Welcome!
                          "Individually, we are one drop. But together, we are an ocean.
                                 By working together anything can be achieved."

With hundreds of years of experience in one place, we hope you benefit from the time provided to catch up with
           friends & colleagues, and meet with over 130 companies in the ocean of our industry.

     This year, we have OVER 70 classes for water, wastewater, source water protection and management
professionals. Once again, you will see certain classes are offered twice during Conference. This will give more
 opportunity for students to attend the more popular classes. We hope that you enjoy this year’s conference.
                 Please stop by the registration & help desk with any questions you may have.

On behalf of our Staff and Board of Directors, welcome to Pennsylvania Rural Water Association’s 31st Annual
                            Conference! We are happy that you are able to join us.
