The objective of these schools is to REVIEW the basic concepts in the proper operation and maintenance of water distribution and wastewater collection systems.

Vendor Show

NC AWWA-WEA presents three exhibit opportunities at our Collection & Distribution Schools. At each of these schools we host a Vendor Show on Wednesday to give attendees an opportunity to meet with their fellow students, instructors, and vendors. We invite vendors to display products targeted towards Collection System Operators, Distribution System Operators, Meter Technicians, and Backflow/Cross-Connection Operators. Spaces can be reserved for a fee of $150 (non-refundable) per Collection & Distribution School. Your space cannot be guaranteed until your fee and application have been received.
