Date & Time:

The Go Small & Go Home: Point-of-Use & Point-of-Entry Treatment Systems training will be held on the following date and time:

July 23 | 2:00PM-4:00PM 

This training is being held in the Pacific Time Zone.

Description:

Small public water systems that face challenges associated with removing naturally occurring contaminants from potable water supplies often find the path to compliance challenging. Prior to 1996, all water systems were required to use centralized treatment systems for the removal of naturally occurring contaminants.

 

The 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) removed the prohibition on using point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) treatment devices for small public water systems in order to achieve compliance with some of the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) established under the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. These amendments have expanded the options small water systems may use to meet treated water standards for naturally occurring contaminants.

 

POU and POE treatment devices rely on many of the same treatment technologies used in centralized treatment plants. However, while centralized plants treat all water distributed to consumers to the same level, POU and POE treatment devices treat only a portion of the total flow. A POU device treats only the water intended for direct consumption (drinking and cooking), typically at a single tap or a limited number of taps, while a POE device treats all the water entering a single home, business, school, or facility. Ultimately, POU or POE treatment devices may be an option for public water systems where central treatment is not affordable.

Participants will learn:

·        Types of POE/POU treatment technologies

·        POE/POU regulatory requirements and restrictions

·        How to plan for a POE/POU system

·        The installation, maintenance, and management of POE/POU systems

·        Compliance and performance monitoring of POE/POU systems

 

Operations Topic: The recommended audience includes operators, managers and board members of very small water systems.

 

Location:

This training will be hosted online on GoToTraining.

 

Scholarship & Fees:

Go Small & Go Home: Point-of-Use & Point-of-Entry Treatment Systems is a free training to attend.

 

Registration:

To receive contact hours for online workshops, each person must be registered with their own email address. An evaluation at the end of the training is also required.

 

Are you attending as a group, but not watching from your own computer?

Attendees do not need to participate from their own computer/device for the online trainings. Each attendee will be required to register and complete an evaluation to verify their participation. Prior to session start, a Group Leader will need to inform RCAC (registration@rcac.org) which attendees will view the sessions together. Following the training an evaluation is sent to the Group Leader who will be responsible for sharing it with each attendee in the group.
