A trio of water utility associations is jointly offering utility personnel professional scholarships that will cover their expenses to travel and study innovations implemented by their peers around the country.
“The total pot of funds is $30,000, contributed equally from the three organizations,” explains Aaron Fisher, technology and innovation manager at the Water Environment & Reuse (WE&RE) Foundation, one of the participating organizations. “We plan on spending the money on scholarships until it is exhausted. So, there’s no set number of trips.”
