SUMMARY:Mapping Small Water Systems with Free Google Earth Pro Desktop
DESCRIPTION:For a water utility\, asset management plays a significant role in overall financial performance. With the use of effective asset management\, it is possible to reduce overall infrastructure costs instead of waiting until the assets fail\, incurring higher than necessary costs. Mapping a water system’s assets can greatly assist with developing an asset management plan and your ability to locate assets during an emergency. \nParticipants will receive a step-by-step tutorial on how to get started mapping their water system’s assets using Google Earth Pro for project planning\, public presentations and developing capital improvement plans. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe basic tools of Google Earth needed to map water system assets\nHow to import scanned maps and handheld GPS coordinates\nHow to derive water main pipe lengths\, project planning\, and cost estimating\nHow to edit\, save\, and share your Google Earth maps with project team members and the public\n\nThe recommended audience includes operators\, managers and board members who make future water treatment decisions.  \nParticipants should download and install the free Google Earth Pro software prior to the class by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Do the Math: Operator Certification Exam Preparation
DESCRIPTION:The math included in this training is based on the expected-range-of-knowledge for the California distribution and treatment exams grades 1 and 2.  The target learner for this training will focus on the ability to accurately calculate operator certification exam math questions. This is a hands-on training with an expectation of continuous participation — working and answering math problems – throughout the entire session.  \nParticipants will learn: \n\nConversions\nAreas and volumes\nDosage problem\nHead and pressure problems\nWell and pump problems\n\nThe recommended audience includes water operators preparing to take their certification exam.

SUMMARY:Treatment & Distribution Operator Expected Range of Knowledge Exam Prep
DESCRIPTION:If you want to pass your treatment operator certification exam you must have a basic grasp of the expected range of knowledge that will be on the exam. Of the 100 questions that make up the water distribution operator exam\, 85 of them will cover the expected range of knowledge topics. So\, if you want to pass the exam\, this training is for you. \n  \nThe State Water Resources Control Board\, Division of Drinking Water (DDW) administers the drinking water treatment operator certification program in California. The DDW provides an “Expected Range on Knowledge” for the topics expected on the five levels of state exams. This document is very specific and accurate. This training will be covering this document\, which will help prepare the water treatment operator to take the state exam. \nConsistent with the online nature of the California water operator certification exams\, practice problems in this training will be conducted online to give the operator training in the actual exam environment. Accordingly\, each attendee will need to bring a cell phone or tablet capable of connecting to the internet to participate in this class.  \nParticipants will learn: \n\nDisinfection\nDistribution System Design / Hydraulics\nEquipment and Plant Operation / Maintenance / Inspections\nWater Mains and Piping\n     Water Quality / Water Sources\nWater Treatment Process Basics\nLaboratory procedures; and\nSafety / Regulations / Administrative Duties\n\nThe recommended audience includes water operators\, laborers\, managers and anyone preparing for the D1\, T1\, D2\, or T2 exams.

SUMMARY:Groundwater Treatment Techniques
DESCRIPTION:85% of California public water systems use only groundwater as their primary source of water. A significant number of California communities rely on contaminated groundwater sources for their public drinking water supply\, requiring the source to undergo a comprehensive treatment effort. Groundwater treatment is a complex topic. The range of contaminants of concern to safe drinking water is broad\, covering essentially the entire chemical spectrum. Occurrence of groundwater contamination is similarly diverse encompassing both naturally occurring and man-made contaminants. Operators of groundwater systems therefore need a comprehensive reconnaissance-level knowledge of groundwater treatment technologies and how these technologies are applied to removal/control of specific groundwater contaminants. \nThis learning event will provide California water system operators with a reconnaissance level knowledge of the technologies employed to treat drinking water from groundwater supplies. \nParticipants will learn about: \n\nMicrobial contaminants (bacteria and virus)\nIron and Manganese\nArsenic\nNitrate\nUranium\nOrganics\nVOCs\nSOCs\nHydrogen sulfide\n\nThe recommended audience includes operators\, managers\, and board members.

SUMMARY:Dealing with 'Forever Chemicals': PFAS in Drinking Water
DESCRIPTION:Concern about PFAS contamination is on the rise\, as more water systems are discovering them in their water supply. PFAS is a group of man-made chemicals which include Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS). Known as “forever chemicals\,” they do not break down in the environment. PFAS compounds have been found widely in the environment\, including thousands of groundwater sources throughout the US. \nPFAS is now the #1 emerging threat to water systems. Studies identify potential health risks associated with these chemicals. This session probes into the origin of PFAS\, the environmental and health concerns\, and provides information for small systems about protecting public health. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhy do we call PFAS “forever chemicals” \nWhere does PFAS come from and is it still manufactured\nWhat are the environmental and health effects of PFAS \nWhat are the current PFAS regulations for drinking water\nWhat are PFAS treatment technologies for drinking water systems

SUMMARY:Board Basics: The Safe Drinking Water Act
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the country\, small water system staff adhere to regulations to provide safe drinking water for their customers. The drinking water system staff follow directions from the state or county health department but may not realize that these regulations began at a federal level. This workshop will teach operators\, managers and board members how and why these regulations exist. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe basis for SDWA and the related U.S. code and federal regulations\nHow drinking water events correspond with amendments to the SDWA\nHow to look-up drinking water regulations under development and review\n\nThe recommended audience includes all water system operators and managers.
