Membership Spotlight
 
Bingham and Taylor was founded in 1849 in Buffalo and was a foundational member of AWWA. Having relocated to Culpeper over 70 years ago, B&T has been serving the water industry from Central Virginia since that time, all while providing unwavering support to the VA Section.
 
Not only did B&T patent the Buffalo-style valve box, but they were also the first to manufacture plastic valve boxes and injection molded meter pits. They continue to be the leading supplier of meter and valve access systems for water utilities and are considered to be a green company, using melted down iron from salvaged metal sourced in Culpeper for 100% of their castings.
 
In addition to its headquarters in Culpeper, B&T also has manufacturing facilities in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania, as well as distribution centers in Denver and California.
 
AWWA and the VA Section is honored to count B&T among its members and looks forward to another 170 years of working together!
