Maintaining Water Quality

Public water systems are required to provide safe drinking water. Methods for providing safe drinking water vary from system to system, but there are a handful of methods that apply to all systems. This workshop designed for operators and managers will cover the methods used by most water systems to ensure acceptable water quality. This includes water sampling and basic water distribution system maintenance and protection techniques.
Participants will learn:
- The technique and importance of coliform sampling
- The importance and methods for unidirectional flushing
- Disinfection basics
- Water storage tank cleaning and maintenance
- Cross-connection prevention
The recommended audience includes water system operators and managers. Board members, council members and water consumers are welcome to attend as a diverse group of participants should generate good feedback and networking regarding the demands of operating and maintaining a public water system.
