The Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association (RMWEA) is leading a regional “Value of Water” campaign in partnership with the Denver Film Company to produce a feature-length documentary that tells the story of water—its essential role in public health, environmental stewardship, and the communities we serve.

This documentary will highlight the people, infrastructure, and innovation behind water and wastewater systems through compelling, human-centered storytelling. By bringing these stories to life, the film aims to elevate public awareness, inspire future generations to pursue careers in the water industry, and reinforce the critical importance of protecting our water resources. 

Developed with the Denver Film Company, a studio specializing in cinematic storytelling that informs and inspires, the film is designed for broad reach through film festivals, community screenings, and digital platforms, creating a lasting impact well beyond the Rocky Mountain region and American West. 

This is posted as an “event”, but it is your opportunity to make a potentially tax-deductible contribution (donation) for the documentary.  By “registering for this event,” you agree to donate to support the documentary's production. RMWEA is a 501(c)3 entity, and our EIN is 84-0777358.  Consult your tax advisor about deductibility, and save the receipt that you will receive after processing your contribution using any major credit card.

Come join us in Estes Park for beautiful fall weather and the Estes Park PWO Seminar on Wednesday, October 14th.

The Estes Park PWO Seminar has been focused on providing curated and in-depth discussions of a variety of operator-centric topics.  Our long format (each presentation is 1 hour in length) allows plenty of time for participants and presenters to become familiar and comfortable with the information being shared.  We always strive to have sessions that you do not see often elsewhere!  This year is no different and we will have a great group of talented professionals sharing their expertise with us.
