The West Virginia Water Environment Association is an affiliate of the national Water Environment Federation. The state organization received its charter from the federation in 1947. There are currently over 250 members in the state. Our membership is comprised of engineers, regulatory agency personnel, equipment suppliers, managers, and operators of wastewater treatment works. The major function of the Association is to assist and educate our membership in matters related to the wastewater industry by sponsoring classes throughout the state and by helping our members in all areas of the operations of their facilities.
