Fleet Program
The National Rural Water Association has created partnerships with the Ford Motor Company and the Chrysler Group to offer special fleet discounts to State Rural Water Associations and their utility system members. This partnership combines the buying power of 31,000 utility members to provide reduced fleet pricing on utility vehicles. The Rural Water Fleet Program is a valuable member benefit for water and wastewater utilities. State Rural Water Associations determine eligibility for their utility members, and provide a fleet code that allows access to substantial vehicle discounts to fill the need for reliable work vehicles. Companies, service providers or other sales organizations DO NOT QUALIFY for these benefits. Member utilities should contact their State Rural Water Association to access the Rural Water Fleet Program. Vehicles may be purchased at your local dealer or through the national fleet auto group at http://www.nrwafleet.com/. Incentive discount pricing is available on fuel efficient cars, vans, SUVs and trucks. Systems can save up to $5,800 off factory invoice per vehicle. Happy shopping!
Quality on Tap!
Quality On Tap – Our Commitment, Our Profession is a nationwide, grassroots public relations and awareness campaign designed especially for the drinking water industry. QOT is intended to promote a positive image to the public, focusing on the safety of drinking water and the expertise of the technical professional who ensure water quality. Lyons QOT Water Tower Americans often take for granted that they have the highest quality, most affordable, water piped directly to their homes and businesses. This level of quality is accomplished because of dedicated professionals that take pride in their hard work, their education, and their service to the community. Quality On Tap! was created in 1996 as the first practical, hands-on guide to better public relations for water utilities. It contains the tools small water systems need to do the most important job of all – spreading the truth to the public of the quality of work they do and the quality water they produce. As communities nationwide use the QOT logo and materials to promote their own quality water, they are also promoting the quality water of each system that participates in this nationwide campaign.
