About - AMSA Year in Review - 2002-2003

The Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) is a national trade association representing nearly 300 of the nation’s publicly owned wastewater treatment 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.

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 clean water issues, such as wastewater infrastructure funding, security/emergency preparedness and the future of municipal wet weather control efforts.
