Rural Water Day: Almost 200 TRWA members and staff participated in Rural Water Day on March 27, visiting all 181 members of the Texas House and Senate to speak for our priority legislation and against bills of concern. TRWA was also recognized with a special resolution on the floor of both chambers to commemorate its 50th Anniversary as an organization. Special thanks to Sen. Judith Zaffirini and Rep. Eddie Lucio, III for sponsoring those resolutions!

Engage Your Board and Customers in our Legislative Efforts

TRWA members provide quality water service to almost 3 million Texans, and lawmakers need to hear from them on our legislative priorities and bills of concern.  You can help us mobilize your customer base in support of rural water in the following ways: 
  • Forward each week’s Capitol Pipeline to your system’s email list and provide your customers with a link to the newsletter on the front page of your website.
     
  • Link to www.waterforalltexans.com on your system’s website to help educate your customers on our issues and encourage them to contact their legislators.
     
  • Ask your board members and customers to let us know if they are a member of Farm Bureau, a major opponent of rural water on groundwater permitting issues. We would like to work cooperatively with them for the benefit of Rural Texans! For more information, direct customers to our blog post. 
     
  • Disseminate TRWA’s legislator contact guides (linked below) to provide your customers with sample talking points for phone calls, sample email language, and contact information for key legislators.
