Membership Benefits

The Washington State Ground Water Association is a trade association of people like you who have increased their ability to successfully meet business challenges by joining together. WSGWA is dedicated to the logical and orderly development, use, and conservation of the state’s ground water. We were successful in helping to initiate legislative action to license drilling contractors as a step toward optimum construction of wells as one of many protective measures to safeguard what may be the states most valuable natural resource, our ground water.

Experts agree that while all sizes of business receive benefits from their membership dues, many more benefits will be derived by joining together to successfully meet the challenge, Protection of Our Ground Water.

Founding Principles In 1947 our founders set down these ideas as the backbone of our association:
•	To bring Washington’s well drilling contractors into a relationship of mutual helpfulness and cooperation.
•	To collect from and disseminate to its members information and ideas promoting their general welfare.
•	To put the well drilling business in the state of Washington on a scientific and efficient business basis.

National Affiliation

Washington State Ground Water Association is an affiliate member of the National Ground Water Association (NGWA). A vital link for the WSGWA. The NGWA program provides services and products, industry support, and communication with the goal of strengthening the relationship and its impact on the ground water industry.

Persons in the ground water industry may belong to both the Washington State Ground Water Association and the national association, or they may belong only to their state association or only to the national association.

Why Join WSGWA?

Among nature’s substances, only water, properly used, amortizes its own cost and creates new wealth along the way. Said simply, nothing, including civilization, starts or continues without water. We need one another to assure its preservation for the present and future generations.
