SUMMARY:Model Sewer Use Ordinance (SUO) and Fats\, Oils\, and Grease (FOG) Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis will be a two-part class that reviews Sewer Use Ordinances (SUO) and Fats\, Oils and Grease (FOG). The first part of this training will address Sewer Use Ordinances (SUO) by discussing the format and requirements that should be included in a strong SUO and providing example conditions and language to consider when updating your ordinance. Randy Bean has developed a model SUO that wastewater systems and municipalities can use as a template for developing their own ordinance. This template will be shared during class. \nThe second part of the training will present information on Fats\, Oils and Grease (FOG). This will include information on best management practices for FOG control\, sizing of interceptors\, the generation of FOG by various users\, inspections and maintenance of interceptors\, and methods to control the discharge of FOG into your collection system. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Wastewater) \nInstructor\nRandy Bean \nProctor\nWayne Graham (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Corrosion Control: Alternatives to Phosphorus-Based Treatments
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class addresses the complex challenges of managing corrosion\, scale\, and bacterial growth in drinking water systems. With increasing regulatory demands\, utilities often face trade-offs between water quality\, chemical usage\, and compliance. We will explore innovative approaches to corrosion control that reduce reliance on phosphorus-based treatments\, helping utilities meet evolving standards without compromising water quality or increasing phosphorus loads in wastewater influent. \nParticipants will learn about a novel equilibrium-blended phosphate solution that maintains water chemistry balance\, optimizes corrosion control\, and minimizes the formation of disinfection byproducts\, all while lowering chemical costs. Through a live demonstration\, we’ll examine corrosion processes\, showcase how distribution system conditions affect treatment decisions\, and discuss integrated strategies for improving chlorine stability\, reducing lead and copper release\, and meeting stringent regulatory limits. This session is ideal for water operators and professionals looking to enhance water quality management with sustainable\, effective practices. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water)\nTreatment Category 2\, Distribution Category 2 | Learn more \nInstructor\nKevin Sullo (AquaSmart) \nProctor\nAllison Smith (Vermont Rural Water Association)
