App provides innovative all-in-one tools to better manage groundwater contracting businesses.

The National Ground Water Association has launched NGWA Business PRO, an innovative app designed to provide water well contractors with an all-in-one
business management tool. This new app, accessible through a user-friendly website, aims to enhance a company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, streamline management strategies, and assist in resource management. The NGWA Business PRO offers a range of modules and capabilities specifically for
water well contractors. The various modules that are available within the app are:

Dashboard – A real-time overview of a business
Service Tickets – Swift issue resolution
Purchase Orders – Streamlined procurement
Invoices – Seamless and professional billing

To allow companies to experience the full potential of NGWA Business PRO, demo requests are available for a 30-day trial session. This trial allows companies to
experience the functionalities and benefits of the website. “Business PRO will be a valuable tool for companies to create a more-organized and successful environment,” says Terry S. Morse, CAC, CIC, NGWA chief executive officer. “The software included within the app works alongside QuickBooks Online to bring the most vital business resources into one package, which allows for increased efficiency and the ability to quickly develop projects bids, invoices, and budgets.”

The National Ground Water Association is a not-for-profit professional society and trade association for the global groundwater industry. Its members around the world include leading public- and private-sector groundwater scientists, engineers, water well system professionals, manufacturers, and suppliers of groundwater-related products and services. The association’s vision is to be the leading groundwater association advocating for responsible development, management, and use of water.

The Rural Community Assistance Partnership Inc. (RCAP) has recently been
awarded substantial grants totalling $16.4 million from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). This funding aims to support private well owners and
small water systems in maintaining compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The RCAP received $13 million to provide training and technical assistance to
small public water systems, focusing on lead remediation and cybersecurity. An
additional $3.4 million has been allocated to assist private well owners in
improving water quality, with a particular emphasis on increased testing for per-
and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination.

The organization has a strong track record of successfully completing
administrative and reporting requirements for EPA-funded projects. Over the past
three years, RCAP has been awarded eight assistance agreements totaling more
than $34 million.

This significant investment will enable RCAP to address critical issues, such as lead
service line inventories, PFAS testing, and mitigation. By ensuring compliance with
drinking water standards, RCAP aims to safeguard the health and well-being of
communities across the United States.

With its extensive experience and proven ability to deliver on previous EPA
agreements, these grants will make a lasting impact, given the importance of safe
drinking water and the potential vulnerabilities faced by small water systems.
