We’re back this month with not one, not two, but three back-to-back conferences across three states in one week!

In Grand Junction, Colorado, we’re attending the 2026 Western Colorado Water & Wastewater Conference. This regional event convenes professionals from across the water and wastewater industries on the Western Slope for two days of technical education, professional development, and networking.

In Prescott, Arizona, we’re attending the Rural Water Association of Arizona’s 2026 Fall Conference. This conference is a golden opportunity to learn about new industry trends, services, and products, all while earning professional development hours at a variety of unique classes and trainings.

And finally, in Las Cruces, New Mexico, we’re attending the New Mexico Rural Water Association's 16th Annual Southern Fall Conference. This is one of the premiere industry training events in the state and it brings together board members, managers, operators, regulators, industry representatives, funding agency staff, lawmakers and community leaders for various classes and trainings.

This is a fantastic slate of opportunities for water professionals across these three great states to learn and grow in their field. We also have several staff members teaching classes at these events; check out the programs at each conference for more details.

We’ll be at our booths for each of these events, and we hope you’ll stop by and connect with us about water and wastewater in your state.

They help us accomplish everyday tasks and they contribute a forward-minded outlook to the problems we face; and they do it all with their youthful spirit.

SMA’s expanded services include utility records research, coordination with utility owners, surface feature inventory, electromagnetic locating, ground penetrating radar where conditions are suitable, field designation and marking, nondestructive utility exposure, horizontal and vertical utility location, survey-grade mapping, design file integration, utility conflict identification, and construction-phase verification and staking support.
