September 22, 2026

Date: September 22, 2026 | One Day | Chapel Hill | Registration fee:

Registration will close one week before the program.

This one-day workshop is designed for local government officials and staff involved in the planning, funding, and management of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. Over two days, participants will gain valuable insights and practical tools to effectively navigate the complex requirements inherent to these projects. Course content focuses on planning efforts, including creating capital plans, assessing debt capacity, understanding funding tools and revenue generation strategies, and engaging with oversight agencies. Participants will receive checklists and guidance on assembling a well-rounded project team and implementing practices that position the project for success. The course can be paired with a preceding one-day course focused on procurement and compliance for water/wastewater infrastructure projects, but they are not co-requisites.

As water/wastewater infrastructure projects are multifaceted and involve multiple departments within a local government, participants are encouraged to attend with colleagues to establish a shared understanding of project planning and requirements. Additionally, this course is geared towards small to mid-sized units that are gaining familiarity with these infrastructure projects.
