The Small Public Water Systems Technology Assistance Center (SPWSTAC) located at
Penn State Harrisburg was established in 1998. The objective of the SPWSTAC project
was to provide training and technical assistance to operators of small public water systems
as well as instruction to trainers in adult education techniques and small system
compliance and variance technologies. The objectives of this project were: to determine
if the objectives and goals of the project were being met; and, to identify areas of the
Center's program needing improvement. Facets of the project that were evaluated
included: training programs for operators and trainers; the Center's website, newsletter
and library; marketing of the programs; location of the programs; and, profiling of target
audience. Through this evaluation it can be concluded that the Center is on course in
achieving its objectives through the creation of exceptional training materials and the
delivery of a quality training experience. Several key recommendations intended to
enhance the SPWSTAC project are offered, which include improvements to the
evaluation methods used to measure impact of training and development of a marketing
strategy to enhance operator and trainer interest. Includes 4 references, tables, figures.
