says “Working in the water/wastewater industry can be extremely rewarding since you are providing an important service to your community…It takes knowledgeable, conscientious people to deliver clean, potable water and to ensure that wastewater is discharged in an environmentally safe manner…It takes special people to do this job. People who like to work with their hands and have an interest in biology, chemistry and mathematics are well-suited for the job. One thing is for sure – no two days are the same for water or wastewater operators. They may be repairing a leak in a water line, running a backhoe, welding pipe and ﬁ xing a pump one day and the next day working in the laboratory testing samples for pathogens and microorganisms or presenting information to the town board or the public. Operators wear many hats.” The Cub Scouts of Pack 179 Den 8 now have a greater understanding of what operators do and the special people who work in this ﬁeld. They also learned what a valuable resource water is and how “it is one of the most recycled and reused materials they encounter in their daily lives,” said Dompke. We all need to do our part to raise awareness in the next generations of the great careers available in this industry. Invite students to your conferences, attend career days, or offer internships with your utility; these are all ways we can ensure we will continue to have dedicated operators to provide safe drinking water to the public.
