In the early years of statehood, an organization called the Arizona Public Health Association was established to address the needs of water supply and waste disposal by public and private organizations with the new state.
The primary functions of AZ Water were education and the dissemination of information for providing safe water and for the reclamation of wastewater. To this end, AZ Water established a voluntary certification program to certify the level of competence in water and sewage treatment. The certification program became a mandatory requirement of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) in 1973.
Provide value to our membership and the public through education, training, and public awareness regarding enhancement of Arizona's water and environmental resources.The AZ Water Association is the recognized advocate for enhancing Arizona's water and environmental resources.
