New Membership Renewal Process
In October 2022, AWWA introduced a new system for membership and subscription renewals and payments. The new system delivers invoices and renewal notices via email. The new process for renewing and paying provides convenient, more secure ways to pay.
You now have several options for renewing your membership. While you will continue to receive your Membership Renewal Notices through the mail, the renewal with details about payment options will be emailed to the email address on file. For organizational memberships, the renewal will be emailed to your Main Contact’s email address on file. The email will come from transactions@awwa.org. We recommend verifying that your email address is current by logging into My Account. For organizations, your Main Contact can verify their email address is current by logging into My Account. You may also contact Customer Service at 1-800-926-7337 or service@awwa.org for assistance.
The renewal includes a click-to-pay feature, so you no longer need to log into your account to renew. This feature also means the renewal can be forwarded to others for payment.
All members, including organizational members, now have the option to pay online via electronic check/ACH or credit card. Renewals will also include information on paying with a check through the mail for those who prefer doing so. All credit card payments must be made by paying online or by calling customer service.
We no longer accept credit card information through the mail now that all members have the option to pay online. This approach ensures the safety and security of credit card details.

Renewing Subscriptions and Paying Other Invoices
For members and other customers who have subscriptions to AWWA Standards, AWWA Manuals, AWWA Video Streaming, or other invoices from AWWA, the process to pay these invoices has changed. We recommend making sure your email address is correct through My Account.
Paying Your Subscription and Other Invoices
Invoices with payment information will be emailed to the email address on file. The email will come from transactions@awwa.org. Further, the invoices include a click-to-pay feature. This feature also means the invoice can be forwarded to others for payment.

Do I have to be logged into My Account to pay?
No, members and other customers will no longer need to log into My Account to pay an invoice.

Individual members do have the option to log into My Account and renew their membership there as well.
How do I pay for my Organization’s invoices?
Please check the email with your organization’s invoice and use the payment link to provide credit card or ACH payment information. Please contact the AWWA Customer Service Team at 1-800-926-7337 or service@awwa.org to request an email with a payment link.

How do I share the invoice with accounting for them to pay it?
To share the invoice with accounting or the relevant person for payment, all you will need to do is forward the email with the invoice to the right person, and they can take care of it directly from the email.

How can I renew my AWWA Membership
To renew your AWWA membership online, you will need to look for an email from transactions@awwa.org in your email inbox. The email includes an attached pdf with a “click to pay” button. If you cannot find the email, you can request a new copy by emailing transactions@awwa.org.
For individual members, you can also find the “click to pay” option under “Membership Renewal Status” in My Account.
If you prefer not to pay online, you may call Accounts Receivable at 1-800-926-7337, option 1, to pay with a credit card. Please have your order number ready when you call. You also have the option to mail in a physical check; see your renewal notice for instructions.
I renewed my membership and tried registering for my Section’s conference, but it still shows I’m not a member. Why is that?
AWWA provides Sections with new and renewed member information daily, but it may take some time before your membership status is updated at the Section level. Your membership is active during this period. If you are trying to register for a conference and still not receiving member pricing, the best thing you can do is reach out to your Section about the issue and include your emailed receipt as proof of renewal.
Why are you no longer accepting credit card payments through the mail?
At AWWA, we pride ourselves on cyber and payment security. When you write your credit card information on a piece of paper and put it in the mail, the chances of fraudulent charges or identity theft significantly increase. When you pay online, only you and your computer know the credit card number. Online payments are also processed immediately, which means you will start receiving your AWWA membership benefits in minutes, not days!
