About NMRWA
New Mexico Rural Water Association (NMRWA) provides top quality, responsive technical assistance, and training for rural water and wastewater systems in New Mexico. The NMRWA has system members collectively serving water to over 460,000 persons throughout New Mexico. The general membership is made up of mutual domestic water associations, municipal government water utilities, community water cooperatives, public water and wastewater sanitation districts, and nonprofit water utility organizations in the State. The Association is governed by a twenty-four person Board of Directors, elected from systems throughout New Mexico.
The programs and services of the New Mexico Rural Water Association are implemented by a team of highly-experienced professionals, who provide on-site assistance, training, and troubleshooting support to the operators, board members, and managers in charge of water and wastewater systems in rural communities throughout the State. The Association is funded by membership fees and our key funding partners: USDA Rural Development and the US Environmental Protection Agency.
The strength of the New Mexico Rural Water Association lies equally in our commitment to being responsive to the needs of the many community water and wastewater systems in New Mexico, and in the grassroots support of those member systems. The primary focus of our programs is to develop the capacity of small public water and wastewater systems so that they may provide quality, consistent services to rural families. Our members play an active role in protecting public health and the enviroment every day.
