The Association of Clean Water Administrators (ACWA) is a small, national, nonpartisan professional organization based in Washington, DC. Founded in 1961, it brings together state, interstate, and territorial officials responsible for implementing surface water protection programs and serves as a conduit to the federal government while promoting public education on water quality. ACWA positions itself as the national voice for these programs, advocating for their concerns and priorities. It aims to facilitate technical and policy innovation through collaboration across jurisdictions and to promote sound public policy. A notable development from 2021 is a partnership with the National Association of Clean Water Agencies to host a pretreatment-focused virtual event.
