In this course, the focus will be on tackling the various cybersecurity issues that are prevalent in the water industry. Additionally, you can expect to gain in-depth knowledge and coverage of PFAS regulations and testing, which is of paramount importance in this field. PFAS stands for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, which are a group of man-made chemicals that have been used in various industrial and commercial applications. They have been found to persist in the environment and can potentially have harmful effects on human health and the environment.

This course provides essential knowledge on fire hydrants, valves, and pressure monitoring in water systems. Valves play a critical role in controlling water flow and pressure, enabling water supply isolation, regulation, and emergency shut-off. Pressure monitors or gauges are used to measure water pressure within the system, ensuring it meets firefighting requirements. Additionally, the course focuses on PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) regulations. PFAS are synthetic chemicals found in various industries and consumer products, posing risks to human health and the environment due to their persistence. The course covers the fundamentals of PFAS, including sources, potential health effects, and the regulations governing their use and disposal. It also includes guidelines for monitoring PFAS contamination in water systems, testing methods, and techniques for remediation. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the importance of complying with evolving PFAS regulations for the sake of safe and sustainable water management.

The upcoming training class will cover a diverse range of crucial topics. Participants will delve into the intricacies of confined space safety, trench safety, workforce, and asset management, as well as the Low-Income Home Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). It's worth mentioning that vendors who provide Water & Sewer Systems can participate in LIHWAP, which offers aid to low-income households for their water expenses. The training will conclude with a thorough review and evaluation. It's clear that this training class will be a comprehensive and valuable resource for the organization and all its stakeholders.

Join us for an enlightening day of learning and discussion at the Alabama Rural Water Association (ARWA) Training Session. This comprehensive training session is designed to provide in-depth knowledge on key aspects of water and wastewater management, and is held regularly at various locations.

The day will commence with a warm welcome and introduction by a representative from ARWA. This will be followed by a series of informative sessions led by an experienced Environmental Resource Analyst. These sessions will delve into the world of PFAS, explaining what they are, the regulations surrounding them, and providing practical tips on lab testing and sampling.

After a lunch break, where you'll have the opportunity to network and discuss the morning's topics, we'll dive into the microbiology of water and wastewater. This session will focus on Total Coliforms and E. Coli, providing valuable insights into these crucial aspects of water management.

The day will conclude with a session on toxicity, where you'll get to meet the organisms that play a vital role in this area. Finally, there will be a chance for questions and evaluations, ensuring you leave with a comprehensive understanding of the day's topics.

This training session will provide 7 Water/Wastewater CEH's subject to ADEM approval. It's a joint effort of the Alabama Rural Water Association and US EPA, reflecting our commitment to providing high-quality, relevant training for professionals in the field. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and skills in water and wastewater management!
