At the time when the Federation of Water Authorities (JWWA´s predecessor) was established in 1904, Japan was in an early stage of introducing modern water supply. Moder water supply service was provided only in major port cities including Yokohama (service started in 1887), Hakodate, Nagasaki, Osaka, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Kobe.

In those days, there were growing tendency among water utilities toward research and study of subjects related to construction, public hygiene and administration of water supply, and water quality was the most critical issue. Dr. Tinkichi Toyama (Director of Tokyo Institute of Public Health), who advocated establishing a "standard method of water quality examination", called on holding a "Consultative Meeting for Establishing a Standard Method of Water Quality Examination" (the first meeting was held in Tokyo), and this became the origin of JWWA.
