February 14, 2005
Contact us at 800-556-3792 Rural Water programs in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont grew tremendously over the past couple of years. They attracted more federal funding, hired more top-notch technical staff, gained unprecedented numbers of new members, and rolled out new services. Each state now boasts a crew of seven water/wastewater experts that work full-time with that state's systems and utilities. As the three independent state Rural Water organizations now grow more prominent, the time has come for the name "Northeast Rural Water Association" to fade away. Membership in NeRWA has been converted to membership in the appropriate one-state association. No disruption of service or changes in membership benefits are anticipated. People may still see "NeRWA" or "Northeast" from time to time during this transition (after all, we've been helping water and wastewater systems for 22 years under that name), but rest assured that whether you see the new or old name, you're dealing with the same folks you've gotten to know and trust. From this point forward, when you need Rural Water services, technicians, or other resources that you've come to expect, please contact the association in your state (below). Also, some staff e-mail addresses, phone numbers and other contact information have changed, so please check the appropriate website: Massachusetts Rural Water Association (MRWA)
