Date & Time:

The Developing Operations Plans training will be held on the following date & time:

December 6 | 10:00AM-12:00PM 

This training is being held in Pacific Time. 

Description: 

Your only licensed operator has just left town due to a family emergency and handed you the phone number of a certified operator in the next town. Will the substitute operator know how your system works and what needs to be done daily to keep the water safe and in compliance? A properly prepared operations and maintenance (O&M) plan is one of a water purveyor’s most important documents.

The O&M plan is a “living” document that explains how a public water system is to be operated and maintained on a day-to-day basis to ensure public health, safety and compliance with applicable regulations. In addition to being an important training tool for new staff, the O&M manual serves as a practical handbook by which a qualified substitute operator or a new operator can operate and maintain the system in a safe and reliable manner in absence of the system’s primary operator.

Participants will learn:

·        The vital elements that comprise an O&M plan

·        The most important tools needed for developing an O&M plan 

·        Policies and procedures for keeping your O&M plan updated

·        Free resources and templates for developing O&M plans

Operator Basics Series: The recommended audience includes water system operators, managers and maintenance staff.

This training will be hosted online on GoToTraining.
