Discover the Power of AWWA Small System Membership
AWWA believes that our small systems are vital to protecting public health and deserve to feel empowered to provide communities with safe and clean water. That is why, since 1881, we have been providing utilities with knowledge, guidance, and a great peer network.
This membership is designed to support utilities with 5,000 or fewer service connections, including water/wastewater systems, rural community water utilities, water reuse organizations, stormwater treatment and/or collection facilities, and contract operations firms.
