Strategic Partnerships ACWA serves as the largest statewide coalition for public water agencies in California with over 470 member agencies responsible for 90% of water delivery. This positions them as a potential gateway to large-scale contract opportunities, policy initiatives, and consortium purchasing or shared services ventures.

Executive Leadership Recent high-level hires including an Executive Director and interim leadership indicate active organizational expansion and strategic refocusing. This signals openness to new initiatives, partnerships, and vendor alignment with their updated governance and policy priorities.

Workforce Development The launch of Tomorrow's Water in collaboration with Tomorrow's Talent highlights a commitment to building the water workforce pipeline. This opens doors for training, upskilling programs, simulations, and technology demos targeting public agency staff and future employees.

PFAS and Compliance Joint efforts with the League of California Cities on SB 454 to create a statewide PFAS Mitigation Fund underscore a focus on contamination cleanup and regulatory compliance. Opportunities exist for environmental services, remediation tech, monitoring solutions, and grant-funded project support.

Digital and Data Enablement ACWA’s tech stack includes platforms like Drupal, Microsoft 365, Google Cloud, and analytics/UX tools. This suggests opportunities for cloud-based collaboration, cybersecurity, data analytics, citizen/public engagement portals, and continued modernization of agency workflows.
