SUMMARY:EFCN: Operator Certification: Disinfection and Solids Handling
DESCRIPTION:Join EFCN for this webinar series designed to help small wastewater system operators pass their certification exams. The series starts with a 1-hour overview of study tips and test preparation techniques. Each subsequent 1-hour webinar will focus on a single topic typically found in Level 1 and Level 2 exams including\, but not limited to: Collection Systems\, Treatment Overviews\, Disinfection and Solids Handling Basics\, NPDES Regulations\, Wastewater Math\, Safety\, Sampling and Reporting and other general wastewater topics. Each session will include sample questions and a short Q and A period. \nWhile this series is primarily focused on helping new operators achieve their Level 1 and 2 certifications\, currently certified operators looking to pass higher level tests can also benefit from attendance as higher-level certification tests are cumulative and typically cover basic as well as advanced treatment topics. \nSession 4: This session will focus on typical disinfection and solids handling processes used in wastewater treatment and how they fit into the overall treatment process. We will discuss how the most common disinfection processes work\, the operator’s role in disinfection and the support systems needed for them to treat wastewater effectively. We will discuss the various ways to handle solids removed from wastewater and typical operator duties associated with these processes. We will also discuss various regulations that apply to disinfection needed to discharge treated water and regulations associated with disposing of solids correctly. \nPresenter: AJ Barney\, Research Scientist\, Southwest Environmental Finance Center

SUMMARY:CWSRF Webinar Series: Changes to the SRF With Additional Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Funds
DESCRIPTION:Session 2: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law brought a massive influx of money to the State Revolving Fund programs: $12.7 billion for Clean Water and $35.7 billion for Drinking Water. With this new money also come regulations to support communities who might previously have been unable to secure SRF funds for critical infrastructure improvements and environmental protection. In session 2 of our CWSRF webinar series\, we will discuss what these changes mean\, particularly for disadvantaged and low-income communities\, and what these communities should expect from SRF loans and grants.\n\nPresenters: Heather Himmelberger\, Director; and Shannon Pepper\, Research Scientist\, Southwest Environmental Finance Center\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend: \n\nManagers\, owners\, and operators of wastewater systems\nDecision-makers for wastewater utilities\, including mayors\, finance officers\, utility managers\, public works directors\, city councilors\, board members\, tribal council members\, and clerks\nConsultants and technical assistance providers serving wastewater systems

SUMMARY:WaterNow Alliance: Leveraging Capital Markets to Accelerate Lead Service Line Replacements
DESCRIPTION:The new $15 billion in federal funding for lead service line replacements\, as vital and historic as it is\, is dwarfed by the estimated $47 billion need to address this public health crisis\, one that affects primarily the most vulnerable and needy among us\, often people of color. It is possible for local water leaders to close this funding gap. WaterNow Alliance and Environmental Policy Innovation Center will host a 1-hour virtual webinar for utility and community leaders nationwide on how they can access capital markets to maximize access to federal funding and accelerate the rate of lead line replacements on private property. \nThe webinar has 5 objectives:\n1. Highlight the One Water and multiple community benefits of replacing lead service lines\, particularly on private properties where they are the most prevalent and most likely to be harming disadvantaged households and communities of color.\n2. Feature perspectives from capital market investors about their interest in investing in lead service line replacement programs as a sound investment and to accelerate these needed replacements and protect public health.\n3. Equip participants with the knowledge of how to leverage local financing approaches to maximize access to federal dollars and accelerate the pace of replacements.\n4. Feature a real-world case study from communities and utilities replacing lead service lines at a faster pace than most.\n5. Answer questions about how to leverage capital markets for lead service line replacements.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Water System Workforce Development
DESCRIPTION:Description: Think about the water system operators and board members you know\, how close are they to retirement? Chances are many will be retiring in the next five to 10 years if not sooner. In rural places\, younger operators may be difficult to retain. As their skills improve\, the salary and benefits offered by larger systems may become increasingly attractive. Join us for a discussion about how to develop the workforce that keeps your system running sustainably. \nParticipants will learn: \n· What legacy planning looks like \n· How to meet the needs of their system now AND for the future \n· If water operators are a dying breed \n· What other projects and programs doing to support the industry \n· What the future looks like for water operators \nRecommended audience: Managers\, board members and operators interested in the future of water operator careers.

Join us for a discussion about how to develop the workforce that keeps your system running sustainably. \nParticipants will learn: \n· What legacy planning looks like \n· How to meet the needs of their system now AND for the future \n· If water operators are a dying breed \n· What other projects and programs doing to support the industry \n· What the future looks like for water operators \nRecommended audience: Managers\, board members and operators interested in the future of water operator careers.

SUMMARY:RCAC: No Bad Bugs: Protecting Your System from Microbial Contaminants
DESCRIPTION:Description: Your water system can easily and effectively spread waterborne diseases such as cholera\, typhoid and E. coli. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention documents more than 22 waterborne disease outbreaks annually in U.S. public water supplies. These outbreaks cause over 10\,000 cases of illness. Protecting your water system from these microbial contaminants is a fundamental goal of every water system. In this workshop\, we will trace the origins of a water system operators’ battle with bad bugs\, from Dr. Snow removing the handle on the Broad Street Pump in London to stop the 1854 cholera epidemic\, to modern sanitary surveys and disinfection methods. The goal of this workshop is to make the water system operator aware of the pathways of microbial contamination and to provide low-cost strategies to prevent contamination of their system. \nParticipants will learn: \n· The five most common routes of microbial contamination of a water system \n· How to conduct a simple but effective Sanitary Survey on your water system \n· The importance of chlorine residual as a low-cost and rapid method of detecting microbial contamination \n· How to use operational records to identify water quality problems \nRecommended audience: All water system operators\, managers\, and board members.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Once More into the Bleach: Handling & Application of Sodium Hypochlorite
DESCRIPTION:Description: Chlorine 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. \nThis learning event gives small water system operators the knowledge\, skills and resources necessary to safely handle and reliably feed 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\nThe origins of germ theory and history of chemical disinfection\nBasic mechanisms of chemical disinfection\n20 best practices for feeding hypochlorite\nThe operation of hypochlorite feed pumps\n\n  \nThe recommended audience includes all water system operators that us hypochlorite.
