leading the way in the support of its members.
As an association, Florida has expanded
their member services beyond the utility function to create partnerships
between rural utilities and economic rural development. Their
outstanding member dedication became apparent during the 2004 hurricane
season when Florida was struck four different times. On each occasion,
FRWA, was on the scene helping systems to reestablish power. Their
quick response and dedication to service makes them a recognized leader
in disaster response.

including: leak detection, meter testing, line location, Consumer
Confidence Reports, wellhead protection programs, water and wastewater
training classes, plant operations, and other specialty areas.
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

Associations. Its mission:
