High school and college students in Jefferson City, Mo., will
have greater access to water-quality career training through a $15,000 grant
from Region 7 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the city’s
Lincoln University.
Water Boot Camp will be held from July 23 through 27 at the
university for students from the college and local high schools, both public
and private. Studies will include the essential concepts of water quality and
treatment, and the operations and responsibilities of water utilities and
professionals who are charged with providing clean, safe, potable water.
Instructors will come from the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources and at least one water utility as the students learn through
lectures, group activities, laboratory tasks, facilities tours, field trips and
water-meter testing.
