New for 2019, the Pacific Northwest Section of the American Water Works Association has adopted a Division structure. What does this mean? It means that all committees are now structured under a Division, which is spearheaded by a member of the PNWS-AWWA Board of Trustees.

Below is a list of Divisions and the Trustee liaison to that division. Click on the Division to learn more about the Committees that fall under each division
