Invest in a Stronger Water Future for New York State 

Join the New York Water Environment Association's (NYWEA) Operation SOS: Support Operator Scholarships to ensure that the state's water operators have the resources they need to succeed and make a difference in our communities. They are the unsung heroes that keep our water flowing every day.

Your contribution will help fund the Lucy Grassano and Brain Romeiser Scholarships, which are integral to providing training and professional development for the operators who oversee our limited water resources.
