Office Of Water Programs Revenue and Competitors

OWP's mission is to provide cost-effective solutions for protecting and enhancing water resources, public health, and the environment through training, scientific research, and public education. Our training group develops and implements programs and publishes manuals for operators of water treatment plants, water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, and municipal and industrial wastewater treatment and reclamation facilities. We also offer programs and materials for pretreatment facility inspectors, environmental compliance inspectors, and utility managers. All training is offered as distance learning, using correspondence, video, or computer-based formats with opportunities for continuing education and contact hours for operators, supervisors, managers, and administrators. Research group engineers and scientists manage research to develop and test the most effective and economical methods for controlling stormwater quality. Our researchers provide technical advice on stormwater policy issues, assist in watershed planning, and author reports and papers describing project results.
