The Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Award recognizes the association that has achieved the extra measure of excellence in training and assistance to their utility membership.  TTA has always been the cornerstone for Alabama Rural Water Association.  Through conferences and extensive training schedules, Alabama provides training and technical assistance to rural and small systems from the Gulf of Mexico to the top of outer boundaries of Alabama.

The Alabama Rural Water Association is a non-profit organization representing water and wastewater systems serving rural communities and towns and those commercial firms, which support these systems.  The purpose of the Association is to provide assistance to  systems in complying with State and Federal regulations, to help them with management and operational problems and to provide or stimulate training initiatives, which will promote personnel development and efficiency.

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 24,558 members.
