Rural Water Strong: Supporting the People Behind the Pipes
USDA Rural Development’s Water and Environmental Programs (WEP) play a vital role in helping rural communities upgrade and maintain affordable water and wastewater systems. These programs provide essential funding, training, and technical assistance that keep small systems running.
While aging infrastructure and funding gaps are a must have conversation, another challenge is unfolding in rural water systems: a shrinking workforce. Most rural utilities serve small communities and operate with just one or two employees, and nearly half of these professionals are nearing retirement. Technology can help, but it can’t replace the skilled hands and local knowledge that keep water flowing.
That’s why the Rural Water Strong Campaign, launched by the National Rural Water Association, matters. It raises awareness for USDA Rural Development Programs that provide essential funding, training, and technical assistance to rural water systems. These programs are critical to maintaining affordable, reliable water access, and to preparing the next generation of water professionals.
NCRWA proudly supports this campaign and its mission to ensure rural voices are heard, rural systems are strengthened, and rural communities continue to thrive.

Building Capacity for Water Security: The North Carolina Rural Water Association
The North Carolina Rural Water Association (NCRWA) plays a crucial role in supporting rural utilities throughout NC by providing indispensable technical support, training opportunities, and networking events. To further enhance their services, the Nicholas Institute Water Policy Program's Internet of Water (IoW) team and the Lincoln Institute Center for Geospatial Solutions' IoW Initiative have joined forces with NCRWA. Together, they have collaborated to develop and pilot a tool called BoundarySync. This tool empowers rural water utilities to efficiently create and manage their digital service area boundaries.
