INDIANAPOLIS & BARNESVILLE, GA (August 26, 2021) – 120Water and the Georgia Rural Water Association (GRWA) announced a new partnership that will expand the technical assistance and support available to GRWA 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 believe technology should be accessible and lift operational and logistical burdens on water systems,” says Jay Matthews, Executive Director of GRWA. “Upcoming regulatory changes will lead to increased expectations for compliance, and local systems in rural communities will be expected to do more with less. 120Water’s digital solutions will help our members address their toughest challenges – from building their service line inventory to removing lead and other contaminants from their systems. The GRWA team is thrilled to collaborate with the 120Water team.”

As the leading end-to-end solution for managing critical lead and drinking water programs, 120Water enables local and state governments, water systems and major facilities to manage water quality and prioritize investments that protect public health. The 120Water solution — which will be available with preferred pricing to GRWA 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 GRWA members get ahead of the curve,” said Megan Glover, co-founder and chief executive officer of 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, Director of Partnerships at 120Water.
