💧 Online Workshop: Development of Budgets and Rates for Community Wastewater Systems in Vermont – 09/24/2025

REGISTER HERE
When you are developing a new community decentralized wastewater system, typically you are focused on all the alternatives for the “capital” portion of the project with your professional consultants – the nuts and bolts to build the infrastructure and how to find the funding to pay for it. As this part of the planning process becomes clearer, you need to think about and review what the total costs to provide this essential service to your customers, including operations, management, debt, and savings for the future. This session will provide some advice on the process to set up a budget with limited information and develop a fee/rate structure that provides a basis for your potential customer’s question what’s it going to cost? before they commit to connect to the system.
This training is intended for active and potential board members, volunteer task force members, managers, and administrative staff, and wastewater operators.
