What does more than 50 years of partnership look like? It looks like utilities coming together to tackle the sector's biggest challenges, amplify their collective voice and create lasting impact for the communities they serve.

As a founding member of NACWA, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District has helped shape the direction of our association—and, in turn, the future of clean water. Their leadership is a powerful reminder that NACWA membership is more than access to resources and events. It's an opportunity to influence national conversations, build lasting relationships and strengthen the entire sector.

We're proud to celebrate NEORSD's enduring partnership and the progress we've achieved together.
