    The American Water Works Association represents an alliance of the “family of five”—water utility agencies, regulatory agencies, academics, engineering consultants, and manufacturers.

  • American Water Works Association Research Foundation
    The American Water Works Association Research Foundation provides contracts for studies of problems and solutions in the water industry.

The drinking water community views AWWARF as the source of the most current and authoritative information on water treatment and supply. This recognition stems from the scientifically credible research program the foundation administers—a program that would not be possible without the voluntary contributions of water utilities, consultants, and manufacturers throughout the world.
