WASTEWATER PROGRAM

Image

Hello. I am Kenneth Robertson, the Wastewater Program Coordinator for the Arkansas Environmental Training Academy. I’m pleased to bring you our new 2025 Wastewater Training Schedule because we must treat our wastewater to maintain quality waters for wildlife and recreation and a safe drinking water supply for everyone’s future. We look forward to helping you to advance that purpose.

 I would be glad to assist you in finding the method of training best suited for you. We offer classes via the internet, Zoom, and in several classrooms around the state.

Kenneth Robertson, Wastewater Program Coordinator/Instructor
