Awards Materials Available Only Online Beginning July 2008

In our continuing efforts to save paper, time, and other resources, all awards materials are now available exclusively online for download. All CWEA local section and committee leaders will be notified of this change via email, and by regular mail. Please contact us at mls@cwea.org or 510-382-7800 x114 if you need any assistance finding or downloading a nomination form.

There are over 20 categories for CWEA awards, which honor CWEA members and wastewater professionals in California. The program serves to recognize outstanding professional achievements within the wastewater field, improve the professional status of all personnel working in the wastewater industry and related fields, and stimulate public awareness of the importance of wastewater treatment to public health and the water environment.

Awards are given at the local section level, and then advance to state competition.  Nomination forms are available online starting July 1st  using the link below or by contacting CWEA staff at (510) 382-7800.

CWEA will forward any State winners in similar award categories at the WEF level to WEF by April 1st.

The timeline for CWEA State Awards is as follows:

  • July 1: Awards forms are posted to the website with links sent to the Local Section Leaders.

  • 3rd Friday of January: Awards are sent to the state committee chairs for judging.
