Announcing the Private Well Conference 2025
|
|
|
 |
|
Calling all environmental health professionals who also work with private wells!
PrivateWellClass.org, our sister program, will be holding its Private Well Conference in 2025 as an in-person event! Join our teams from May 20-22 in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, for a conference providing information and insights that can be taken home and used locally for the benefit of well owners you serve.
The conference supports the thousands of professionals who work with wells every day — including health department staff, lab personnel, extension educators, well drillers, EHPs, and researchers. The conference is pending preapproval through NEHA (National Environmental Health Association) and IL LEHP for continuing education contact hours.
We will have more details available in the coming weeks, as the agenda is still being set. But our Call for Abstracts is currently open, so we encourage you to submit one! Find more information on the conference, the Call for Abstracts, and past Private Well Conferences at The Private Well Class website.

Lessons Learned: Decisions Needed from Community Leaders During Your Decentralized Wastewater Project
January 21 | 1:00 pm ET |
Rural Community Assistance Partnership
Decentralized wastewater projects are challenging on many fronts. The technical challenges are a given, and probably a large part of why a community has not addressed the problem. When a community decides to begin planning for a solution, environmental and engineering consultants advise them with the technical aspects, and may seek help from an independent project manager or volunteer 'task force' to assist with administering the project. This webinar will review the types of decisions that community leaders will be required to make (and when), even with professional advisors helping along the way.
