The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has more than 60,000 members representing every part of the water profession, and is the largest association of water professionals in the world. Our community connects the utilities that provide safe water throughout the world, manufacturers and consultants that bring top products, expertise and knowledge to their customers, and professionals who make a difference every day on the job.
As a member, you also belong to your local section, which offers additional membership value specific to your region. The West Viginia Section is a community. Through involvement in the WV-AWWA, water professionals can take advantage of local educational programs, network with peers, influence state or provincial legislation and regulations, and participate in the local and international organization.
With access to information, education, and network opportunities, membership in the AWWA helps you discover your potential. As an AWWA member, you’ll join a community of 60,000 other water professionals committed to protecting public health and water resources for future generations.
