EPA Training Program

 

EPA Training and Technical Assistance Program

The EPA Training and Technical Assistance Program rovides water and wastewater operators and system managers with formal classroom instruction on compliance, operational, financial and managerial issues. We provide the type of assistance that offers “training” to improve the skill level of water and wastewater personnel by providing professional training assistance at their system. This on-site training assistance effort involves teaching water and wastewater system how to “solve” problems as opposed to simply “fixing” problems. We perform over 310 hours a year in training. Our assistance is available thanks to funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency and membership.
