SUMMARY:Webinar | Water Operators & the Capital Improvement Plan Part 1
DESCRIPTION:The water system operator is the heart of every public water system. They usually know what needs to be replaced and when\, but there is occasionally a disconnect between operations and management. This could lead to public water systems experiencing system failures\, resulting in water outages or non-compliance issues. One way to avoid these issues is to plan for the future. This workshop provides tools for the water system operators and management to communicate openly to assist management to develop a Capital Improvement Plan\, which will allow them to replace water system components prior to failure. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhat a CIP is\nResources for developing a CIP\nPlanning and developing a CIP\nHow the CIP ties into other important documents and policies\nUpdating the CIP\n\nThe recommended audience includes operators\, managers and board members.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Go Small and Go Home: Point-of-Use & Point-of-Entry Treatment Systems
DESCRIPTION:This course Go Small and Go Home: Point-of-Use and Point-of-Entry Treatment Systems is offered two times on the same day\, attendees ONLY need to register once to take this course. \nSmall public water systems that face challenges associated with removing naturally occurring contaminants from potable water supplies often find the path to compliance challenging. Prior to 1996\, all water systems were required to use centralized treatment systems for the removal of naturally occurring contaminants. The1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) removed the prohibition on using point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) treatment devices for small public water systems in order to achieve compliance with some of the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) established under the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. These amendments have expanded the options small water systems may use to meet treated water standards for naturally occurring contaminants. \nPOU and POE treatment devices rely on many of the same treatment technologies used in centralized treatment plants. However\, while centralized plants treat all water distributed to consumers to the same level\, POU and POE treatment devices treat only a portion of the total flow. A POU device treats only the water intended for direct consumption (drinking and cooking)\, typically at a single tap or a limited number of taps\, while a POE device treats all the water entering a single home\, business\, school\, or facility. Ultimately\, POU or POE treatment devices may be an option for public water systems where central treatment is not affordable. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nTypes of POE/POU treatment technologies\nPOE/POU regulatory requirements and restrictions\nHow to plan for a POE/POU system\nThe installation\, maintenance\, and management of POE/POU systems\nCompliance and performance monitoring of POE/POU systems

SUMMARY:Webinar | The Balancing Act of Water & Agriculture in California
DESCRIPTION:The agriculture industry in California is pivotal not only to state residents\, but also to the entire country at large. According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture\, over a third of the vegetables in the US come from California\, as well as two-thirds of the nation’s fruits and nuts. Without this state’s agriculture industry\, many of the produce and dairy we have grown accustomed to having year-round would increasingly be in short supply. At the same time\, however\, more than 40% of California’s water is used by the agriculture industry. This pressure on the state’s water supply contributes to drought\, exacerbates climate change\, and impacts regional and state economies\, particularly during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. At the local level\, water allocation to agriculture may compete with community resources. The right to safe and affordable drinking water continues to be unrealized for rural and immigrant farmworker communities\, even as they continue to perform essential work in our economy and feed our communities. \nIn this upcoming WELL Webinar\, The Balancing Act of Water & Ag in California\, we bring together experts in the agriculture industry from a variety of regions–from the Delta to the Central and Coachella Valleys–to discuss the relationship between water and agriculture in the state and explore environmental\, social\, and policy solutions that will help restore the balance between these two important resources. Register here to join us on April 1 from 6:30 pm-7:30 pm.  \nWhile it is our priority to make our educational content free and accessible to all\, WELL is funded in part by your generous donations. Please consider supporting this WELL Webinar by making a donation upon registering. Our suggested donation is $25\, but we will gratefully accept anything you are able to give.

SUMMARY:Webinar |  Small Water Utility Insights AWIA Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Goal: Provide small water community utilities with practical advice on meeting AWIA requirements. \nThe America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018 requires that small community water systems serving at least 3\,300 people assess the risks to\, and the resilience of\, their drinking water systems.  The AWIA requires performance of a Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA)\, which is due June 31\, 2021 and the development of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP)\, which is due December 31\, 2021. \nWater utility managers have long understood the concept of managing risk. Developing a robust RRA and ERP will benefit small community water systems by opening the door to new and ongoing discussions of their vulnerabilities\, including cybersecurity\, and potential risk mitigation needs\, leading to more dynamic policies and procedures. They also will learn how to align the RRA and ERP with Capital Improvement and Facilities Planning which can have the added benefit of incorporating new projects into their Capital Improvement and Facilities Plan. \nSession Topics and Speakers are: \n\nDr. Stephen Baruch\, Moderator (AARC)\nAWIA Compliance – Samantha McVety\, EPA Region 9 Coordinator for AWIA Certification\nUse of the Vsat Tool from a Practitioner Perspective – Deanna McMahan (SEMC)\nEmergency Response Plan\, Does and Don’ts – Gary Sturdivan (SEMC)\nAWIA Cybersecurity – Joe McCroy (AARC)\nQ&A

SUMMARY:Webinar | SAFER: Needs Assessment Results
DESCRIPTION:PURPOSE: This webinar will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to learn about the\nState Water Board’s Needs Assessment results. The State Water Board will provide an\noverview of the results of the Risk Assessment (public water systems\, state small water\nsystems\, and domestic wells)\, Cost Assessment\, and Affordability Assessment. \n\nAGENDA\nItems on this Agenda are numbered for identification purposes only.\n1. Overview of the Needs Assessment\n2. Risk Assessment Results\na. Public Water Systems\nb. State Small Water Systems and Domestic Wells\n3. Cost Assessment Results\n4. Affordability Assessment Results\n5. Public Feedback \n\nNeeds Assessment Results\nThe focus of this webinar is to provide an overview of the Needs Assessment results.\nThe State Water Board has been hosting public webinar workshops to provide\nopportunities for stakeholders to learn about and contribute to the development of the\nNeeds Assessment methodologies. The Risk Assessment for public water systems\nidentifies systems (starting with 3\,300 or less service connections) and K-12 schools\nthat are at-risk of failing to provide adequate safe drinking water. The Risk Assessment\nfor state small water systems and domestic wells identifies areas where systems and\nhouseholds may be accessing groundwater that does not meet primary drinking water\nstandards (maximum contaminant level or MCL). The Cost Assessment results will\nestimate the costs related to the implementation of interim and longer-term solutions for systems on the Human Right to Water list and At-Risk systems. The Cost Assessment\nalso includes the identification of available funding sources and the funding gaps that\nmay exist to support these solutions. The Affordability Assessment will identify\ncommunity water systems that serve disadvantaged communities that must charge their\ncustomers’ fees that exceed the affordability threshold established by the State Water\nBoard in order to provide adequate safe drinking water. \nThe results of the Needs Assessment will be utilized to inform the Fund Expenditure\nPlan for the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. \n\nDOCUMENT AVAILABILITY\nRelated documents and information are available on the State Water Board\nNeeds Assessment website:\nhttps://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/certlic/drinkingwater/needs \n\nPROCEDURAL MATTERS\nDue to ongoing circumstances related to the COVID-19 emergency\, all public\nparticipation will be remote via an online hosted platform. The presentation slides\nwill be sent out ahead of time and shared via webcast. Questions\, comments\, and\ndiscussion items will be collected via the webinar. \n\nACCESSIBILITY\nPlease register for the webinar to receive the participation link for discussion.\nAdditional information about how to access the webinar will be provided via email. \n
