Education Programs
The FGUA is committed to educating citizens and school aged children about the importance of water and utilities in their communities. By educating the general public about these important topics, the FGUA aims to foster an interest in the science and engineering that goes into providing water and wastewater services, while providing communities with the knowledge and resources that they need to make better decisions regarding their environmental impact. Take a look at our list of programs below to learn more.
