Rate Setting Workshop |
||
ATTENTION CLERKS, COUNCIL MEMBERS, MAYORS, FINANCE OFFICERS AND OPERATORS Attendees of this workshop can expect to learn about the important steps in determining and setting proper water and sewer rates. During the workshop we will discuss different types of common rate structures and how to determine which is best for your system. What information is needed to set rates for your system? What affect will the management of my assets and my future capital plans have on my rates? What roles stakeholders should play in rate setting? Also learn how to earn customer buy-in on rate adjustments. This workshop offers 5 CEU hours in Water Distribution, Water Treatment, or Wastewater Or This workshop offers 5 Contact Hours for Certified Municipal Professionals. Presenter:

Sampling & Distribution Monitoring |
||
Throughout the United States there are about 880,000 miles of distribution pipelines, which provide water for drinking and other applications. Some of these systems have been in service for over 200 years. Very little is known about the physical, biological, and chemical activities that occur within these pipes. This course is an introduction to some of the issues relating to distribution systems. Some of the topics will include commonly monitored water quality parameters, proper sampling and analytical techniques, and the importance of data acquisition and interpretation for monitoring the health of these vital lifelines. Attendees of this training will earn 6 CEU hours in Water Treatment or Water Distribution. Space is limited to 30 per day |
