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. We aim to provide in-depth training on critical issues facing Montana’s operators.
MW2OI will offer the Spring Water School from May 13 to 15, 2025. The three-day training event will be held in person at the Hilton Garden Inn in Kalispell, Montana.
The Spring Water School will begin at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 13. Sessions will run until noon on Thursday, May 15.
Knowledgeable speakers from around Montana and the nation will train operators on topics critical to water and wastewater system operation. The Spring 2025 Water School will provide in-depth workshops with practical operational information that operators can readily implement.
The Fall Water will have three concurrent sessions covering a variety of topics, including:
In addition to these workshops, MDEQ will conduct two 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 CECs if they participate in the entire conference.
Registration for the Spring 2025 Spring Water School is $350. Registration includes parking and access to all sessions and refreshments.
