FAQ
Membership questions
Who can join as a Water Treatment Company (WTC)?
Water treatment companies with 500 or fewer employees in their water treatment division. Companies that grow beyond 500 employees are offered sustaining membership; no company larger than that can join outright.
What is the difference between individual and company membership?
Company membership provides benefits to all employees at a qualified water treatment company. Individual membership only extends to the person who purchased it. If your company qualifies for WTC membership, AWT strongly encourages joining as a company since it provides more value per person.
I work for a company above the 500-employee threshold. Can I join?
Yes — AWT created the individual membership category for those who wish to participate as a member.
Can I share an individual membership?
No. Benefits for an individual extend to that individual only.
Who do I contact with membership questions?
Email awt@awt.org or help@awt.org.
