DHS Recognizes Wisconsin Wastewater Professionals
Wastewater professionals honored for their contributions to public health
Today, the Department of Health Services (DHS) joined partners from the Madison Metropolitan Sewage District and the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene to honor Wisconsin wastewater professionals. The event coincides with Governor Evers proclaiming May 22, 2024, as Wastewater Professionals Appreciation Day to recognize these professionals for protecting and promoting the health, safety, and overall well-being of all Wisconsinites.
"Since 2020, wastewater professionals across Wisconsin have been partnering with public health to provide valuable information that allows us to track and respond to public health threats and diseases in our communities in a timely manner, and we would not be able to achieve this without the dedication of wastewater professionals in Wisconsin," said DHS Bureau of Communicable Diseases Director Traci DeSalvo. "We are deeply appreciative of wastewater professionals and facilities across the state and the work they do to benefit Wisconsin public health."
