The Arsenic Water Technology Partnership, in collaboration with the New Mexico Environment Department and RCAC, will be conducting four regional workshops in New Mexico designed as day-long trainings on arsenic removal technologies, their effectiveness and costs, current compliance issues for affected systems and information on potential funding sources.
We are especially interested in having all water system operators and their Board members from affected systems attend these valuable trainings which will also provide 7.0 hours of water operator certification credit sanctioned by NMED. The series will be free of charge and will include lunch.
To register for any of these sessions, please contact Chris Campbell at WERC (505.883-2650, chrisc@werc.net) to guarantee your seat for these valuable and up-to-date training sessions.
