BAYWORK is a network of water and wastewater agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area focused on workforce reliability through regional collaboration.

In May of 2008, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and the Santa Clara Water District co-sponsored a West Coast Water Utilities Workshop on Workforce Development. Findings from this workshop contributed to a subsequent Water Research Foundation Project on potential benefits of regional collaboration; findings of this project showed that the workforce reliability challenges of Bay Area water and wastewater utilities called for a regional response. The workforce development task force which contained representatives from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, East Bay Municipal Utility District, and Union Sanitary District, discovered that the workforce reliability challenges of Bay area water and wastewater utilities called for a regional response. Therefore BAYWORK was created in June 2009. BAYWORK is open to all Bay Area water and wastewater utilities, and many have contributed to its research, workshops, and product development activities. For example, 45 water and wastewater utilities contributed to research jointly conducted with the California community college system in 2009 on present and future labor needs in mission-critical job categories. Today BAYWORK has twenty-five signatories. Alameda County Water District
