Basic Training for Drinking Water Board Members/Commissioners
Among the many people supporting a community’s water system are members of a governing board. These board members, or in some communities, water commissioners, are often citizen volunteers with little or no prior knowledge of running a water system.
State and federal agencies, along with water associations, recognize that these volunteers play a vital role in ensuring the continued safety of our drinking water supplies. This 3-module training was prepared to give board members a basic understanding of everything from running a board meeting, to setting water rates, and working closely with their water operators.
This learning program was developed via a grant with the U.S. EPA.
