The Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) is the professional Association serving state drinking water programs. Formed in 1984 to address a growing need for state administrators to have national representation, ASDWA has become a respected voice for state primacy agents with Congress, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other professional organizations.
Elevating Drinking Water as a National Priority
One of the most important roles ASDWA has is to make sure no one stops thinking about water. Whether that means spending time on the Hill to speak with Congressional staff about drinking water issues, or expanding the reach of our communications to the public by way of social media, ASDWA is constantly working to advance our message of public health protection on behalf of our members. Having safe drinking water is taken for granted by many, so ASDWA continually emphasizes drinking water’s importance for public health and for the economy.

Slide Deck: Research Priorities to Help Reduce Drinking Water Violations
Webinar Presentations:
Alan Roberson, ASDWA’s Executive Director, will summarize some of his past drinking water policy research when working at the American Water Works Association and will pose some water policy research questions that might help with the development of new regulations and/or reduce violations.
Dr. Maura Allaire, with the Department of Urban Planning and Public Policy at the University of California at Irvine, will summarize her recent study on “National Trends in Drinking Water Violations” that evaluates spatial and temporal patterns in health-related violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act using a panel dataset of 17,900 community water systems over the period 1982–2015. The paper identifies vulnerability factors, increasing time trends, and violation hot spots, which can allow for public policies that target underperforming water systems and strategies for improving national drinking water quality.
