Who should attend?

This free workshop is designed for water and wastewater utilities dealing with significant upgrades, rate increases, regulatory challenges, or other decisions that require support and understanding from key leadership. 

It is ideal for utility management and staff to attend the workshop alongside their board or council members and other leaders. This collaborative approach will facilitate discussions among the entire group during the training session.
