AMWUA’s members collectively provide water to over 3.7 million people and to the businesses critical to Arizona’s economy. For over 50 years, AMWUA has worked with its members on water resources and policy issues and advocated on behalf of its members on legislation and administrative rules and policies.

- Advising on legal implications of proposed water legislation, policies, and rules.
- Advising on Arizona Open Meeting Laws issues.
- Advising on operational legal issues of a non-profit corporation.

If you are interested in providing these services, please submit a letter of interest that includes the following information:
- Your experience with Arizona water law, the Arizona Open Meeting Law, and non-profit corporations.
