Alaska Water Wastewater Management Association (AWWMA) works to provide opportunities that bring knowledge, expertise, and technology to water and wastewater industry professionals in Alaska. Our conferences and workshops are attended by a diverse group of professionals from large and small utilities, and the professionals that operate, educate, and regulate them. Our organization is governed by a Board of Directors and driven by Committees - a team of volunteers dedicated to the water and wastewater profession in an effort to provide Clean, Safe Water for Alaska. 

What's happening in Alaska

AKWARN

Water and Wastewater Agency Response Networks (WARN) are a network of utilities helping other utilities to respond to and recover from emergencies. While the WARN initiative is coordinated by American Water Works Association (AWWA), WARNs are organized on a state by state basis and are managed by the utilities themselves. Thirty-four states have established a WARN, and Alaska is currently working towards the development of AKWARN.
