A Non-Profit at Your Service

A non-profit organization here to assist Oklahoma’s water and wastewater systems with day-to-day operations and management, respond to emergencies, get necessary training, and improve system sustainability.

A Strategic Alliance

The Oklahoma Strategic Alliance was ratified in 2019 by Governor Stitt, which created a partnership with the Oklahoma Secretary of Energy & Environment, Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, the Oklahoma Rural Water Association and Oklahoma Water Resources Board, shortly joined thereafter by the Oklahoma Municipal League.

Together these organizations have combined knowledge & resources to help Oklahoma’s water and wastewater systems improve their sustainability, and ensure safe, plentiful water, and a clean environment for generations to come.

Membership Focused, Membership Driven

ORWA meets members’ needs by conducting over 170 operator and board member training classes each year, reaching over 3,300 operators, managers, and board members across the state.

Leadership for Tomorrow

ORWA launched its Apprenticeship program with the goal to meet the critical need for training and capable water and wastewater operators in the state.

A Needed Voice

ORWA is the legislative voice for the Oklahoma water and wastewater utilities at the state capitol, and as a founding member of the National Rural Water Association, speaks on behalf of its member systems in Washington D.C.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Disasters can strike without warning. To provide immediate assistance, ORWA is proud to provide the SoonerWARN network, a system of formalized mutual aid linking impacted systems with resources and help to cope with extreme weather events, major line breaks and plant failures, and other crisis-level situations.
