ZIONSVILLE, IN & ELBOW LAKE, MN (June 1, 2023) – 120Water and the Minnesota 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).

“This partnership will focus on helping water systems prepare to meet new regulatory expectations due to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s LCRR” – Lori Blair, MRWA Executive Director.

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.”

Minnesota water systems interested in learning more about this partnership, preferred pricing, and the resources available to them may contact MRWA. Other water associations interested in learning more or establishing a similar program may contact Lowell Huffman, Association Partnerships Manager at 120Water.
