Speaking at the start of the training in Paynesville on Monday, August 13, the Deputy Executive Director of the EPA, Randall Dobayou called on water producers to operate in the confines of the regulations.

According to Mr. Dobayou, most of the water producers are following the laws, but there are few who are in the constant habit of not only contaminating the image of the industry and putting the lives of 90 percent of the population that consumes their products at risk.

He called on the law-abiding ones to work with relevant government’s agencies including the EPA in rooting out water producers that are not abiding by the government’s regulations.

“We are sending a serious message out there. If you are a water producer and you refuse to come in compliance with the law, we will come after you. During this workshop, we will give you the template and format which was set aside by law.
