As one third of the water workforce becomes eligible to retire in the next ten years, the water industry faces a shortage of professionals qualified to perform mission-critical jobs of operating and maintaining our Drinking Water and Clean Water (wastewater treatment) facilities and infrastructure.
In response to this imminent crisis, all 14 New England and State professional Drinking Water and Clean Water associations* have teamed up to fund New England Work for Water, an initiative focused on creating a sustainable workforce development organization for all New England water utilities. To accomplish this worthy goal, we need your help.
We are looking for every Drinking Water and Clean Water utility in New England to complete a survey that will provide the Steering Committee with data to develop the initiative plan and actions.
