Establishing a Successful and Sustainable Waterworks: Revenues, Rates, and Funding

August 19 - 21,  2025 - Richmond, Virginia


In the present economic climate, it is critical that waterworks personnel understand and implement a business plan that allows for an analysis of needs, budget development, and capital improvements. As a part of the planning process, one needs to consider the appropriate rate structure for a community, potential sources of grants or low interest loans, and communication with decision makers and the public. All of these subjects will be covered through lecture, class discussions, and hands-on computer activities.

Continuing Education Credit
Participants will receive 22 contact hours of continuing education credit for successful completion of the course. A digital certificate will be awarded at the conclusion of the course.
