Trappe to join MD Rural Water apprenticeship program for operators
Summary
The Trappe Town Council voted unanimously March 4 to enroll in MD Rural Water Association’s two-year apprenticeship program that provides on-the-job training toward water and wastewater operator licenses; grant funding will cover required coursework and some supplemental services.
President Newnam moved and the council unanimously approved joining the MD Rural Water Association apprenticeship program for both water and wastewater operators.
Patty Shreves of MD Rural Water Association presented the program to the council, explaining: "This program is a 2 year program with on the job training for an apprentice to receive their water operator license." She said the association has grant funding to cover all required coursework and some supplemental services, and that water and wastewater tracks cannot be completed simultaneously.
The council’s vote authorizes town staff to pursue enrollment and any related grant paperwork. Town Administrator Erin Braband and council members did not discuss specific apprentice hires or staffing timelines at the meeting; those implementation details were left to staff to return with next steps.
