SUMMARY:Water Treatment: Chlorination
DESCRIPTION:Description\nWhat contamination events warrant shock chlorination procedures? We will discuss events such as flooding\, loss of water system pressure\, and shock chlorination of water storage tanks and distribution piping. Continuous chlorination requires knowledge by water system operators to ensure that public health is protected. Chlorine chemistry is an integral part of water treatment that should be understood by water system operators. Students will learn what breakpoint chlorination is and how to ensure they are achieving it at their treatment facilities. Sodium hypochlorite feed equipment can cause problems; we will look at the issues and how to avoid a sodium hypochlorite feed pump malfunctions. This training session will look at shock chlorination procedures\, water storage tank disinfection\, and pipeline disinfection. \nThe class will also look at proper dechlorination procedures when flushing hydrants or after shock chlorinating. We will explore dechlorination methods and equipment. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water) \nWebinar\nThe Zoom link will be emailed to you the day before class. Please join the Zoom meeting at least 10 minutes before class starts. Click here for more information about Zoom trainings. \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Operation and Maintenance of Distribution Systems
DESCRIPTION:Description\nWater distribution systems and storage tanks are the most vulnerable part of a water system for contamination. This class will take a look at contamination vulnerabilities in a water distribution system. Attendees will learn basic hydraulics\, contamination pathways\, cross connection control\, and operation and maintenance of water storage tanks. The maintenance activities we will discuss include proactive leak detection\, distribution system flushing\, and water quality sampling. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water) \nWebinar\nThe Zoom link will be emailed to you the day before class.

SUMMARY:Basic Wastewater Course
DESCRIPTION:Dates\nJanuary 10\, 17\, 24\, 31\nFebruary 7\, 14\, 21\, 28\n8 am to 3 pm each day \nDescription\nThis eight-week course will prepare attendees to take the Grades 1\, 2\, or 3 Domestic Wastewater certification exams\, and is a great primer for those taking higher grade exams. Attendees will learn the basic concepts of wastewater treatment from collection system to final disposal of effluents and solids. \nThe course will be taught by Elijah Lemieux\, Wayne Graham\, and Paula Jackson from the Vermont Rural Water Association\, along with guest presenters to provide expertise on specific topics. \nTextbook\nThe course is based on Operation of Wastewater Treatment Plants (Volume 1\, 8th edition) by the Office of Water Programs. All students are required to have a copy of this book. You can purchase it for $100 when you register for this class. \nCredit\n48 TCH – Wastewater \nCost\n$685 (with textbook)\n$585 (no textbook) \nMath Class\nStudents are encouraged to attend Basic Math for Water and Wastewater Operators. It will be offered on December 13 in Essex\, March 14 in Essex\, and March 28 in Rutland. \nRegister early! The maximum class size is 20. \nThis class will be offered again in Chester\, VT beginning in March.
