NRWA, in a partnership with the Texas, Florida, and Kentucky Rural Water Associations, launched Water University in 2009 in an effort to ensure the continuity of the knowledge developed by modern utility manangers.
Today, the water and wastewater industry is more complex than ever before. Economics, increased complexity in regulatory requirements and a changing society are crafting the water and wastewater systems of tomorrow. As our industry changes, there is a strong need to recognize the individuals who provide leadership to the industry and create a standard for the future.
Water University certification programs are designed to recognize the professional educational achievements of individuals and to market their achievements and skills to increase the value of today’s water professionals.
Water University highly-recommends the use of study material before taking certification examinations, including the purchase of study guides and attendance of Water U preparation courses. Examinations cover a wide array of topics in great technical detail.
Water University currently offers a nationally recognized utility management certification program and governance certification program is in development. Visit the Water University Web site or use the navigation links to find out more about current programs.
