SUMMARY:Webinar | Operations Plans
DESCRIPTION:This course Operations Plan is offered two times on the same day\, attendees ONLY need to register once to take this course. \nYour only licensed operator has just left town due to a family emergency and handed you the phone number of a certified operator in the next town. Will the substitute operator know how your system works and what needs to be done daily to keep it safe and in compliance? A properly prepared Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan is one of a water purveyor’s most important documents. The O&M Plan is a “living” document that explains how a public water system is to be operated and maintained on a day-to-day basis to ensure public health\, safety and compliance with applicable regulations. In addition to being an important training tool for new staff\, the O&M manual serves as a practical handbook by which a qualified substitute operator can operate and maintain the system in a safe and reliable manner in absence of the system’s primary operator. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nVital elements that comprise an O&M Plan\n\n\nThe two most important tools needed for developing an O&M Plan\n\n\nPolicies and procedures for keeping your O&M Plan updated\n\n\nAbout free resources and templates for developing O&M Plans

SUMMARY:Webinar | Drought Contingency Planning and Water Loss Part 2/2
DESCRIPTION:This course is now offered as an online training. It is recommended to take both parts on the same day.  Part 1 will take place from 10:00am to 12:00pm and Part 2 will take place from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. Please follow the links below to register for each part separately.  \nAlthough the Governor has announced that the drought state of emergency has ended\, we are now transitioning to a permanent framework for making water conservation a California way of life. Current prohibitions against wasteful water use practices and requirements for monthly water use reporting still remain in place. Planning for drought conditions is essential to ensure water supply for public health and safety and to minimize impacts on economics\, environment and lifestyle. This workshop will cover how to plan for drought to reduce the vulnerability of the water system. Knowing how much water you have and use\, plays a huge role in drought preparedness and water conservation. Learn how to monitor for drought\, and lessons learned from the past. Understand the challenges of small systems\, and how to keep up with current and new drought/conservation regulations. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhere to find climate information\nHow to determine triggers for different drought stages\nWhy asset management reduces costs\nBest practices to reduce water use\, making water conservation a way of life in your community\nHow to develop a drought management plan and obtain public buy-in\nUseful tools and resources to keep up with current and new regulations

SUMMARY:Webinar | Understanding Bacteriological Quality Standards
DESCRIPTION:This course Understanding Bacteriological Quality Standards is offered two times on the same day\, attendees ONLY need to register once to take this course. \nProviding safe and affordable drinking water to customers is the primary objective of any drinking water system. Routine monitoring for bacterial contamination is one of the most effective indicators of a potentially hazardous condition in your system. Although waterborne disease outbreaks are relatively uncommon in the United States\, the threat can be deadly. Missed routine and repeat samples are costly in many ways including time\, lab fees\, penalties and consumer confidence\, not to mention the health risk to the public. \nJoin us to learn or review the bacteriological standards required by both California State Total Coliform Rule (TCR) and Federal Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR). This workshop will address public water system standards for ensuring bacteriological quality through monitoring and reporting. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe importance of total coliform as an indicator of water quality\nCompliance with California state and federal bacteriological quality monitoring and reporting regulations\nPublic Notification requirements\nTriggers and follow-up for Level 1 and Level 2 assessments

SUMMARY:Webinar | Pumps\, Motors & Energy Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:This course Pumps\, Motors & Energy Efficiency is offered two times on the same day\, attendees ONLY need to register once to take this course. \nPumping water is one of the most inefficient uses of energy there is. Most water pumping systems only convert 30 to 60 percent of the power they consume (and you pay for) into useful work\, one of the lowest margins of efficiency of all uses of energy. Why? The laws of physics mostly\, but also simple mistakes made in selecting a pump or motor for a given duty point. This workshop will help you understand and minimize inefficiency in your pumping systems and teach you how to choose the right pump and motor for the job—one that will save money year after year. \nThis workshop will give participants a variety of tools\, tips and information they can use to reduce energy costs at their utilities. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhere to find and how to use free Total Dynamic Head (TDH) and horsepower calculators on the internet\nHow to calculate TDH in a fluid pumping system\nHow to solve wire-to-water energy calculations\nThe six factors in friction loss and how to minimize them

SUMMARY:Webinar | Using MHI Data for Water System Management
DESCRIPTION:Is your small rural water system infrastructure coming to the end of its useful life? Are those replacement dates approaching quickly? Maybe your system is out of compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)\, or can’t meet peak daily water demand because of drought. Often small rural water systems find it difficult to set aside the appropriate reserve funds to pay for these costs and keep water rates affordable. Many systems depend on multiple state and federal funding sources in the form of grants\, and zero- or low-interest loans to remedy these challenges. Don’t assume that your system will qualify for these state and federal funds without doing your research. \nFunding agencies use the community’s median household income (MHI) to deter­mine the grant amount and/or loan funds they can provide the system\, and what is an affordable service rate. This course will help you to determine if your system needs an income survey conducted\, and how it can be a tremendous benefit to your community. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nHow to determine if your system could benefit from an income survey\nBenefits analysis\nHow it could help you develop a stronger capital improvements plan\nThe MHI process\, how and when to get start\nWho conducts the survey\, and who’s going to pay for it.
