The
West Virginia Rural Water
Association (WVRWA) was created in 1985 to provide technical assistance
and
training to the small water systems of West Virginia. Our programs
consist of a Wastewater program, two EPA programs, a FSA Sourcewater
Program and three Water Circuit Rider programs. In 1998,
a training
specialist joined the WVRWA staff through what is now known as the Hours
for
Education and Learning Program (H.E.L.P.). A program for wastewater
classroom
training was added in July of 1999. WVRWA now has ten
professionals working in the field providing on-site assistance to small
public
water and wastewater systems and non-community water systems. In
addition to the
field staff, our office is staffed with an executive director,
bookkeeper,
secretary/receptionist, and an information technology specialist.
