Merging CAWPCA and CWPAA has been a large effort culminating in over 3 years worth of collaboration by volunteer membership including, municipal employees, operators, vendors, contractors and consultants throughout the wastewater community. Merging our two associations will allow us to better serve Connecticut wastewater professionals and collaborate to improve water quality. As a single, unified association, CTWEA will have the opportunity to more effectively advocate on behalf of essential workers and for infrastructure investment; host technical conferences and networking events; and share resources and promote the exchange of industry information.
