Water Operator training!
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is offering several Water Operator courses virtually and in person this summer and fall. The courses listed below will offer continuing education credits. Please visit Michigan.gov/EGLEevents to see the course descriptions for more detailed information about each course.
EGLE developed this workshop for all operators struggling with math or who need to establish the base work for advanced math computation. These in-person sessions will help establish the background knowledge required to progress to the next stage of math for water operators.
EGLE developed this shortened version of cross connections to focus on what is a cross connection, the main causes and concerns of cross connections, what are laws regarding cross connections, and the 5 main ways for protecting systems from back flow. We will look at a few real situations that were encountered in different facilities out in the field.
The focus of this training will be on assisting community water systems that are required to conduct lead and copper sampling. The first webinar will explain requirements for site selection and sampling plans for Lead and Copper monitoring. The second webinar will explain requirements for site sampling for Lead and Copper compliance monitoring. The third webinar will explain requirements and deadlines for reporting Lead and Copper drinking water results after a scheduled monitoring round is complete.
This four-session course is designed for all operators struggling with math or who need to establish the base work for advanced math computation. These sessions will help establish the background knowledge required to progress to the next stage of math for water operators.
This 3-session short course will address topics including chlorination, fluoridation, phosphate/corrosion control, safety, oxidation filtration, hydraulics, pumps, wells, ethics, miscellaneous treatment, ion exchange softening, bacti methods, monitoring/reporting, and rules and regulations.
This Basic Chemistry course is designed for beginners and established operators who would like more understanding of chemistry as it relates to water treatment. This classroom-based chemistry will help establish the background knowledge required to progress to the next state of chemistry for drinking water operators.
This is a math class that is a standalone module with a general math review of topics moving into more complicated chemical dosing calculation focused on fluoridation. We will explore the commonly used chemicals for adding fluoride to drinking water, the benefits of using fluoride, and the actual math behind fluoridation. When exploring the dosing problems for fluoride the slight differences between chlorination will be explained to help eliminate confusions that exist.
For decades, Michigan has supported and encouraged the development and implementation of Source Water Protection (SWP) plans at the local level to protect public drinking water supplies from potential sources of contamination. EGLE, in partnership with Michigan State University’s Institute of Water Research, Michigan Rural Water Association, and community partners, is hosting this conference to help communities design and implement successful SWP programs.
Learn how cross connections affect public health, the potential risks and liabilities, how to conduct surveys and carry out corrective actions, the two types of hydraulic conditions that cause backflow, and backflow prevention assemblies and their applications.
This online course includes three sessions and is offered to allow water utility personnel an opportunity to acquire basic information in the subjects important to distribution systems. This course includes topics such as water mains, pipeline appurtenances, safety, regulations and rules, meters, cross connections, maintenance, and other distribution system related topics.
This course is designed for all operators struggling with math or who need to establish the base work for advanced math computation. These in-person sessions will help establish the background knowledge required to progress to the next stage of math for water operators.
This in-person course is focused on what is a cross connection, the main causes and concerns of cross connections, what are laws regarding cross connections, and the 5 main ways for protecting systems from back flow. We will look at a few real situations that were encountered in different facilities out in the field.
