The Ohio Rural Water Association won the NRWA's 2018 award for
Outstanding Achievement in Technical Assistance.

"I just want to thank the United States Department of Agriculture for funding our Circuit Rider program over the years, the Ohio Water Development Authority for providing us with the necessary resources to assist our public System Members with their Asset Management Planning and implementation, the ORWA Board of Directors for volunteering their time, leadership, and guidance towards the betterment of the Association, our dedicated and hardworking staff of expert technicians, and last but certainly not least all of our Members for trusting us to be your advocates. This award would not have been possible without all their support. I hope this award will help rejuvenate our Association, and be a sign of more good things to come."

-Joseph Pheil, ORWA Executive Director
