SUMMARY:Water Treatment: Coagulation
DESCRIPTION:Description\nSurface water may contain constituents such as pathogenic microorganisms\, natural organic matter\, and sometimes chemicals. Surface water may also have taste and odor issues. The coagulation process is an important part of removing these constituents. Enhanced coagulation in any surface water treatment facility should be a top priority. pH and alkalinity play an important role in the chemistry of coagulation as well as the flash mix. Enhanced coagulation optimizes pH and coagulant dosages to remove as much natural organic matter as possible. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water) \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Corrosion Control
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis training will focus on distribution system corrosion and methods to combat it. Topics covered include: what is corrosion and what causes it\, why some waters are more corrosive than others\, problems caused by corrosion\, lead and copper rules\, and using phosphates and pH adjustment to combat corrosion. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water) \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Personal Protective Equipment\, Ladder\, and Electrical Safety
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class will cover several safety considerations for water and wastewater personnel. First\, we will look at new and improved personal protective equipment (PPE). Falls are the second highest cause of workplace fatality across the nation\, so we will discuss ladder safety at home and in the workplace. Water and wastewater operators also work on and around electrical equipment at their facilities. This class discusses the electrical safety measures that should be in place at your facility. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water & Wastewater) \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Water Treatment: Filtration Processes
DESCRIPTION:Description\nWater filtration is one of the most important treatment processes for the removal of contaminants from drinking water. Groundwater and surface water treatment facilities may use filtration processes for the removal of pathogens\, iron and manganese\, PFAS\, radionuclides\, as well as taste and odor control. In this class\, we will look at how filters work and how they should be operated and maintained. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water) \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:TNC Operations
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis course is designed for Transient Non-Community (TNC) Water System Operators. No matter what your experience as a water system operator\, this course will help you better manage your system. The course will review the following topics: disinfecting your water system (UV and chlorine)\, sampling procedure and sampling schedules\, sanitary survey review\, common water system deficiencies\, rules and regulations (current and upcoming rules)\, discussion of seasonal operations\, basic site investigations. \nFor Class 1B operators\, this course will fulfill the requirement to obtain 3 continuing education credits prior to renewal of your certification. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water) \nInstructor\nMeredith Maskell (VT Drinking Water and Groundwater Protection Division) \nProctor\nTim Russo (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Permit Required Confined Space Entry
DESCRIPTION:Water and wastewater facilities contain many confined spaces which can be dangerous to operators. We will discuss common confined spaces in water and wastewater facilities and the difference between a confined space and a permit-required confined space. This class will build awareness about the safety hazards of a confined space such as atmospheric hazards (hydrogen sulfide\, methane); mechanical hazards; and blood-borne pathogens that are a concern for wastewater collection system workers. You will learn about the proper protective equipment\, procedures for entry into a permit-required confined space\, the need for a rescue plan\, and how to rescue a co-worker if the situation arises.
