WASHINGTON DC FLY-IN AND WATER RALLY
     Pennsylvania Rural Water Association works hard to bring federal tax dollars back to Pennsylvania to support rural water and wastewater utilities. The Veteran’s Affairs and Housing and Urban Development Bill under the Environmental Protection Agency finance rural water training and technical assistance and the groundwater protection program. The United States Department of Agriculture Bill finance the circuit rider and source water protection programs, as well as funding rural water loans and grants. PRWA, together with all rural water associations in the country, lobby Congress for the appropriation levels that make USDA loans and grants directly available to small systems as well as allow PRWA to continue and improve our programs to serve rural water systems in Pennsylvania.
     While in Washington DC PRWA also participates in the “Great American Water Taste Test” at the NRWA Water Rally annually. The winner of the PRWA “Pride of Pennsylvania” contest at our annual conference is taken to Washington DC every year to compete.  Bring your water and let's win in Washington DC!
