SUMMARY:Webinar | Distribution System Operation & Maintenance Part 2/2
DESCRIPTION:This course is now offered as an online training. It is recommended to take both parts on the same day.  Part 1will take place from 10:00am to 12:00pm and Part 2 will take place from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. Please follow the links below to register for each part separately.  \nYour only licensed operator has just left town due to a family emergency and handed you the phone number of a certified operator in the next town. Will the substitute operator know how your system works and what needs to be done daily to keep it safe and in compliance? A properly prepared Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan is one of a water purveyor’s most important documents. The O&M Plan is a “living” document that explains how a public water system is to be operated and maintained on a day-to-day basis to ensure public health\, safety\, and compliance with applicable regulations. In addition to being an important training tool for new staff\, the O&M manual serves as a practical handbook by which a qualified substitute operator can operate and maintain the system in a safe and reliable manner in absence of the system’s primary operator. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe vital elements that comprise an O&M Plan\nThe two most important tools needed for developing an O&M Plan\nPolicies and procedures for keeping your O&M Plan updated\nFree resources and templates for developing O&M Plans

SUMMARY:Webinar | Understanding Bacteriological Quality Standards
DESCRIPTION:This course Understanding Bacteriological Quality Standards is offered two times on the same day\, attendees ONLY need to register once to take this course. \nProviding safe and affordable drinking water to customers is the primary objective of any drinking water system. Routine monitoring for bacterial contamination is one of the most effective indicators of a potentially hazardous condition in your system. Although waterborne disease outbreaks are relatively uncommon in the United States\, the threat can be deadly. Missed routine and repeat samples are costly in many ways including time\, lab fees\, penalties and consumer confidence\, not to mention the health risk to the public. \nJoin us to learn or review the bacteriological standards required by both California State Total Coliform Rule (TCR) and Federal Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR). This workshop will address public water system standards for ensuring bacteriological quality through monitoring and reporting. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe importance of total coliform as an indicator of water quality\nCompliance with California state and federal bacteriological quality monitoring and reporting regulations\nPublic Notification requirements\nTriggers and follow-up for Level 1 and Level 2 assessments

SUMMARY:Webinar | Once More into the Bleach: Handling and Application of Sodium Hypochlorite Part 2/2
DESCRIPTION:This course is now offered as an online training. It is recommended to take both parts on same day.  Part 1 will take place from 10:00am to 12:00pm and Part 2 will take place from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.  Please follow the link below to register.  \nChlorine is the most commonly used drinking water disinfectant in all regions of the world. Today\, about 98 percent of U.S. water treatment systems use some type of chlorine disinfection process to help provide safe drinking water. By a huge margin\, sodium hypochlorite is the disinfectant used by the vast majority of small (less than 10\,000 population) water systems. Hypochlorite is also the most hazardous chemical used by most of these water systems. If improperly handled\, sodium hypochlorite can create a hazardous and potentially fatal environment. This learning event gives small water system operators the knowledge\, skills and resources necessary to safely handle and reliably feed sodium hypochlorite. This training will be presented in two\, two-hour sessions. \nDisease outbreaks in water systems are rare\, but they can and do happen. There are hundreds of known disease-causing organisms that can contaminate water\, and new ones being discovered every day.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Once More into the Bleach: Handling and Application of Sodium Hypochlorite Part 1/2
DESCRIPTION:This course is now offered as an online training. It is recommended to take both parts on same day.  Part 1 will take place from 10:00am to 12:00pm and Part 2 will take place from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.  Please follow the link below to register.  \nChlorine is the most commonly used drinking water disinfectant in all regions of the world. Today\, about 98 percent of U.S. water treatment systems use some type of chlorine disinfection process to help provide safe drinking water. By a huge margin\, sodium hypochlorite is the disinfectant used by the vast majority of small (less than 10\,000 population) water systems. Hypochlorite is also the most hazardous chemical used by most of these water systems. If improperly handled\, sodium hypochlorite can create a hazardous and potentially fatal environment. This learning event gives small water system operators the knowledge\, skills and resources necessary to safely handle and reliably feed sodium hypochlorite. This training will be presented in two\, two-hour sessions. \nDisease outbreaks in water systems are rare\, but they can and do happen. There are hundreds of known disease-causing organisms that can contaminate water\, and new ones being discovered every day. Even 40 years ago\, pathogens like Giardia were not believed to be harmful to humans. \nPart 1 will cover the safe handling of sodium hypochlorite. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe physical and chemical properties of sodium hypochlorite\nSafe handling of sodium hypochlorite\nUnderstanding hypochlorite decay and its effect on treatment\nHow to read and use the sodium hypochlorite SDS

SUMMARY:Webinar | Storage and Distribution
DESCRIPTION:This module presents the wide aspects and varying operation of water storage systems and distribution piping. The distribution and storage systems are the unrecognized backbone of any water system. However\, due to its inconspicuous nature\, problems are seldom realized and maintenance is seemingly nonexistent. The fact is that most bacteriological contamination takes place in the distribution system. This alone should be enough to warrant prudent maintenance of piping and valves\, and storage tanks in the system. Through purposeful flushing procedures and adequate planning\, system downtime can be minimized and water quality can be improved. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nCommon components and types of water distribution system piping and storage\nMaintenance guidelines and programs that reduce long-term expenditures\nPossible pathways of and how to reduce contamination\nInspection and record-keeping procedures that improve water quality\n\n  \nThis workshop will give participants the information and resources they need to understand proper operation and maintenance of their storage and distribution systems. \n2 CA (Drinking Water) Contact hours awarded.\nCertificates for Contact hours are available through your profile. Times listed are Pacific Time.\nPriority attendance will be given to those from smaller water systems. \nContact hours have been approved for the registered environmental health specialist program \nFor registration questions\, contact us at: registration@rcac.org • (916) 447-9832 ext. 1429
