Trappe approves joining MD Rural Water two-year apprenticeship for operators
Summary
The Trappe Town Council voted unanimously March 4 to enroll in the Maryland Rural Water Association two-year apprenticeship program to train water and wastewater operators; MD Rural Water has grant funds to cover required coursework and some supplemental services.
President Newnam told the Trappe Town Council on March 4 that Patty Shreves of the Maryland Rural Water Association outlined a two-year apprenticeship program that provides on-the-job training leading to a water operator license.
Patty Shreves said the program offers both water and wastewater tracks but those cannot be done simultaneously; the association has grant funding to pay for all required coursework and some supplemental services. After discussion, President Newnam moved and Commissioner Walter Chase seconded a motion to enroll the town in the apprenticeship program for both water and wastewater; the motion passed unanimously. The council did not attach a funding obligation to the motion beyond accepting the program as presented.
