||
WHEREAS, The Texas Rural Water Association is holding its | ||
44th annual convention in Austin from March 20 through March 22, | ||
2013, and convention participants, including Doug Anderton, | ||
president of the board of the National Rural Water Association, are | ||
gathering at the State Capitol on March 20 to celebrate Rural Water | ||
Day; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 1969, the Texas Rural Water | ||
Association is a statewide trade organization with an active | ||
membership of more than 740 nonprofit water supply corporations, | ||
small-town water departments, special utility districts, municipal | ||
utility districts, investor-owned utilities, and individual | ||
members that serve approximately 2.5 million people; and | ||
WHEREAS, TRWA is dedicated to helping directors, managers, | ||
and operators provide efficient service and clean, safe drinking | ||
water; it also encourages education and information exchange, | ||
offers member support services, and handles legislative and | ||
regulatory representation; moreover, the association advocates | ||
reasonable, practical, and affordable rules regarding rural and | ||
small water and wastewater systems; and | ||
WHEREAS, Access to safe and affordable water and wastewater | ||
systems is vital for the well-being and success of Texans living in | ||
all parts of the Lone Star State, and Rural Water Day provides a | ||
fitting opportunity to commend TRWA and its members for their | ||
commitment to this critical issue; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize March 20, 2013, as Rural Water Day at | ||
the State Capitol and extend to members of the Texas Rural Water | ||
Association sincere best wishes for a memorable and meaningful | ||
annual convention. | ||
