While we cannot know how every system uses the information provided, we do have a few examples below of feedback from communities that show how decision makers and utility staff intend to implement what they learned from the training.
I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for yalls training. I passed my first test not knowing nothing about collections and wastewater. I want to move forward. Thanks Again.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for this webinar and offer to help! It makes us feel like we are not alone in getting through this time. Thank you so much!! You Rock!
