Intermountain Section AWWA

The Intermountain Section of the American Water Works Association (AWWA) manages all AWWA initiatives covering Utah and southern Idaho. The AWWA is an international, nonprofit, scientific and educational society dedicated to providing total water solutions assuring the effective management of water. Founded in 1881, the Association is the largest organization of water supply professionals in the world. National membership includes over 4,000 utilities that supply roughly 80 percent of the nation's drinking water and treat almost half of the nation’s wastewater. Our more than 50,000 memberships represent the full spectrum of the water community: public water and wastewater systems, environmental advocates, scientists, academicians, and others who hold a genuine interest in water, our most important resource. AWWA also takes great pride in helping establish two preeminent organizations dedicated to safe water, the Water Research Foundation in 1966 and Water For People in 1991. AWWA unites the diverse water community to advance public health, safety, the economy, and the environment.
