Nothing is more important than clean, safe, affordable water and Rural Water's initiatives are the most effective!  Your effort and system's representation at the Rally is critical to ensuring that RUS loan and grant monies remain available to build, extend and upgrade the nation's rural and small water and wastewater systems.

Protecting ground water and source water, effective training and "on-site" assistance are all powerful initiatives that deliver results to thousands of rural and small communities.  Small utility systems must pull together at the grassroots level to achieve efficient environmental progress.

Funding from Congress allows the Rural Water network of state rural water associations to better serve each state's small and rural utilities.  Your voice in Washington, D.C. is important in educating Congress on the needs of rural systems and the success your Rural Water Association has helped you achieve! 

Plan now to attend the Rural Water Rally and join rural water family from around the country at our Rally Headquarters, the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.  All Rally meetings and functions will take place at the Hyatt, just a short distance from the Capitol.

Make sure you include the Sunday evening Welcome Social in your Rally plans!  This is a great time to see all of your friends in the rural water family and even make some new ones. Whether you're sharing stories of the past year or strategies for the Hill, the Welcome Social is the place to start your Rally.

After spending Tuesday visiting your Senate and Congressional members about the issues affecting the rural water industry, unwind at the Tuesday evening reception from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Another round of delicious hor d'oeuvres and friendly conversation is a great way to end your work on the Hill and start a relaxing evening in our nation's capitol.
