2 CA Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded. This course Distribution System Essentials Workshop is now offered as an online two-part series, and 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 link below to register. Please click here if you would like to register for part 2. This class is designed to provide information and tools that operators of small water systems need for proper operation and management of distribution systems, with particular focus on maintaining water quality, avoiding water loss, and maintenance of critical components. Many maintenance activities require advanced knowledge of not only valve and piping operations but also proper scheduled preventative programs in order to dependably deliver safe drinking water. These activities, when practiced as part of a routine maintenance plan, will help small systems to optimize their water supply in a sustainable manner. Participants will learn: • Leak detection & pipeline repair processes • Main flushing guidelines • Valve exercising and valve maintenance • Meter checking and replacement programs For registration questions, contact us at: registration@rcac.org• (916) 447-9832 ext. 1429
This course Disinfection By-Products Rule Workshop is now offered as an online two-part series, and 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 link below to register. Please click here if you would like to register for part 2. Certain commonly used drinking water disinfectants can react with naturally occurring materials in the water to form disinfection by-products (DBPs), which may pose long-term health risks. The Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) and the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Product Rule (DBPR) are the second phase of regulations meant to strengthen protection against microbial contaminants, and at the same time reduce the potential health risks of DBPs. This workshop will examine the factors and causes of DBP formation and the regulatory framework of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 DBPR. Participants will learn: • The differences between the Stage 1 and Stage 2 rules • How to calculate Locational Running Annual Averages (LRAA) and flow- weighted averaging for compliance reporting • How to identify a Combined Distribution System (CDS) and whether it applies to you • Alternative disinfectants and application practices that […]

The State Water Board is seeking public feedback on development of a cost model for estimating costs associated with implementing interim and long-term solutions for failing and at-risk systems. This webinar will provide an in-depth overview of the model’s methodology, embedded assumptions, and cost data. This webinar will be an extension of a webinar hosted by the State Water Board on August 28, 2020 and published White Paper. AGENDA: 1. Overview of Needs Assessment and Cost Estimate 2. In- depth cost model methodology for the implementation of interim and/or emergency measures and long-term solutions for systems in violation and at-risk systems.
