The National Rural Water Association (NRWA) is a non-profit organization that supports water and wastewater professionals in small and rural communities across the United States. Established in 1976, NRWA was created in response to the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, aiming to assist small utilities in meeting EPA standards. The organization has expanded its reach to all 50 states, providing essential resources to enhance the capacity of these utilities. NRWA offers a variety of services through its affiliated State Rural Water Associations. This includes training and technical assistance for water and wastewater utilities, as well as the Circuit Rider Program, which provides on-site support from experts. Additionally, NRWA focuses on source water protection and offers financial assistance programs. The organization serves over 31,000 utility system members, primarily in communities with populations under 10,000, ensuring they have access to safe drinking water and effective wastewater services.
