INDIANAPOLIS & BUENA VISTA, VA (September 22, 2021) – 120Water and the Virginia Rural Water Association (VRWA) announced a new partnership that will expand the technical assistance and support available to VRWA 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 expand 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).

“We are excited to be collaborating with 120 Water. This new partnership will allow us to work alongside industry LCRR experts to provide even more support to water professionals throughout Virginia,” said Mike Ritchie, VRWA 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 VRWA members — automates actions needed to meet compliance requirements, such as LCR, and ensures timely and transparent communication with stakeholders and the public. 

“With potential infrastructure funding and LCR revisions on the horizon, this is a timely partnership to help VRWA members get ahead of the curve,” 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.”
