New Jersey Water Operator Continuing Education

Basic Electrical Concepts for Water Operators is a course that covers the fundamental electrical principles that water operators need in their day-to-day operations.

This course introduces operators to the hydrologic cycle and its effects on the structure and functions of water and wastewater systems. From there, we discuss water collection, treatment, and distribution, as well as the physical, chemical, and biological properties of water.

This course provides details on a variety of wastewater equipment, including pumping stations, screening equipment, grinding equipment, grit removal systems, sludge and scum collection apparatus, and flow measurement devices. For each piece of equipment, we will cover major parts, start-up, operation, shutdown, maintenance, and safety.

This course provides an overview of wastewater treatment, including the physical separation of solids, chemical treatment processes, biological processes, and solids treatment and disposal.

New Jersey water operators who need five hours of utility management continuing education should take this course. It explains how to identify workplace hazards, prepare risk management plans, apply effective techniques, respond to injuries, and address treatment plant risks. It also reviews utility management theories and offers additional educational resources.

This course introduces operators to piping systems and familiarizes them with the larger components that make piping systems function, including metallic and nonmetallic piping, tubing, and hoses.

This course dives further into piping systems by discussing the smaller components that make piping systems function, including fittings, common and special valves, strainers, filters, traps, and accessories. Preventative and repair maintenance for these components are also discussed.

This course introduces operators to pumping systems, hydraulics, basic pumping terminology, and pump curves. We will also look at a number of pump types, including end-suction centrifugal pumps, propeller pumps, turbine pumps, and rotary pumps. For each pump type, we’ll discuss internal parts, construction, and operation. This course has no prerequisites.

Covers maintenance and operation of gate, globe, ball, plug, check, and special-purpose valves. Details actuators and various accessories. Explains valve selection based on application. Describes methods of protecting piping systems. This course has no prerequisites.

This course continues looking at additional pump types, including reciprocating pumps, metering pumps, and special purpose pumps. For each pump type, we will discuss internal parts, construction, and operation. We also discuss sealing devices, including packing and mechanical seals, bearings, lubrication, and installation.

Pumps and Motors is a course that details the types, components of and the proper maintenance steps for water pumps and the motors that drive them.

Advanced Oxidation and UV Disinfection is a course designed to introduce water treatment and distribution operators to the operation, uses and types of advanced oxidation and UV processes including ozonation and ultraviolet treatment.

Basic Electrical Concepts for Water Operators is a course that covers the fundamental electrical principles that water operators need in their day-to-day operations.

Membrane Processes is a course designed to introduce water treatment and distribution operators to the operation, uses and types of membrane processes including reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and electrodialysis reversal.

Pipelines is a course that focuses on the all the components of the pipelines that deliver water, including: pipes, meters, valves, hydrants, pumps and motors, horsepower and SCADA systems. It also covers the EPA groundwater rules and distribution system water quality issues.

This course, designed for New Jersey water operators, introduces the basics of storage tanks and their facilities. It reviews the effects of water demand, common tank types, general facility regulations, standards for facility and tank construction and general use. It also examines general maintenance and safety procedures, like proper sanitation.

In this two-hour course, New Jersey water operators will learn about the essential components of U.S. water distribution systems (WDS) and considerations for reducing issues regarding their installment and maintenance. The program also covers ways in which WDS align with community needs and how environmental protocols are enforced to protect water quality.

This course explains how fluids behave, especially under pressure and in motion. This lesson is divided into two major parts. The first concerns fluids at rest and describes the properties fluids have when they are standing still. The second half treats the subject of fluids in motion.
