SUMMARY:Water Audits and Leak Detection
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class provides a practical introduction to water loss auditing and leak detection for water distribution systems. Participants will learn which tools to use for calculating non-revenue water losses\, including the AWWA Free Water Audit Software\, to calculate non-revenue water and assess system performance. \nNext\, participants will learn about the tools used for leak detection such as acoustic microphones\, leak correlators\, and acoustic loggers. The course explains acoustic theory\, sound propagation\, and the effects of pipe material and water pressure on leak noise. Participants will learn how to apply field techniques in performing a comprehensive leak detection survey by pressure logging\, sounding at valves and hydrants\, and line isolation to locate underground and indoor leaks. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water)\nWater Treatment Category 2\, Distribution Category 2 | Learn more \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Operation of Surface Water Treatment Plants
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis course discusses the essential scientific principles\, treatment processes\, and operational practices used in surface water treatment. Students will learn basic chemistry and water quality parameters such as turbidity\, pH and alkalinity. \nThe EPA’s Surface Water Treatment Rule is the water operator’s guidance for process control and finished water quality. Sampling and reporting are required under the Surface Water Treatment Rule. \nEach stage of treatment—from influent screening\, grit removal\, and raw water pumping through coagulation\, flocculation\, sedimentation\, clarification\, filtration\, and disinfection—will be discussed. The course also reviews dual-media\, rapid-sand and slow sand filtration systems as well as chlorine\, ultraviolet\, and alternative disinfection methods. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water)\nWater Treatment Category 2\, Distribution Category 2 | Learn more \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)
