Event Description



MWEA Local Section 21 Presents

70th Annual U.P. Wastewater Operators Conference 


The seminar provides opportunities for wastewater operators, techs, managers, and environmental professionals to learn about the latest technologies, regulations, best practices, what’s happening around the area. Sessions are led by experienced professionals and experts who share valuable insights, case studies, and lessons learned. This provides attendees with practical knowledge that can be applied to their own facilities or operations. Vendors and suppliers often showcase the latest equipment, processes, and problem-solving solutions.

Attending the seminar helps build a sense of community among wastewater professionals in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It fosters relationships that can lead to collaborative problem-solving and support in times of need. Engaging with peers and learning about new advancements and success stories can be motivating and energizing, helping attendees to return to their jobs with renewed enthusiasm and a fresh perspective.
