Receives Website of the Year!



National Rural Water Association is pleased to announce that Alabama Rural Water Association is the recipient of the Excellence in Websites Award presented during NRWA’s Annual Tribute to Excellence Awards Ceremony held in Biloxi, Mississippi October 13.

Websites help build the public and professional image of associations.  They are a great way to share the service and benefits of these association’s to a wider audience while enhancing communications with targeted membership.  Additionally, they fill a critical need for utility membership networking and provide information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Sites are judged on originality, ease of use, timeliness of updates, information provided, overall design and appearance.
