Most of the WRWA staff traveled to Spokane, WA last week for the NRWA In-Service training.

Our team joined rural water colleagues from across the country to share knowledge, continue education, and build connections.

Engaging in this training directly helps us bring these vital skills back to share with our members and strengthen our local communities.

📣NRWA's PFAS Cost Recovery Program Update

Phase 2 of the settlement is now open for systems that tested after June 22, 2023. The deadline to register in the program to be eligible for the settlement is July 12, 2026.

Any public water system that has tested and found detections of ANY PFAS chemical, at any level, is eligible to receive an award from this settlement based on level of detection and maximum daily flows. This includes all 29 PFAS compounds included in the UCMR5 monitoring rule.

We encourage your system to register into the settlement to lessen the financial burden on your system and rate payers.

Another great day of training in the Northland!

This week, wastewater operators earned 6 wastewater credits while diving into the world of Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing and Toxicity Evaluations. The morning session at Environmental Consulting & Testing, Inc. covered organism culturing, WET testing basics, toxicity reduction evaluations (TREs), toxicity identification evaluations (TIEs), and what happens when a facility experiences a toxicity test failure.

The afternoon took us across the bridge to Duluth Resource Renew for a look at the history, processes, and ongoing upgrades at the facility, followed by an excellent plant tour.

A huge thank you to the staff at ECT and Duluth Resource Renew for sharing their expertise and opening their doors to our operators!
