The Association holds its annual membership
meeting on the same day as the Field Day. At the
membership meeting Association business is
conducted and the Awards of Excellence are
presented. The awards recognize the
accomplishments of a water operator, a
wastewater operator, and a water or wastewater
system. These individuals and systems
demonstrate a dedication to the provision of
safe drinking
water and
protection of the environment through
persistence, innovation and hard work. Examples
of excellence include correction of a
long-standing problem, implementation of a new
or innovative idea, and proactive protection of
a drinking water source.
