Drinking Water Operations Course Day One
This session will cover basic math, cross connection, SDWA, distribution components, and water bacteriology and sampling. Basic math will cover exponents, areas, volumes, unit conversions, concentrations, flow rates, and example problems. Cross connection will cover rules, terms and concepts, back flow prevention, cross connection programs, BFP testing requirements, and reporting review. SDWA will cover state regulations, rule reading, location of act 399, requirements in act 399, and revised total coliform, L1/L2 assessments, and violations. Water bacteriology will cover drinking water and environmental health, sampling locations, bacteriological sampling, lab sample procedures, L1A triggers and L2A triggers.
Drinking Water Operations Course Day Two
This session will cover basic chemistry part 1, disinfection/chlorination, and chlorination problems. Basic chemistry part 1 covers history of chemistry, parts of an atom, the periodic table, bond types and forms, naming compounds, and balancing equations. Disinfection/chlorination covers properties of chlorine, chlorine reactions, breakpoint chlorination, chlorine residuals, chlorine by-products. Chlorination problems will cover example problems.
Drinking Water Operations Course Day Three
This session will cover basic chemistry part 2, fluoridation and fluoridation problems. Basic chemistry part 2 will cover balancing reactions, molar masses, rules of fractions and unit conversations, history of the mole, molar mass ratios, molar ratio conversation factors, and stoichiometric calculations. Fluoridation will cover public health issues, forms of fluoride used for water treatment, storage and handling, common feeders, and design, how to calculate application levels, residual testing, and reporting requirements. Fluoridation problems will cover practice problems.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Cancellations made on or before June19, 2023, will be eligible for a full refund of the registration fee. Those who cancel after June 19 and no-shows, will be responsible for the full registration fee. Substitutions are welcome any time.
