Welcome to the Florida Section American Water Works Information Technology (IT) Division.
The IT Division is one of several Divisions that support the mission of the Technical and Education (T&E) Council. The mission of the IT Division is to become the trusted resource for Information Technology related to Water Systems in the State of Florida. As such, our group is primarily focused on providing training and education opportunities to FS AWWA members in the Information Technology area.
