Technical Assistance for Wastewater Utilities: Technical assistance is also offered for public wastewater utilities. Our Wastewater Technicians are well versed in all aspects of Idaho's wastewater operator licensing requirements and training, daily operations and maintenance of collection and treatment systems, discharge monitoring reports, NPDES/IPDES permits, compliance agreements, utility management and sustainable practices, finances and budgeting, and more. Wastewater Technicians can provide assistance remotely or in person at your utility! Obtain help with camera-ing your sewer lines, clearing clogs, implementing a pretreatment or FOG program, identifying and repairing infiltration and inflow (I & I), sludge judging, algae removal and reduction, laboratory diagnosis and assessment, disinfection adjustment, safety, and more. Special emphasis is placed on those systems that are out of compliance with Federal and State drinking water regulations and serve under 10,000 in population.

Source Water Protection: These programs serve to protect the aquifers and surface waters that provide drinking water to Idaho's communities. Our Source Water Protection Specialists will help your community develop a Source Water Protection Plan with the goal of providing safe drinking water for our communities. These plans are meant to join districts, towns, counties, and regions together with a common focus. Help your water system maintain the highest quality of drinking water now and in the future by protecting your water source.
