The Montana Water and Wastewater Operators Initiative (MW2OI) is a collaborative effort between the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Civil Engineering and Academic Technology and Outreach at Montana State University. Our goal is to provide in-depth training on critical issues facing Montana’s operators.
MW2OI is offering the Spring Water School from May 27-29, 2026. This 2.5 day training event will be held in-person at Flathead Valley Community College in Kalispell, MT.
The Spring Water School will begin at 8 am on Wednesday, May 27. Sessions will run until 12:00 noon on Friday, May 29.
Knowledgeable speakers from around Montana and the nation will provide operators with important training on topics critical to water and wastewater system operation. The Spring 2026 Water School is focused on in-depth workshops with practical operational information that can readily be put into practice.
The 2026 Spring Water School will have 3 concurrent sessions covering a variety of topics, including:
In addition to these workshops, DEQ will also be conducting 2 days of water and wastewater certification review sessions followed by administration of the certification exams.
Operators will have the opportunity to obtain a combination of 20 hours of water, wastewater, or dual credit CEC’s if they participate in the entire conference.
Registration includes access to all sessions and refreshments. Lunch will be on your own.
