WIC WEEK 2026 : March 1 - 7

Join us in celebrating and promoting opportunities for women in construction.

The focus of Women in Construction (WIC) Week is to highlight women as a viable component of the construction industry. WIC Week also provides an occasion for NAWIC’s thousands of members across the country to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry. It is also a time for local chapters to give back to their communities.

Thank you to our WIC Week Title Sponsor, LiveOak Fiber!

The expansion project is supported by a significant state investment aimed at strengthening regional water infrastructure across Coastal Georgia.

The Water Reclamation Department (WRD) was established to provide wastewater treatment to the City of Savannah and surrounding areas. WRD consists of the President Street plant and three regional plants in Georgetown, Wilshire, and Crossroads.
