          NCRWA Now Offering
        
        
          “Surface Irrigation Schools”
        
        
          e are pleased to announce that NC Rural Water is offering WW surface
        
        
          irrigation schools. As most everyone knows by now we have been approved
        
        
          by the NCWPCOCC to offer all wastewater schools in NC. Since our
        
        
          approval in 2010 we have offered Biological, Collections and Physical
        
        
          Chemical schools.
        
        
          Through requests from systems and finding the right person to instruct
        
        
          the Surface Irrigation school curriculum we launched our first school at
        
        
          Fayetteville in February of this year and just wrapped up our second school
        
        
          right before our annual conference on May 6
        
        
          th
        
        
          . Mr. Grady Dobson who is well
        
        
          known in the Fayetteville region is our instructor for these schools. Grady
        
        
          worked with the state in the land application and surface irrigation program
        
        
          for many years and is now retired from that position. Grady was interested in
        
        
          staying involved and sharing his knowledge with others. After talking with
        
        
          students from both our previous schools they all give Grady high marks on
        
        
          his teaching style and knowledge. As of right now we are only offering this
        
        
          school in the Fayetteville region but hope to expand to other parts of the state
        
        
          in the future.
