ZIONSVILLE, IN & Glenwood, MD (September 11, 2023) – 120Water and the Maryland Rural Water Association (MRWA) announced a new partnership that will expand the technical assistance and support available to MRWA 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 increase the 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 Maryland Rural Water Association has received numerous inquiries from systems throughout the state regarding the EPA’s LCRR and, more specifically, the LSLI. We are delighted to partner with 120Water in order to provide our Maryland towns and municipalities the next level resources they need to assist them with this important effort.” – Sue Houghton, MRWA Executive Director & CEO

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 MRWA members — automates actions needed to meet compliance requirements, such as LCR, and ensures timely and transparent communication with stakeholders and the public.

“With an LCRR Compliance deadline in 2024 and numerous infrastructure funding opportunities available now, this is a timely partnership to help MRWA and their members,” 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.”

Other water associations interested in learning more or establishing a similar program may contact Lowell Huffman, Association Partnerships Manager at 120Water.
