3.00 Credits
This course is designed to train the small water system operator the basic math skills in order to properly operate and maintain a public water system. Procedures that will be covered will include area volume, quantity and velocity calculations, chemical additions and dosage calculations. Formula selection and calculator usage will also be included. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
-
3.00 Credits
In this course small system operators will learn the purpose of disinfection processes. Topics that will be covered in this class will include: chemistry of chlorination, chlorine safety requirements, and calculations of dosage. The focus of this course will be on gas chlorination and chlorinators. Students will be required to identify, repair and maintain all components in a gas chlorination system and to recognize associated problems with a failed or failing system. Also, students are expected to learn the standards set forth by the AWWA for materials, installation and application of chlorine facilities. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)

3.00 Credits
In this course small water system operators will learn to effectively operate and maintain fire hydrants and water meters. Areas to be included in this course will include, proper hydrant flushing techniques, hydrant maintenance, code requirements, differentiating between hydrant types and evaluation of hydrant conditions. Other subject areas will include planning and inspection of construction projects, winter operation and readiness, and pumping of wet barrel hydrants. Water meter component will include disassembly and reassembly of residential and compound water meters, identification of meter parts and common failures of water meters. Students are expected to distinguish between several types and models of water meters and associated components. Students will study how a meter register works and explain the concept behind magnetic metering. Remote meter reading applications will be explored. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)

3.00 Credits
This course will train the small water system operator on how to use laboratory analysis to assist in the operation of a water utility. Operators will learn the proper techniques required to perform water analysis and to apply the results to day-to-day operations. The course is designed to provide the operators with adequate time to develop and perfect the skills to obtain useful data. Procedures that will be covered will include but are not limited to total and fecal coliform analysis, pH, iron and manganese, water hardness, and fluoride concentrations. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
-
3.00 Credits
In this course the operator will gain knowledge and understanding in the operation of ion exchange and reverse osmosis water treatment systems. Operators will practice operating and maintaining treatment units in order to provide both safe and aesthetically desirable drinking water supplies. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide small water system operators with the knowledge and skills required to operate water facilities chlorination systems using liquid solutions as hypochlorite. The content will include preparation of various strength chlorine solutions, feed equipment and processes used in the hypochlorite feed system, application and monitoring points and proper installation of such facilities. Safe handling and personal protection equipment when dealing with hypochlorite solutions will be emphasized. Disinfection analysis and calculations of dosages are also likely. Other small systems disinfection methodologies may be incorporated into this course to meet the needs of communities in rural areas. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
-
3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to provide small water system operators with the knowledge and skills required to develop and maintain a functional record keeping and reporting system. Primary areas of coverage will include records and reports that are required by the MN Department of Health. Information will also be provided on documentation requirements of EPA and the Safe Drinking Water Act regulations. The course will assist the operators in developing a method to develop records in order to effectively operate and maintain the public water system in their charge to include items such as routine and preventative maintenance. This course will provide assistance with report writing to enhance the communications process. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to train the small water system operator on the importance of corrosion control in water treatment facilities and distribution systems. Key topics that will be covered and discussed are, use of chemicals, chemical application points, and chemical feed systems. One of the objectives is to be able to identify and recognize a systems need to manage corrosion of the system and recognize the steps to prevent excessive corrosion form occurring. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to assist operators in applying theories to operations of water a system in relation to the physical effects water has on/in a water system. The affects of head, pressure and force will be explored in both dynamic and static water systems. Head losses, including friction, velocity and total dynamic head will be evaluated. The importance of pressures and pressure losses will be emphasized throughout the course. The concept and effects of water hammer in a water adversely affect a water systems operation and the use of pressure gauges and booster pumps will be demonstrated to replicate what occurs on a daily basis in water systems. Calculations relating to elevation differences and friction losses will be emphasized. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
