Show your support for USDA Rural Development by signing the pledge!

USDA Rural Development Water and Environmental Programs has consistently supported rural communities in completing necessary upgrades to their water and wastewater facilities.

WEP is instrumental in helping rural America maintain affordable water access for all rural people, and it is imperative that Rural Water’s voice and priorities are heard within the Halls of Congress and within our nation’s leadership. Through our combined thousands of rural leaders from every state, we can ensure Congress and the Trump Administration know that WEP is the trusted partner for rural America and must be maintained.

About the Conference:

MRWA’s Annual Conference is an important event for Maryland’s water and wastewater communities. It brings operations personnel, government officials, and regulatory agencies together to share in the important conversations of how to continually work to improve drinking water in Maryland.

This annual event is the highlight of each year for us as well as our members.  It provides an opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones, and engage in the critical dialogues so pivotal to the health and well-being of the residents of Maryland. We feature professional training classes, excellent speakers, a top-notch Exhibit Hall featuring over 80 exhibiting companies, and great entertainment throughout the schedule.

We host our Membership Meeting, our Awards Luncheon, Toasting the Tap Contest, Zenner Ultimate Meter Challenge, Clay Shoot and many other fun events during this conference. Every year, our conference gets bigger and better — we hope to see you in Ocean City next May!
