The class helped me to set up a better way of presenting our needs and goals to the community and will help explain why our rates may have to go up to keep the system solvent.

Chairman & Operator

As someone who is new in this field, I found all of the components very informative. It helps to understand how water systems are affected and what they can do in response to the coronavirus emergency.

Regulatory and Compliance Engineer

Thank you very much for reaching out to me and our system, with this excellent and helpful webinar. If we are able to implement even ½ of the things I learned about tonight, that will be a start in the right direction; the future of our water company depends on such information, and such developments from our board.
