Veteran leaders of the drinking water industry have contributed to AWWA's vast store of knowledge. The AWWA Training Services Group, staffed by many of these veterans, brings that experience and knowledge together to provide value to water operators via webinars, distance learning, and on‐site courses.

The Town of Surf City, N.C., is located on Topsail Island, a barrier island situated south of the Outer Banks. Its clean and uncrowded public beaches, family‐friendly atmosphere, wide range of amenities and services, and mild climate make the town a wonderful place to live and a popular destination for vacationers. The town recently implemented advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) technology to modernize—and futureproof—its water system.
