Shape how water works

SAWWA acts to advance and protect the interests of the local water industry. SAWWA helps you reach out to consumers and build relationships with your community.

We do this by considering problems in the production and distribution of safe, adequate water supplies in order to promote improvements in knowledge, design, construction, operation, and management of water utilities.

SAWWA has existed since 1958 to provide opportunities to network and learn from each other.  Our monthly and special committee meetings also provide great opportunities to earn CEUs for State operator certifications.  Because of our members, we are able to meet SAWWA’s objectives:

• To advance and implement improvements in knowledge, design, construction, operation, and management of water utilities;
• To consider and solve problems in the production and distribution of safe, adequate water supplies;
• To promote the dissemination of water utility information in order to improve the understanding of the complexities of the industry; and
• To offer to members of the Association, their organizations, and to other appropriate persons or organizations the individual or collective water utility expertise that is available from members of the Association.

As voted by the membership at the December 2015 meeting, the annual dues for 2016 has increased to $50.  In keeping with the SAWWA’s Bylaws (Article II, Section 2.0), members must attend a minimum of TWO regular general meetings.  Therefore, the 2016 Membership Dues reflects an annual dues/minimum fee of $90 (includes increased dues and two regular monthly meeting costs at $20/meeting).  Alternatively, the full-year fee is $340.  For each member, the monthly meeting roster/sign-in sheets will be used to track minimum attendance and credits for two lunch meeting costs.
