Collection Systems Committee

About Us

The Collection Systems Committee represents operators, engineers, and managers who work to keep Maine’s wastewater collection systems safe, reliable, and efficient.

What We Do

• Provide training and continuing education for sewer system operators.

• Share innovations in collection system maintenance, rehabilitation, and inspection.

• Recognize excellence through the annual Charles Perry Award.

• Create a professional community to troubleshoot challenges like inflow and infiltration, asset management, and public outreach.

Why It Matters

Wastewater collection is the hidden backbone of clean water. Supporting operators and utilities in this work protects public health, infrastructure investments, and Maine’s environment.
