Community + clean water careers: King County Wastewater Treatment Division has teamed up with Villa Comunitaria, ECOSS, and Refugee Women's Alliance (ReWA) through the Partners in Water program to increase access to King County jobs that protect public health and the environment! Now in its second year, the program is creating and testing new ways to help connect more young people and others from underrepresented communities to careers in wastewater and environmental fields.
Protecting our region’s water is a shared effort. The King County Wastewater Treatment Division plays an important role by collecting and cleaning wastewater and protecting rivers, lakes, and Puget Sound. Its work also includes recycling valuable resources, supporting climate resilience, helping communities protect water quality, and maintaining the regional wastewater system for future generations.
