Membership Drive Underway

At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors in Kansas City, ADWA recapped the organizational success we have had and elected to move forward with implementing our strategic plan.  The first order of business is to reach out to the rest of the companies who have wastewater treatment devices certified by ANSI/NSF Standard 40 with invitations to join as Full Members.  All have been contacted and we look forward to every eligible company to join and help us with our efforts to be the advocate for this segment of the industry.  In addition, the Associate Member mailing was sent to a select list of vendors and manufacturers that supply parts and technology for the certified companies and to the decentralized wastewater industry.  

Working together, leaders of the decentralized wastewater industry can make a difference and expand the acceptance of new technologies in the market through research, education and lobbying efforts.
