Description
The responsibility of Board Members and Managers of a Water or Wastewater Utility involves making educated decisions that lead to the utility’s ability to provide a clean, safe and dependable supply of drinking water to their customers every day as well as insuring the proper treatment of the water disposed as waste. Being able to use sound business practices to operate a Water or Wastewater utility is one of the most important elements influencing the long-term viability of the utility. Water is the ultimate resource needed for every city, town and community to continue economic growth and a measurable quality of life for its residents.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS, GENERAL MANAGERS, OPERATORS, OFFICE MANAGERS, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, MAYORS, AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS should receive frequent training to obtain current information regarding proper management and operation techniques for Water and Wastewater Utilities.
The Alabama Rural Water Association, in partnership with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, has planned this series of training sessions for water and wastewater utility managers, employees and Board Members throughout the State of Alabama, FREE OF CHARGE.
The training has been planned with specific emphasis upon subject areas most relevant to Board Members or Management positions. For this series of training sessions, an in-depth agenda has been organized to offer you an opportunity to participate and improve upon your management abilities.
To briefly summarize the agenda, Board Members and Management Personnel find themselves engaged in a wide range of policy development and management decisions. Learn more about how to effectively address these areas by hearing discussions regarding the Role and Responsibility of Management as it relates to understanding the importance of responsible I.T. support. In addition, water contracts will be discussed at length. Also, a panel discussion by representatives of various funding agencies will cover new and existing funding opportunities. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management will discuss all of the details of constantly changing regulations to ensure that your utility stays in compliance and away from burdensome penalties and painful notices to your customers. And the current status of operators, certification regulations, and new avenues of securing operators will be discussed.
Again, THIS TRAINING IS FREE OF CHARGE.
We strongly encourage you to attend!
