About Operator Boot Camp

Indiana Rural Water Association, in collaboration with the Indiana Section AWWA’s Small Systems and Education Committees, will host our thirteenth Operator Boot Camp on August 8, 2018 at the Miami County 4‐H Fairgrounds in Peru, Indiana.

We invite you to join us for this full day of demonstrations and exhibits highlighting the latest in products, equipment, technology, and services for both water and wastewater systems.

Contact hours will be awarded — 6 water and wastewater hours (pending IDEM approval); and, since the sessions will receive IDEM approval, they are also eligible for professional engineer PDHs. Hours are approved for Well Drillers & Pump Installers - 3 hours for the day will apply.

Please dress for weather and construction site conditions. Also, feel free to bring your own folding chair to use during outdoor demonstrations.

Remember to bring your sunscreen and sunglasses, and grab the rain gear-just in case.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day and a Smitty's Smokehouse lunch buffet will be served.
