Why Should You Join IAWA?
The Illinois Association of Wastewater Agencies (IAWA) is the voice of wastewater agencies in the State of Illinois.
IAWA is where the action is! Every member actively participates through the forum provided by our Association. Your voice is heard! Collectively we take action on issues of mutual interest and concern, and our record has been both productive and successful.
Over the last 30 years, our Association has positively impacted the Legislature, rule-making, and enforcement agencies, to the point that our Association is asked to provide them information and participate with them on issues of mutual interest to the wastewater industries.
If you are not a member of IAWA, you are missing the opportunity to learn and contribute to your field.
