The business of water is getting more complex every day, but with this complexity comes an opportunity to improve efficiencies that are bound to reduce consumption of this vital resource while simultaneously improving utility bottom lines and creating more satisfied customers. This session will cover topics that you can take back to your organization today to start seeing the benefits of today’s rapidly evolving water technology landscape.
2. Objective- The advances in data and technology have given Wastewater/Water agencies the ability to better predict and act on day-to-day occurrences within their wastewater collection system. This presentation reviews how these utilities can adopt unique monitoring technology, which can provide data in a field they did not have before. The monitors can now be mounted directly on the manhole covers – thereby eliminating the need for a confined space entry – while utilizing ultrasonic/pressure sensors to monitor water levels and estimate flows. By utilizing an onboard battery, data is collected and automatically sent to a secure website via satellite, where the utility can view the data and make more informed decisions within its wastewater collection system.
Four program models are explained and explored. The course dives into the creation of a CCC Plan and all the details therein that will have to be considered and addressed by the water purveyor. The course wraps up by discussing budgeting and funding for implementing a CCC Program.

This course covers those potential hazards, confined spaces, mitigating hazards, personal protection equipment and more, to help make your workplace a safer place to be. Whether
biological, chemical or physical, hazards are abundant in wastewater operations—which has more hazards than most other professions. This course covers those potential hazards, confined spaces, mitigating hazards, personal protection equipment and more, to help make your workplace a safer place to be.

In April 2024 US EPA finalized the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for PFOA, PFOS and four other PFAS. It includes complicated requirements we’ve never had in water regulation before, including the Hazard Index MCL and Trigger Levels to determine if a system may go on a reduced monitoring schedule.
During this presentation attendees will learn how these interact and are calculated, the timeline for implementation of the initial monitoring and enforcement of the MCLs, and how UCMR 5 data can be used for initial monitoring.
Review the Excavation and Trenching standards and learn how to determine if your job site is safe using a tape measure! Learn that most trench deaths occur in trenches less than 9' deep. See what options work with your size equipment and job situations. Also, find out why this is one of OSHA's primary job sites for inspection and why District Attorneys are pressing charges for trench deaths.

Learn why OSHA spent 7-years investigating confined space accidents under the old 1910 General Industry Confined Space Standard and introduced the new 1926 Sub Part AA Confined Space for Construction in 2016. We'll learn what practices and procedures municipalities need to follow to protect employees and your legal responsibilities when you have a general contractor or sub-contractor doing work for your district.
