Description

Objective:

The course objective is for public works personnel and new employees of water or wastewater systems. This course will focus on providing participants with the ability to make calculations as needed to properly operate water and wastewater systems.This course provides participants with fundamentals surrounding the determination of flow level formulas, area and volume calculations, as well as water and wastewater treatment plant calculations. During the course, students are led through the basic steps required to determine these calculations and apply each to an overall system protocol linked to best practices reporting. The successful completion of this course qualifies the student to receive 20 hours of TCEQ water operators licensing credit and 20 hours of wastewater operators licensing credit.
