Trappe approves MD Rural Water apprenticeship for water and wastewater operators
Summary
The Trappe Town Council voted unanimously March 4 to join the MD Rural Water Association apprenticeship program, a two-year, grant-supported on-the-job training track for water and wastewater operators that covers required coursework.
Patty Shreves, representing the MD Rural Water Association, described an apprenticeship option for the town’s utility workforce. "This program is a 2 year program with on the job training for an apprentice to receive their water operator license," Shreves said, noting grant funding would cover required coursework and some supplemental services.
After questions about program structure and scheduling, President Newnam moved that Trappe enter the MD Rural Water Association apprenticeship program for both water and wastewater; Commissioner Walter Chase seconded the motion and the council approved it unanimously. The program was described as two separate tracks—water and wastewater—that cannot be completed simultaneously.
Council members said the program would help the town develop certified operators without the full up-front training cost to the municipality. Staff will follow up on enrollment details and grant paperwork required to formalize participation.
