In this educational program, Georgia water operators are trained on key topics related to water distribution systems (WDS). The online course provides a general survey of system designs, operational methods, water quality assurance and EPA safety standards.
Participants will explore:
- System components, including pipelines, valves, pumps, motors, meters and hydrants
- Organizational schemes
- Storage options
- SCADA system integration in advanced WDS
- Maintenance and repair procedures
- Environmental and safety regulations
A final exam will not be administered. Instead, participants will be prompted to answer a review question at the end of each content section.
