摘要：

Action is urgently needed to address the aging water workforce in West Virginia, with more than half of the sector's workers in the state nearing retirement.Employee recruitment is a challenge, with most operators midway to late in their career, a lack of diverse backgrounds in the industry, and barriers such as pay and certification.Employee retention issues exist because many operators feel underpaid and underappreciated, with limited opportunities for advancement.
