About Us

The Alliance of Indiana Rural Water is a non-profit membership association of over 1,000 water and wastewater systems and related professionals. It is Indiana's ONLY representative to the National Rural Water Association (NRWA), the nation's largest utility association with 31,000 members. Our affiliation with NRWA provides the only cohesive voice representing water and wastewater systems, and together, we are leading the way in rural water legislation.

 Our Services

Could your system use an expert to help track down problems or potential savings?  Especially if you are on a tight budget, you should invest in the Alliance; a safety net of experienced technicians providing effective solutions.  The Alliance provides FREE training and onsite technical assistance on Safe Drinking Water Act compliance issues, public health protection (as it relates to drinking water and wastewater), managerial issues, financial issues and operational issues to water and wastewater systems in Indiana that serve populations of less than 10,000 people.  Our free training and technical assistance is available thanks to grants from the US Environmental Protection Agency and USDA Rural Development.  We are also funded by our membership.
