Webinar | Small Water Utility Insights AWIA Compliance

Webinar Only

Goal: Provide small water community utilities with practical advice on meeting AWIA requirements. The 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. Water 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. Session Topics and Speakers are: Dr. Stephen Baruch, Moderator (AARC) AWIA Compliance – Samantha McVety, EPA Region 9 Coordinator for AWIA Certification Use of the Vsat Tool from a Practitioner Perspective – Deanna McMahan (SEMC) Emergency Response Plan, Does and Don’ts […]

Webinar | Compliance Monitoring & Reporting

Webinar Only

This course Compliance Monitoring & Reporting is offered two times on the same day, attendees ONLY need to register once to take this course. Public water systems are required to test for a multitude of constituents, both in their water sources and in the distribution system. What if we had just one simple place where we could go to in order to remember what we need to test for and when? Fortunately, the Water Boards have a website called Drinc that allows staff (and the public) to see what samples are due, when they are due and what past sampling results are. Once the results have been determined by the lab there may be state reporting required, as well as possible public notification. Participants will learn: How to navigate the Drinc website to determine your monitoring requirements How to determine the best sampling techniques What to do with the water sample results The responsibilities to the state health department The responsibilities when notifying the public of pollutants or contaminates in your drinking water How to correctly fill out a chain-of-custody form
