BAYWORK: BUILDING THE FUTURE OF WATER
BAYWORK is a network of water and wastewater agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area
focused on workforce reliability through regional collaboration.
Operational reliability of water and wastewater utilities depends on both having sufficient staff in mission-critical jobs
and preparing that staff to do the technical work essential for public health and safety.
HOW BAYWORK GOT STARTED
A year-long Water Research Foundation project on the potential benefits of regional collaboration was conducted and called for a regional response in the San Francisco Bay Area. The result was the creation of BAYWORK – established in 2009. BAYWORK is open to all Bay region water and wastewater utilities, many of who have significantly contributed to its research, workshops, and product development activities.
