WRWA is offering Traffic Control training for water and wastewater operators, streets departments, and other municipal employees who work in or around roadways. When a water main breaks at 2 a.m. or a sanitary sewer overflow happens during rush hour, operators need to know how to quickly establish a safe work zone—even when it’s dark, stressful, and difficult to think clearly.
