3.00 Credits
This course is designed for small system operators beginning a career as a water operator and for current operators to upgrade their skills and abilities relating to water treatment operator duties. The course covers basic knowledge and understanding of source waters and wells, how they are constructed, protected, monitored and maintained to provide for a constant, safe supply of water for consumers. Students are required to participate in discussions involving the course topics and hands-on exercises developed specifically to enhance the skills and understanding of water system operators. Students will also be able to identify the components of a well system and calculate the production of the well based on actual measurements taken in the field. Students will begin to develop the necessary attitude and values as have become expected by professionals and peers in this industry. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
