New England Water Works Association "A few people among the globe’s billions have been charged with the task of ensuring everyone else

Founded in 1882, the New England Water Works Association, Inc. (NEWWA) is the regional, independent, member-driven association that serves the drinking water profession across the six New England states (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, and VT). Headquartered in Holliston, Mass., we bring together water utilities, consultants, manufacturers, vendors, regulators, academia, and other interested parties to network, educate, and advocate. NEWWA is a not-for-profit (501c3) member organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We are accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training and hold hundreds of courses each year for those working in the water works profession. In addition, we host two major conferences and several specialty symposia annually. Built around networking, our strength is our membership who volunteer on our vast number of committees to produce products, information, and courses.

145 years of bringing water professionals together, and this year felt especially meaningful. 💙💧

At the heart of this conference are the people. The conversations, the connections, the shared experiences, and the sense of community that make the water industry so special.

One of the things that stood out this year was seeing so many young professionals in the room. Getting more YPs through the door is more than just encouraging. It is a step toward building the future of our industry and making sure the knowledge, passion, and relationships that have shaped water in New England continue for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared their knowledge, welcomed someone new, volunteered their time, and helped make this conference possible. And a special thank you to our sponsors for continuing to support this community and the work we do together!
