primary themes for the week revolved around supporting communities in their quest to capitalize on funding and other resources provided through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The conference also provided training sessions on a host of issues ranging from community engagement and asset management to addressing PFAS contamination and supply chain disruptions.  

NACWA appreciates its productive relationship with NRWA to advance clean water collaboration across utilities and communities from small to large. NACWA was pleased to sponsor this event and support the efforts NRWA undertakes to help deliver clean and safe water nationwide.
