Water Professionals: Our Essential Workers

While we have all been vigorously washing our hands to help stop the spread of COVID-19, water treatment professionals work around the clock to keep our water flowing. Water professionals are essential workers! To help get the word out about Arizona water workers, Wednesday, September 23rd marked the launch of a statewide campaign to Thank a Water Worker (#ThankAWaterHero, #WaterHeros). 

 

APW strongly supports our Arizona Water Heros (#AZWaterHeros). We are currently featuring Water Professional Careers on our blog. Please check it out and contact us if you are a water professional or if there are water careers you would like to learn more about.

 

As water departments across the nation struggle to maintain staffing levels due to baby boomers retiring, APW is taking on the challenge to engage students in this topic virtually. We are 1) developing a Water Career Symposium for students across Arizona and 2) showcasing water careers and facility operations in the end-of-unit celebrations for 4th graders participating in the Arizona Water Festival program. Let us know if you can help.
