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.

SUMMARY:EFCN: Connecting with Your Community
DESCRIPTION:Communication with community members can be challenging due to staff and time constraints and lack of resources; however\, you can engage with your community about your utility in easy\, efficient ways. A basic understanding of communication techniques and how to leverage existing resources\, alongside a little planning can strengthen your communication strategies. This webinar will build on the basis that an informed community will support the efforts of the utility to continue to provide the necessary service of clean\, safe drinking water. Further discussion will focus on resources and tips for successful communication with your community.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Achieve & Maintain Compliance with SDWA Series Part 3 of 3
DESCRIPTION:The Achieve & Maintain Compliance with SDWA 3-Part Series is being held in Pacific Time. \nDescription: Cyanobacteria\, formerly referred to as blue-algae\, are found naturally in lakes\, rivers\, ponds and other surface waters. When certain conditions exist\, such as in warm water containing an abundance of nutrients\, they can rapidly form harmful algal blooms (HABs). Some HABs are capable of producing toxins\, called cyanotoxins\, which can pose health risks to humans and animals through drinking water and recreational water exposure. Additionally\, HABs can create taste and odor problems in drinking water\, which do not have adverse human health impacts but can create an earthy and musty taste and smell. \nThe purpose of this learning event is to provide operators of small water systems with a basic knowledge of the causes\, health effects and treatment of cyanobacteria and their associated endotoxins in drinking water. Contaminants related to algal blooms are a relatively new area of concern for water systems using surface supplies. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nBasic information about cyanobacteria and the toxins associated with these organisms\nInformation about Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) providing an understanding of the characteristics and conditions of that result in HABs; including California’s HAB Incident Reporting Map\nAn overview of the treatment technologies for the removal of cyanotoxins in the drinking water treatment plant; including a framework for the management of cyanotoxins in a drinking water supply\n\nRecommended audience: operators\, managers\, and board members of water systems that use surface water supplies. \nAccreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Continuing Education Units awarded per session

SUMMARY:RCAC: Achieve & Maintain Compliance with SDWA Series Part 2 of 3
DESCRIPTION:The Achieve & Maintain Compliance with SDWA 3-Part Series is being held in Pacific Time. \nDescription: PFAS have been all over the news recently with anxieties of high levels of drinking water contamination. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals which include Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS). Known as “forever chemicals” PFAS compounds have been found widely in the environment including thousands of groundwater sources throughout the US. \nPFAS compounds currently the #1 emerging threat to water systems. Continuing studies are identifying potential health risks associated with these chemicals. This session examines the origin\, the concerns\, and provides information for small systems about protecting public health. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhy these “forever” chemicals are not going away\nWhere do PFAS come from\nWhat are health effects of PFAS\nPFAS regulations in drinking water \nPFAS treatment technologies for drinking water systems\n\nRecommended audience: board members\, manager\, and operators. \nAccreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Continuing Education Units awarded per session.
