SUMMARY:CalMutuals 10th Anniversary Celebration
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of our Executive Director Adán Ortega and our board of directors we would like to extend a special invitation to join CalMutuals as we celebrate our 10th Anniversary. Please plan to join us August 15th from 5:30-7PM at the Sutter Club Sacramento to celebrate a decade of growth and honor the pivotal work of Small System Champions! \nThe California Association of Mutual Water Companies (“CalMutuals”) was founded by fourteen (14) mutual water companies to advocate and develop resources to support other mutual water companies statewide. Today\, our membership has grown to include almost 500 mutual water companies. In our first decade\, CalMutuals experienced tremendous growth in membership\, influence\, and the scope of support it provides our members. Our growth would not have been possible without the support of state legislators who understand the challenges of small water systems and actively work towards effective solutions on their behalf. Attached to our invitation is a list of our major milestones and accomplishments as an association. \nTo celebrate our successes and partnerships\, CalMutuals is hosting a 10th Anniversary Reception Tuesday\, Aug.15\, 2023\, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Sutter Club located at 1220 9th St\, Sacramento\, CA 95814.  \nRSVP: https://caomwc.wildapricot.org/event-5314737  \nRefreshments and h’ordeuvres will be served.  \nThank you for your ongoing support.  We look forward to celebrating with you!

SUMMARY:RCAC: Chromium in Drinking Water: Return of the Chromium-6 MCL
DESCRIPTION:Accreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded \nDescription: Chromium in drinking water has been regulated since 1977\, but hexavalent chromium\, more commonly known as chromium-6\, has had a turbulent regulatory history. In 2014 chromium-6\, due to its increased carcinogenicity\, had its own maximum contaminant level (MCL) established in California. In 2017\, that MCL was invalidated. Now a new MCL has been proposed. Chromium-6 occurs naturally in Californian rock formations and is an industrial contaminant. In 2017\, it was found in almost 4\,000 wells. This workshop will help systems prepare for the new MCL and make informed decisions on treatment techniques. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nBasic information regarding chromium and its ionic forms\n\nThe adverse health effects caused by chromium-6 exposure\nThe regulatory history of chromium\nWhat to expect from regulations in the future\nTreatment techniques\nPractical considerations when choosing treatment techniques\n\nThe recommended audience includes operators\, managers and board members that have an interest in providing chromium-safe water to their customers.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Water System Basic Operations
DESCRIPTION:Accreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded  \nDescription: Public water system managers and operators have a lot of irons in the fire. They answer to their customers\, local government (board of directors)\, state and county primacy agencies\, other state/county/federal agencies and various businesses/industries. Where does one begin? It all begins with operations\, and the managers/operators need to ensure that safe water is consistently delivered to the customers; the water is under sufficient pressure; all required water testing is performed promptly and with proper testing techniques; and that all records are documented accurately and as required. This workshop will utilize the trainer’s experiences\, as well as the experience of participants in the workshop\, to explore these topics and others as encountered by the experienced managers/operators that will be attending this training. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nAbout doing “the rounds”\n\nRecordkeeping and reporting\nDaily/weekly/monthly tasks\nTheir responsibility to the public\nAbout dealing with the board of directors or other local government\n\nThe recommended audience includes local government (board of directors)\, managers and operators.

SUMMARY:RCAC - Coliform Sampling Procedures
DESCRIPTION:Description: Sampling for total coliforms and E. coli in the water system is one of the most important things an operator can do. The new Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) effective April 2016 affects every public water system. These revisions to the Total Coliform Rule will affect how operators and managers respond to total coliform positives (TC+) and require steps to analyze the integrity of the system as a result of positive samples. Investigation and corrective actions are at the forefront of the RTCR\, and knowing how to complete a level 1 assessment can be the difference between compliance and violation. This workshop will focus on reviewing triggers for level 1 and level 2 assessments and who is expected to perform them; how to conduct an assessment with examples and small group exercises. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nNew procedures for the month following a TC+\nWhat to do if you have a positive E. coli result\nWhen an assessment of system is needed\nHow to complete a level 1 assessment of your system\nTips on system inspection/investigation\n\nOperator Basics Series: The recommended audience includes operators\, managers\, and board members.

SUMMARY:EPA Small Drinking Systems Webinar: Manganese
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development and the Office of Water invites you to attend a free webinar on Manganese. There will be two parts to this webinar. For further information\, view the flyer for the webinar HERE. \nPresentation 1: Manganese Interference with Disinfectant Residual Methods\nThis presentation will provide a summary of manganese occurrence in public water systems and describe its potential interference with commonly used methods to measure disinfectant residual. Case studies will be shared to demonstrate this issue. A flow chart to diagnose manganese interference will be introduced to help identify approaches to minimize manganese interference with commonly used methods\, including sample pre-treatment\, sample filtration\, and alternative methods. \nPresentation 2: Management of Manganese and Small System Considerations\nTreatment of manganese is an ongoing concern for operational\, esthetic and\, more recently\, health reasons. Manganese has been shown to be accumulated and released from the distribution system. These release events can cause discolored water but also release other regulated metals of health concern (e.g. lead\, arsenic) into the distributed water. Research indicates that a finished water concentration of <0.02 mg/L is achievable by most utilities by optimizing existing treatment. At this concentration\, it can also help minimize the accumulation (and subsequent release) of manganese into the distributed water. This presentation will outline management strategies for manganese including small system considerations. \nWho should attend?: State\, and territory\, and tribal personnel responsible for drinking water regulations compliance and treatment technologies permitting\, water system operators\, technical assistance providers\, local government personnel\, and others may benefit from attending.

SUMMARY:RCAC - Metering Replacement Plans
DESCRIPTION:Description: The water meter is the cash register for public water systems! Water systems need an accurate measurement of the water being used by their residential\, commercial\, and industrial customers or they could potentially be losing money. The accuracy is vital for planning all aspects of water system operations from budgeting\, reporting to the primacy agency and planning for the short- and long-term future. It is crucial that the meters be replaced prior to a predetermined date (no more than 15 years) to ensure that the meters are still reading accurately. When replacing meters\, the public water system may want to consider replacing manual read water meters with radio read\, cellular read or other technology\, which brings us to funding. Will we be funding this from our existing budget\, or will we be seeking grant/loan money for a meter replacement project? \nParticipants will learn: \n\n Different types\, brands and styles of water meters and choosing the one best for your system\nProper application of water meters (types and size)\nInstalling a water meter\nBudgeting for water meter replacement vs. loans/grants for water meter replacement\nManual read water meters vs. smart meters\n\nThe recommended audience includes board members\, management and operators.

SUMMARY:EFCN - CWSRF Funding Process Virtual Workshop Series: Economics and Affordability of Low Interest Rate Loans
DESCRIPTION:Join experts from the Environmental Finance Center Network for a no-cost webinar series on the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). This monthly series is intended to help you better understand the CWSRF funding process. \nSessions will be held on the third Thursday every month (excluding December 2023 which will be held on Tuesday\, December 19). \nApril 20\, 2023 | Session 4: Taking on capital improvement projects can be expensive and often necessitates financing\, such as loans. Since loans need to be paid back over time and may require rate increases to generate sufficient revenue for debt repayment\, it is beneficial to decrease the interest and principal as much as possible. Subsidized low-interest rate loans\, like the state Drinking Water or Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRF)\, can save money over time by offering lower interest rates compared to market rates and\, for qualifying communities\, partial principal forgiveness. We recommend low interest loans because they decrease impacts on the customer base. \nIn this webinar\, we will describe low-interest loans\, their merits\, and demonstrate two tools to help evaluate different loan options and their financial impact. We introduce the Subsidized Loan Calculator\, which allows you to compare different loan options and their total and annual debt payments now and 30 years down the road. We will also demonstrate the Affordability Tool to illustrate how different customers may be impacted by rate increases necessary to pay back the loans. Finally\, we will discuss a case study to consider why subsidized loans can be a good option for low-income communities. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAvailable financing options to you for your capital improvement projects\, and compare subsidized low-interest loans to market-rate loans\nEvaluate different loan options based on interest rates and\, if applicable\, principal forgiveness terms\nHow to use the Subsidized Loan Calculator tool to compare low-interest rate and market-rate loans\nUnderstand how taking on a loan can affect your customers\, depending on the loan terms\n\nPresenters: Kristen Downs\, Project Director\, UNC Environmental Finance Center

SUMMARY:RCAC - What You Need to Know About the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
DESCRIPTION:Description: The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 (SGMA) has been called “the most important legislation in California in 100 years.” SGMA mandates the sustainable use of California groundwater. Given the fact that many groundwater basins are in overdraft\, implementation of sustainable practices will likely have a significant impact on small water systems that use groundwater from these basins. SGMA applies to the 127 high and medium priority groundwater basins\, which account for approximately 96 percent of groundwater use in California. It is therefore very likely that a significant number of California small water systems will be impacted by the implementation of sustainable practices mandated by this law. Given that both Water Rights and Adequacy of Supply are Division of Drinking Water (DDW) Technical\, Managerial and Financial (TMF) elements and that SGMA is very likely to have a significant impact on both these elements for a large number of California small water systems\, it is very important that these systems have adequate training into SGMA’s process and requirements. \nParticipants will learn: \n\n The basics of groundwater hydrology\, including: The Water Cycle and types of aquifers\nThe provisions of SGMA\, including: The goal of sustainable water extractions from a basin\nWhat the groundwater sustainability plans are and how they might affect our operations \nStrategies that may be used to achieve sustainability\n\nThe recommended audience includes water system managers\, operators\, administrative staff and board members.
