In 1915 leaders in State Department of Health recognized the importance of providing a means for professionals in the emerging sewage treatment industry to come together to share in the latest scientific findings and newest technologies. To accomplish that goal a new organization was created, The NJ Sewerage Works Association charged with the responsibility of expanding and sharing knowledge about water quality and wastewater treatment. Today the NJWEA and its members serve as leaders in the effort to preserve water quality, remediate historically contaminated sites, help industry to manage their water processes in a sustainable manner and educate the public on water quality issues.
