Description:

 

Coliform Sample Collection

This lesson focuses on sample collection for TCR, even though the best practices mentioned here apply to sampling for other parameters as well. Several types of samples can be collected for total coliforms. Routine samples and repeat samples are discussed in this lesson.

 

Participants will be able to :

·        Explain why coliform sampling is important for protecting public health

·        Summarize the purpose of a sample siting plan, and discuss proper coliform sample collection procedures

·        Identify factors, conditions, and common issues that can lead to inaccurate results when collecting samples

·        Recognize the challenges in collecting a valid coliform sample

 

Cyanotoxin

Cyanotoxins may impact both drinking water utility operations and customers. This workshop helps utility personnel understand cyanotoxins and the best way to manage them at their utilities. It also provides utilities with the accurate information they need so that they can take an informed approach when managing cyanotoxins and communicating with customers. After participating in the workshop, utility personnel will understand the conditions under which cyanotoxins can be found, as well as effective monitoring and treatment approaches for managing cyanotoxin events if they occur.

 

Participants will be able to :

·        Describe how, when, and why cyanobacteria toxins occur

·        Evaluate situations to determine when you need to act, and what actions to take

·        Effectively analyze the best options for your utility to limit exposure to cyanotoxins

·        Apply the self-assessment checklist

 

PFAS

PFAS contaminants are an emerging concern across the country, and continuing studies are identifying potential health risks associated with these chemicals. This lesson examines the origin, the concerns, and provides information for small systems about protecting public health.

 

Participants will be able to :

·        Have a greater knowledge of PFAS/PFOA and associated health concerns

·        Understand current regulations

·        Identify proper sampling procedures

·        Understand how to address the problem

·        Identify resources for assistance
