Waterversity’s Founder & Catalyst - Will Hausa
Will Hausa is a certified water‑industry professional and program developer specializing in water treatment, water distribution management, and wastewater treatment. He holds certifications from the Washington State Department of Ecology (Wastewater Treatment) and the Washington State Department of Health (Water Treatment & Water Distribution Management), providing both regulatory insight and hands-on expertise.
He designs and delivers structured career development programs aligned with Washington’s Operator‑in‑Training (OIT) requirements, including 3.0 Continuing Education Units (CEUs), ensuring participants are well‑prepared for certification according to WAC 173-230-260. These programs currently cater to individuals interested in learning about water systems but don’t have direct access to a functional treatment process.
Demonstrating a commitment to youth development and rehabilitation, Will has also mentored young men at Oakridge Community Facility and Remann Hall Juvenile Detention Center, helping build pathways to meaningful careers.
His work bridges regulatory compliance, workforce development, and community impact—creating pipelines into high‑demand water careers. Entry‑level positions for water and wastewater operators in Washington typically begin in the range of $60,000 to $80,000 annually, with averages around $65,000 per year . This showcases the tangible economic benefits of his training programs, designed to equip participants with both credentials and the confidence to succeed in a stable and essential sector.
