35th Annual Yellow Bay Advanced Wastewater Training for Mechanical Systems

Montana Rural Water is excited to host the 35th Annual Yellow Bay training at the Flathead Lake Bio Station- an extension of University of Montana. The three-day course takes students into a deeper understanding of the biological and chemical reactions that occur in wastewater. Please bring a settlometer and 2 liters of your mlss so we can look at your bugs under the microscope!
