California Rural Water Association Takes Home
National Award

National Rural Water Association is pleased to announce that the California Rural Water Association won the prestigious Excellence in National Legislation award at NRWA’s Annual Tribute to Excellence Awards Ceremony held in Dallas, Texas on September 27.

The association is operating with a new Executive Director, Dan DeMoss and years worth of effort are being fine tuned into a fantastic legislative process.  California RWA really excels in linking their membership and legislators on national issues impacting the water and wastewater industry.  From this link, membership is better served and the association is able to move forward so it may provide more services and benefits to utilities.

The NRWA Awards in Excellence program was established to recognize the outstanding efforts of the Member State Affiliates, their staff, and special members of the rural water industry. 

The National Rural Water Association is a non-profit federation of State Rural Water Associations.  Its mission: to provide state associations with support services to meet the needs of their membership.  NRWA is America’s largest utility association with over 25,735 members.   Historically, NRWA’s state associations have trained over 55,000 water and wastewater system personnel each year for two decades.  They also provide over 100,000 on-site technical assistance visits a year.
