Wastewater professionals that provide critical services recognized by Department of Homeland Security as paramount for ensuring continuity

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a Coronavirus Guidance for America identifying certain tradespeople as “essential critical infrastructure workers” as the nation responds to the threat of COVID-19.

In a detailed Department of Homeland Security memorandum issued by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, CISA's Director Christopher C. Krebs announced development of an initial list of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers “to help state and local officials as they work to protect their communities, while ensuring continuity of functions critical to public health and safety, as well as economic and national security.”

“…service providers who provide services that are necessary to maintaining the safety, sanitation, and essential operation of residences,” are specifically recognized on the list. The official document can be viewed here.
