Upcoming Events
Get Pumped! Water Pump Training w/ Waterbury NDPC
Interested in getting hands-on experience with the types of pumps used in flood prevention and recovery? This event will provide useful knowledge and training for homeowners and cleanup volunteers on the setup and use of various water pumps, including electric sump pumps, transfer pumps, and gas-powered trash pumps.
This will be a drop-in event from 5-7pm and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and get trained on the pumps of their choosing. Training will take place in the shallow end of the Waterbury swimming pool, so participants should be comfortable standing in ankle deep water. Suitable sandals or boots are recommended, along with clothing that might get wet!
Presented by CReW and the Waterbury Natural Disaster Preparedness Committee
