Sustainability for Rural Communities

Gain ASSE certification with online training for water system control and explore USDA grants for community infrastructure upgrades. Plus, monthly webinars on water system compliance.

Small and rural communities rely on access to affordable loan and grant opportunities through USDA Rural Development to make repairs, upgrades, and to build new critical infrastructure for their communities. While affordable financing is a vital component for these communities, it is not the complete solution. After these projects are completed, the need for training for water and wastewater operators does not go away. Technical assistance ensures the government’s and public’s investment is secured. For small and rural communities to remain sustainable, they need ongoing training and technical assistance.
