Who We Are

The Chesapeake Water Environment Association is dedicated to improving water quality and protecting the water environment in Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The Association strives to do this through public education, the exchange of technical and scientific information among water quality professionals, the training of wastewater and water treatment plant operators, and by offering technical expertise and advice to the law-making and regulatory processes.


The CWEA is a Member Association
of the Water Environment Federation.


MEMBERSHIP

The membership is composed of professionals who operate and maintain wastewater treatment plants and collection systems; educators; engineers; scientists; designers, manufactures and representative of wastewater treatment equipment; and members of local, state and federal governments. Student memberships are available to those in college who plan to follow a career in water pollution control.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

 

Involvement in CWEA's Committees which include:

Biosolids and Residuals Management: This is an area which is very much in the news today. Committee members arrange seminars and symposia.

Government Affairs: Most recently, this committee set up the Chesapeake Bay Program Ad Hoc Committee. This committee has been working with government entities; organizations whose sole focus is the Bay; and industry and agriculture interests whose activities impact the Bay.

Public Education: This committee has been very active in WEF's Adopt-a-School program. In 1994-1995, the committee reached 768 students in area middle schools and educated them about water quality and the role they can play in preserving their environment.

Student Activities: Get involved with local university students and help them as they move towards a career in water quality. This committee arranges career days, outings and a student paper competition.

Other committees include Industrial Programs, Awards, By-laws, Membership, and Safety.
