Welcome to New Mexico Rural Water
The New Mexico Rural Water Association (NMRWA) is a non-profit organization with over 480 water and wastewater system members, representing over 1,297,000 New Mexicans. NMRWA strives to provide the highest quality training and technical assistance and to represent the legislative and regulatory interests of our members.
Collaboration Will Equip Water Systems Across New Mexico with Resources and Tools to Comply with Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR)
ZIONSVILLE, IN & ALBUQUERQUE, NM (May 2, 2022) – 120Water and New Mexico Rural Water Association (NMRWA) announced a new partnership that will expand the technical assistance and support available to NMRWA members, with a focus on equipping systems with tools and resources to successfully manage water quality programs related to lead and other contaminants. The partnership will also include resources available to water systems as they prepare to meet new regulatory expectations due to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR).
“The new regulations regarding lead and copper will place more requirements on all water systems, and further strain the resources of small and rural water systems in particular.” said NMRWA Executive Director, Bill Conner.
As the leading end-to-end solution for managing critical lead and drinking water programs, 120Water enables local and state governments, water systems and facilities to manage water quality and prioritize investments that protect public health. The 120Water solution — which will be available with preferred pricing to NMRWA members — automates actions needed to meet compliance requirements, such as LCR, and ensures timely and transparent communication with stakeholders and the public.
“With infrastructure funding and the LCR revisions here, this is a timely partnership to help NMRWA members get ahead of the curve,” said Lowell Huffman, Director of Partnership at 120Water. “Providing water professionals with the tools to efficiently operate water quality programs will not only help them meet compliance and access funding opportunities, but to safeguard water quality and protect public health.”
New Mexico water systems interested in learning more about this partnership, preferred pricing, and the resources available to them may contact Bill Conner.
Rural water associations interested in learning more about similar partnerships may contact 120Water’s Association Partnerships Manager, Jeff Biberdorf.
