SUMMARY:RCAC - Operator Math 101: The Basics
DESCRIPTION:At a minimum\, every public water system regardless of size and complexity requires a certified water distribution operator. In addition\, those systems using treatment also must have an operator that holds a water treatment operator certification. The most significant hurdle for many grade 1 and grade 2 operators in passing the operator certification exam\, however\, is the math portion of the test. Typically\, the math section of the certification exam constitutes about 35% of the total exam score so proficiency in math is necessary to pass the test. \nThe math included in the Operator 101\, 102\, 201 and 202 sessions are based on the expected-range-of-knowledge for the California distribution D1/D2 exams. Operator Math 301 and 302 are targeted to the grade 3/4 level exams. \nThe target learner for these trainings wants (and needs) one specific thing: the ability to accurately calculate operator certification exam math questions. Accordingly\, these learning trainings designs focus solely on this need. These trainings are not designed for “contact hours “or participant “entertainment”. These are hands-on trainings with an expectation of continuous participation working and answering math problems throughout the entire session. \nIn the Operator 101 session participants will learn: \n\nWater units (ft3 to gal\, gal to wt.)\nDistance (in to ft\, ft to m\, ft to mi)\nAreas (ac to ft2\, in2 to ft2\, yd2 to ft2)\nVolumes (ft3 to gal\, gal to L\, L to mL)

SUMMARY:The EPA 2026 Virtual National Cyber Drill
DESCRIPTION:Join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the 2026 National Cybersecurity Drill. This year’s exercise will challenge drinking water and wastewater utilities to operate and maintain critical functions in an environment where telecommunications and internet access are unavailable or unreliable. \nThe exercise is built around a simulated scenario in which cyber and/or physical incidents degrade or disable commercial telecommunications infrastructure\, internet service providers\, and associated systems. As a result\, participating organizations must operate in a “disconnected” environment with limited or no access to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) remote connectivity\, cloud-based services\, email\, Voice over IP (VoIP)\, and other digital communication tools. This exercise is designed to strengthen sector-wide resilience by testing operations under progressively degraded conditions. It enables participants to identify barriers and dependencies while reinforcing continuity of safe and reliable water and wastewater services in the absence of telecommunications and internet connectivity. \nContinuing Education Units (CEUs) will be provided in most states. \nIntended audience: Drinking water and wastewater utility managers and operators; IT and OT staff; emergency response planners; and state and local partners.

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
