In 1980, the USDA Farmers Home Administration, in collaboration with NRWA, established the Rural Water Circuit Rider Program. This program provides a nationwide team of drinking water professionals to provide training and technical assistance to water utility managers, boards and operations specialists. This training is designed as on-site, hands-on, activity-based training, where participants take ownership in learning how to resolve their current and future problems. The... program is designed to protect USDA Rural Development’s current water utility infrastructure investments and help them plan for a more sustainable future. The NRWA Circuit Rider Program has been largely beneficial to rural and small communities across the United States. The program continues to grow and adapt to changing circumstances, like the COVID-19 pandemic. State Rural Water Associations continue to provide this technical assistance to utilities through the Circuit Rider Program every day.
