The County of Henrico, located in central Virginia, is home to approximately 334,000 residents. Henrico’s Department of Public Utilities provides water and sewer service to much of the County. In the more rural eastern portion of the County, however, many residents still rely on privately owned drinking water wells.

Building the next generation of wastewater professionals requires more than technical training—it requires a long-term investment in people. The City and County of Honolulu Department of Environmental Services’ (ENV) Training, Development, and Retention (TDR) Program exemplifies that commitment by providing participants with the training, experience, skills, and certification pathways needed for successful careers in wastewater operations.
