RCAC is continually monitoring the COVID-19 situation, Center for Disease Control (CDC) updates and local public health department recommendations. Based on the latest information and out of an abundance of caution and concern for our staff and the communities we serve, we have made the decision to cancel "Distribution System Repair and Installation Procedures".  We will make every effort to reschedule this training when the CDC and public health authorities determine that the risk to public health from the coronavirus has passed. Please check our website for training updates.

Distribution System Repair and Installation Procedures 

6 CA Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded.

A lot of preparation is required for a public water system to install or repair water mains, valves, hydrants, customer services and other appurtenances. Because most of this is considered “underground work”, the preparation can be especially daunting. Does the system have annual encroachment permits with the county/state, or will individual project permits be required? Do you have standard specifications? Are there other utilities located in the area? Are you required by law to secure three quotes/ bids? When might you need legal counsel to review something? This workshop will utilize the trainer’s experiences, as well as the experience of participants in the workshop, to explore these and other potential issues.

Participants will learn:

• Discussion regarding the importance/acquisition of standard specifications

• When a system needs or does not need encroachment permits

• The quote/bidding process

• Hiring engineers and contractors

• Record keeping

• Discussions with the health department

The recommended audience includes operators and managers.

Certificates for contact hours are available through your profile and for onsite pickup for those that are pre-registered.

Contact Hours have been approved for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist Program.

Registration/Check-in: 8:00 am, lunch is one hour (on your own).
