This specialized drinking water training is presented by Anthony Ross, former EPA Flint Safe Drinking Water Act Emergency Coordinator and founder of Environmental & Public Health International®.
Designed for utility executives, regulators, managers, and other decision-makers responsible for protecting public health, this training provides an in-depth examination of the Flint Water Crisis and the leadership, regulatory, and operational failures that contributed to one of the most significant drinking water crises in U.S. history.
Participants will gain firsthand insights into crisis management, regulatory oversight, corrosion control, public communication, accountability, and decision-making under pressure. The training examines critical lessons learned from Flint and how those lessons can strengthen drinking water governance, improve public health protections, and help prevent future crises.
The program is also relevant to public water system operators, distribution professionals, emergency response personnel, and government officials involved in drinking water management and compliance.
