On this trip we will virtually drop in on Central San and their new Overflow Simulator. We will then visit the Town of Hillsborough Public Works to explore their NO DES flushing system and unit. Our final stop will be with California Water Service Company to see how they use GIS data to locate meters and forecast main breaks.

Tuesday, May 17, 2022 Time: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT  Description: This webinar is designed to improve understanding of key concepts and mathematical relationships in chlorine disinfection. Attendees will engage in calculating chlorine dosages and feed rates for the three forms of chlorine in order to ensure necessary disinfection is taking place in drinking water. Also, attendees will learn how to calculate CT values in order to comply with inactivation requirements for viruses and Giardia.  Learning Objectives:  Calculate dosage, demand, & residual for chlorine disinfection applications.  Differentiate between combined, total, and free chlorine residuals.  Calculate feed rates for gas, liquid, and solid chlorine forms. Calculate the effective volume of basins and pipes and determine contact time credit.  Calculate CT values for a disinfection application. Evaluate compliance by comparing CT values to log inactivation tables.  Presenter: Gregory Pearson, Water and Wastewater Trainer, Great Lakes Environmental Infrastructure Center at Michigan Technological University   Who Should Attend:  This workshop is designed for water systems serving 10,000 people or fewer (though systems of any size may attend), especially targeting local government systems. Owners of privately owned systems, consultants and technical assistance providers serving water systems are also invited to attend.

Presented by the Environmental Finance Network Center: The last session of this series will focus on billing system data typically used to complete a water audit. Accurate billing data is critical to developing an accurate picture of a utility’s loss volumes and associated values. It is, therefore, important that billing staff supporting utility water auditing have a clear picture of the data they may have to provide. This session will provide an overview of the water auditing process, audit data that billing staff are typically called upon to provide, and common errors and misconceptions that lead to inaccurate audit results.  Register Here Who Should Attend:  Managers, owners, and operators of water systems serving less than 10,000 people Decision-makers for water utilities, including mayors, finance officers, utility managers, public works directors, city councilors, board members, tribal council members, and clerks Consultants and technical assistance providers serving water systems To watch recordings for previous webinars in this series, check out the Water Loss Series Playlist!
