Hay and Parnell Honored for Years of Dedication to Rural Water


National Rural Water Association is pleased to announce that Ken Hay, former EPA Program Manager over NRWA programs and Bill Parnell, recently retired, NRWA Program Manager were honored for their years of dedication to the rural water family.

Hay received a custom plaque from rural water.  The walnut wood was laser engraved with a map of the United States.  Then a collector’s pin from each state association was attached to make it a one of a kind gift. 

Parnell’s recognition award was a beautiful wall plaque featuring the NRWA Logo and an inscription saying ”In appreciation for your dedicated career and outstanding contributions to Rural Water in America.” 

Both men have dedicated the majority of their lives to improving the environment and furthering the cause of rural.  They will be sorely missed.

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.
