SUMMARY:EPA Training Webinar: PFAS Removal in Drinking Water Treatment Systems
DESCRIPTION:Removing PFAS from drinking water can be an expensive proposition. It is known that three treatment processes can be effective for PFAS removal: granular activated carbon\, ion exchange resins\, and high-pressure membrane systems. The optimal choice between these technologies is a balance between many factors such as water quality\, PFAS to be removed\, level of removal\, capital cost\, operating costs\, operational complexity\, footprint of the system\, residual handling\, and desire to avoid unintended consequences to other aspects of the treatment and distribution of the water. Also\, even with the choice of the optimal technology\, the design of the system will impact whether it is effective or not. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of treatment issues and the EPA models that are available free to the public\, along with examples of how they can be used. The information generated from the models will provide states and utilities with a better understanding of the fundamentals of carbon adsorption and what that means to the operation\, performance\, and costs associated with this technology. The first part of the webinar will cover the background treatment issues. The second portion of the webinar will be a step-by-step tutorial on where to find the models\, how to download the models\, and how run them. \nFor more information about where EPA keeps PFAS treatment performance information\, go to EPA’s website: https://www.epa.gov/water-research/drinking-water-treatability-database-tdb . \nFor more information about many of the models to be covered\, go to EPA’s website: epa.gov/water-research/environmental-technologies-design-option-tool-etdot \nYou can register here!: https://epawebconferencing.acms.com/toolstraining_august2020/event/registration.html \nFor registration questions\, please contact tools_resources_webinar@epa.gov

SUMMARY:Webinar | Keeping the Water On During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID-19\, many water utilities are not shutting water off for non-payment\, as well as waiving late and reconnection fees. Some utilities have made this choice\, while others are under moratoriums set by their states. How can utilities continue to operate so that the water stays on to combat COVID-19 through handwashing when some customers aren’t paying? This webinar will provide practices to mitigate the revenue loss to utilities. \n\n\nOne practice will involve offering low-flow restrictors to non-paying customers to reduce their volumetric charges. We will also look at how customer assistance programs (CAPs) can be started or expanded at small water systems. The webinar will cover ways to fund these CAPs. We will also consider some practical ways to reduce costs by shifting resources during the pandemic. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Stacey Isaac Berahzer\, CEO\, IB Environmental \nContact: smallsystems@syr.edu \nPartners: \n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Webinar | A Conversation Regarding Coronavirus and How it Might Affect Your Small Water System's Finances & Management
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is an opportunity to ask your questions and have our experts provide you the best answers we can at this time. Coronavirus has upended all of our lives in a very short period of time\, but water utilities are affected in very specific ways. Water personnel must keep working as the continuous provision of water couldn’t be more vital. However\, as others have been laid off or lost their incomes in one way or another\, the utilities will be losing revenue and many will not be performing shut offs. What might this mean for water system finances? How will your water system handle a deficit? Many small systems have 1 or maybe only 2 people who are familiar with the system\, including where assets are\, how it operates\, etc. What happens if personnel are not able to work due to coronavirus or something else\, such as an injury? Does the utility have a good map or an Operation and Maintenance Plan to help another operator who may need to come in and help but is not familiar with the system or the location of assets? Does the utility have an asset management plan it can rely on to help with continuing service? What emergency preparations have been made to date? What communications strategies have you considered?\ \nWe invite participants to ask questions in advance during the registration process. This webinar will follow an”office hours” question and answer format.   \nPresenters: \n\nShadi Eskaf\, Research Director. Environmental Finance Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\nHeather Himmelberger\, Director\, Southwest Environmental Finance Center
