为了更好地帮助小型供水系统遵守日益严格的饮用水法规，AWWA建立了一个小型系统项目，作为技术和专业活动部的一个组成部分。所有协会协助小型系统的努力都已在该项目中得到巩固，该项目的主要目标是与州监管机构和其他协助小型系统的组织合作，通过部门层面的信息传播和技术援助开展外联教育。 最近外部资金的注入使这个刚刚起步的小型系统项目变成了一个30万美元的项目。

To better help small water systems comply with increasingly stringent drinking water regulations, AWWA has established a Small Systems Program as a component of the Technical and Professional Activities Department. All association efforts to assist small systems have been consolidated within the program, the primary objective of which is outreach education through information dissemination and technical assistance at the section level, in cooperation with state regulatory agencies and other organizations assisting small systems. Recent infusions of outside funds have made the fledgling Small Systems Program into a $300,000 operation.
