Michigan Water Environment Association

Associations in 32 countries. Comprised of professionals who work in the water environment, MWEA and WEF are different from other water environmental groups. Our members the have hands-on responsibility for ensuring the health & safety of our water environment. Educating the public and particularly our youth is very important to MWEA. We have several programs to ensure that school-age children receive information on the water environment and how they and their parent can affect and protect that environment. Our members can provide local schools with videos and other curriculum materials to teach students about water and wastewater. Our Adopt-A-School program offers municipalities, businesses, and concerned citizens an opportunity to provide water curriculum materials to local schools. Creating awareness about careers in water and wastewater is also an important part of our community program. Through MWEA’s Speaker’s Bureau, presentations can be provided to schools and other organizations on all aspects of the water environment. MWEA also awards scholarships to students enrolled in college degree programs. Committee Opportunities
