AB 818 Wipes Collection Study Complete
Since the passage of our sponsored wet wipes labeling law, AB 818 in 2021, CASA has been working with industry stakeholders to implement the education and outreach requirements in the bill. This effort includes advising on the industry’s mandatory public outreach campaign and distributing materials from the Responsible Flushing Alliance to our member agencies. Another requirement was for CASA and INDA to complete a collection study in California for the purpose of informing the public education campaign about what types of materials are being flushed into California wastewater systems. We are pleased to report the final collection study report is complete. A special thank you to Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San) for participating in this study. For questions about this project please contact Jessica Gauger.

 

2024 Spring Recruitment Campaign
CASA, along with the California Water Environment Assocation, the Association of Clean Water Agencies and the Water Energy Education Alliance have launched a new public outreach campaign “Your Future is Clear” aimed to increased recruitment and highlight careers available in the world of water. As you know well, many California water and wastewater agencies have seen significant turnover in recent years. More than half of our workforce is retiring in large waves, a trend some call the ‘silver tsunami.’

We’ve refilled our reservoirs but need to refill the water workforce pipeline! Please join the 2024 Spring Recruitment Campaign and spread the word about the stable, well-paid, high-quality, inclusive career opportunities. Let’s share the news far and wide – water is hiring!
