Wyoming Association of Rural Water Systems

• On-site, one-on-one technical assistance & support for rural water and wastewater systems — including staffing by circuit riders who travel the state to help public water systems with operations, maintenance, troubleshooting, compliance, etc.

• Training and certification/continuing education courses for water and wastewater operators, as well as governance/management training for system managers and community officials — to help meet licensure and regulatory compliance (e.g. under the Safe Drinking Water Act)

• Information dissemination and regulatory guidance, helping systems understand current standards, regulatory changes (e.g. water quality regulations), and compliance obligations, especially when state or federal resources are limited.

• Support for financial and governance aspects of small and rural water/wastewater systems — assisting elected officials and system managers with budgeting, governance, and administrative issues.

• Facilitation of member services, coordination and advocacy via being a member-driven nonprofit association (affiliated with National Rural Water Association) to represent and support nearly all small and rural water/wastewater providers across Wyoming.
