See UTWARN’s Assistance Request

In response to the COVID-19 virus, the Utah Water and Wastewater Agency Response Network (UTWARN) is compiling a pool of certified water and wastewater operators who might be available to provide emergency on-site assistance to other systems.

If an operator is available for this effort their name, certifications, and certification levels, along with contact information, should be sent by email to rwau@rwau.net. There is no requirement that you respond if you reply to this request.
