More than a dozen NOWRA members traveled to Washington, D.C., June 14-15, 2016, to participate in the association’s Legislative Fly-In, and made significant progress in advancing its advocacy goals.
The most significant achievement that arose from more than three dozen visits to congressional and federal agency offices was securing a bipartisan commitment to establish a Decentralized Wastewater Caucus. Further, two members of the influential House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Water Resources and the Environment immediately committed to joining the caucus during NOWRA members’ visits with them.
