About - AMSA Year in Review - 2001-2002AMSA logo

The Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) is a national trade association representing nearly 300 of the nation’s publicly owned wastewater utilities. AMSA members serve the majority of the sewered population in the United States and collectively treat and reclaim over 18 billion gallons of wastewater every day. AMSA members are environmental practitioners dedicated to protecting and improving the nation’s waters and public health. Key to this effort is ensuring federal funding for upgrades to water infrastructure. As such AMSA is a founding member of the Water Infrastructure Network (WIN).

Long recognized as a key water quality resource, AMSA maintains an integral role in the development of scientifically sound, cost-effective and environmentally friendly policies affecting the wastewater treatment community. The Environmental Protection Agency, Congress, states and industry frequently look to AMSA for technical insight on a wide range of clean water issues.

Today’s increasingly complex threats to the nation’s water quality present many legislative and regulatory challenges to the wastewater treatment industry. AMSA engages policy makers on the national level on priority issues, such as the development of enforceable nonpoint source controls, wastewater infrastructure and security funding and the future of municipal wet weather control efforts.
