We Advocate for You!

GSRWA follows issues that pertain to the water industry at the both the federal and state levels. We advocate on behalf of our members. Our primary focus is ensuring funding for utilities. Members receive timely action alerts when legislators need to hear from their constituents. Your voice makes all the difference!

Rural Water Rally

Every February members from Rural Water state associations, including Granite State Rural Water Association, head to Washington, DC to attend the National Rural Water Association Rally. The Rural Water Rally provides an opportunity to make our case directly with our elected officials. We schedule meetings to meet with New Hampshire’s Representatives, Senators and their staff, so that we can share the Rural Water success story, answer questions and build important relationships. Attending the Rural Water Rally also provides a unique opportunity to meet with other association leaders and watch the Great American Water Taste Test in person.

If you can’t be there in person, write a letter! Download a template here.

Our greatest tool is sharing stories about how Granite State Rural Water Association staff have assisted you. These stories are proof that Rural Water operates effective programs that help water and wastewater utilities. Submit this letter to GSRWA so that we may share your story during our meetings with elected officials.
