Alabama Rural Water Association
Share
The Alabama Rural Water Association is a non-profit organization representing water and wastewater systems serving public communities and towns and those commercial firms which support these systems. The purpose of the Association is to provide assistance to these systems in complying with State and Federal regulations, to help them with management and operational problems and to provide or stimulate training initiatives which will promote personnel development and efficiency.
Reliable water systems don't happen by accident. They are built through investment, partnership, and long-term support for the communities that depend on them every day.
For more than 40 years, leaders like Grady Parsons have seen firsthand the impact that programs such as USDA-RD have on rural water systems across Alabama. Supporting rural water means supporting public health, economic growth, and stronger communities for generations to come.

The future of rural water depends on building a strong workforce today.
ARWA’s Apprenticeship Program helps prepare the next generation of water and wastewater professionals through hands-on training, mentorship, classroom instruction, and real-world experience.
As workforce shortages continue to impact utilities nationwide, apprenticeship programs play an important role in developing skilled operators who will help maintain infrastructure, protect public health, and serve communities for years to come.
A career in the water industry offers opportunities for growth, meaningful work, and the chance to make a lasting impact every day.
