Drinking water and wastewater agencies, and most importantly, the skilled employees who work at these facilities, are essential to protecting public health and the environment. These workers require special knowledge and skills and often work with sophisticated equipment. Their actions can have immediate and severe impacts on the public and environmental health. Water and wastewater careers are sustainable and are marketable anywhere in the country, but there is a great need for talented workers in the Bay
