A Message from the Executive Director

On behalf of the Louisiana Rural Water Association staff and Board of Directors, we are pleased to present to you our 22nd edition of the Louisiana Rural Water Association Membership Directory & Resource Guide. It is our intention to provide all our members with the most up-to-date information on Louisiana’s water and wastewater systems as well as the products and services of our Associate Members.

Louisiana Rural Water Association continues to increase the number of programs and services we provide to our members.

Our newest program is the EPA Training and Technical Assistance for Wastewater Treatment Works, awarded through the National Rural Water Association and Environmental Protection Agency. This program will provide Sustainable Utility Management Plan (SMAP) assistance for rural, small, and tribal publicly owned treatment works and decentralized wastewater treatment systems. Also, we plan to add a Sustainable Technical Assistance program for rural wastewater utilities across the state, funded through the Department of Environmental Quality.

We stand behind our mission statement, “LRWA provides our water and wastewater utility members with the highest quality of leadership, representation, support services, and Emergency Response services in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.”

Our dedicated staff travels over 500,000 miles a year in Louisiana providing technical assistance to utility system personnel on the daily operations of their systems. LRWA trains more than 4,000 operators a year and provides more than 7,000 on-site visits per year to the water and wastewater systems in the state.

The Resources Tab in this directory includes valuable information, such as a listing of the Louisiana United States Senators and Congressman, Louisiana Senators and Representatives, Louisiana Department of Health, USDA Rural Development, and an EPA Quick Reference Guide.

We greatly appreciate our advertisers for making the Directory possible, and we encourage you to show your patronage to all advertisers listed within.

Sincerely,

Patrick Credeur Executive Director
