Welcome to MontanaWater.org! 

This website is a partnership between the Montana Section of the American Water Works Association and the Montana Water Environment Association.  The website is intended to provide users with information about these two organizations at the state level, as well as links to information available on both national organization websites at awwa.org and wef.org.  Feel free to email questions or comments to info@montanawater.org.

Thank you for visiting and please check back regularly for updated information!

Important Info:

MEMBERS PLEASE READ! As phishing attempts and cybersecurity threats continue to rise, your work email accounts become harder to deliver messages to because your IT departments are trying to protect company servers.  MANY of you do not receive messages that I send through Constant Contact (contact management program used to send mass emails that go out to both memberships) because they are blocked.  You are not receiving important information about organization business and the Joint Conference because of this.  If this is of concern to you, please check with your IT department about it and add “info@montanawater.org” to your safe senders list.  Otherwise, the information for the most part is posted on this website. Feel free to contact Robin Barnes at info@montanawater.org for more information.

Student and Young Professional (S&YP) committee involvement with AWWA and WEF turned the idea of getting an ideal job from vision into reality.  Evolving from the Student to Young Professional, the S&YP committee provides a network connection to peers, events, and opportunities to become involved in the water and wastewater fields.
