PNCWA Government Affairs Committee members at the 2018 Fly-in

PNCWA members reported "Messaging has focused on positive funding opportunity but somewhat daunting demands.   Professional congressional staff were clear that our efforts have lead to major water funding increases and inclusion of water in the infrastructure bills.  The EPA described several areas of focus that will influence our industry over the next year." Pictured L-R are John Beacham (City of Post Falls), Caitlin Hubbard (Lake Stevens Sewer District and NWWOS president), Bob Baumgartner (Clean Water Services), and Mike Ollivant (Parametrix).

The Government Affairs Committee (GAC) keeps abreast of regulations and proposed legislation and guidelines related to clean water industry challenges, regulatory policies, and funding opportunities  and has supported committee members to take part in WaterWeek, where one person from each state meets with their members of Congress and/or their staff in Washington D.C. and share with them the Water Quality priorities for WEF-PNCWA members.
