About the company
Texas Rural Water Association, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Austin, Texas, operates as a subrecipient (86% of recent awards) on federal grants funding water and wastewater system training, technical assistance, and workforce development for rural, tribal, and small public water systems. The organization does not hold prime contracts or IDVs; all federal engagement flows through subrecipient relationships with the National Rural Water Association under grants from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Texas Rural Water Association's federal footprint centers on training and capacity-building for water and wastewater operators and system managers. Recent subrecipient work includes employment of Water Quality Action Specialists providing training and technical assistance to decentralized wastewater systems, publicly-owned treatment works, and municipalities on operations and maintenance (multiple awards, July 2024–September 2025); employment of Training Specialists delivering compliance and sustainability training to tribal, small, and rural public water systems under the Safe Drinking Water Act (August 2024, August 2025); employment of Wastewater Technicians providing direct technical assistance to wastewater systems (July 2024, July 2025); employment of an Apprenticeship Coordinator to build apprenticeship participation and placement (October 2024); and employment of Energy Efficiency Technicians and Manufactured Housing Specialists delivering systems-level training on efficiency and manufactured housing integration (July 2024–July 2025). A Funding Specialist position provided financing planning and acquisition guidance (September 2025).
Customer concentration is sharp and stable. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service anchors ten of twenty-one awards in the source data, and the Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water accounts for eight awards; these two agencies together represent 100% of documented awards. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service account for two and one award respectively. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $2.4 million. Activity has grown modestly — one award in 2009, one in 2010, then three in 2023, seven in 2024, and eight in 2025, indicating sustained engagement with EPA and USDA RUS grant programs over the past three fiscal years. All recent awards are dated between July 2023 and September 2025.
Service Contract Inventory reporting captured minimal activity: two SCI records between FY2022 and FY2024, both in subcontractor roles, with workforce trajectory of 4.3 FTEs in FY2022 and 3.2 FTEs in FY2024. This reflects the grant-funded, non-commercial nature of the organization's federal engagement — SCI excludes grant work and captures only service contracts above the $150,000 threshold. Texas Rural Water Association operates as a feeder organization to the National Rural Water Association prime grants, delivering specialized training and technical assistance tailored to rural water systems across the Southwest region and nationwide. The organization has no direct prime contract or GWAC access and does not appear to pursue full-and-open or set-aside contract work outside the grant subrecipient channel.
