Continuing Education Hours / Sessions

This conference offers three tracks to meet your needs - water, wastewater & administrative. You can, however, choose to go to classes in different tracks. In order to receive credit for attending classes, you will need to have your name badge scanned prior to each class and at the end of each class. You will be able to earn up to 14.5 continuing education hours for both water & wastewater licenses. Partial credit will not be given if you come into a class that's already in progress. Full Event Schedule will be out in the near future.

 

Additional Admin Classes

In addition to our water and wastewater sessions, utility managers, board members, clerks and office personnel will have a full administrative track available to them.
