This three (3) day training course is offered in support of the Safe Drinking Water Act and Virginia Waterworks Regulations. It is designed to prepare participants to test, inspect, and provide in-line maintenance of reduced pressure zone and other backflow prevention devices. Training includes both classroom and hands-on instruction with actual devices.

The water sector is constantly facing new challenges, whether it be emerging contaminants, stricter regulations, tighter budgets or aging infrastructure. To meet these challenges, utilities need to consider new tactics to provide the high level of service our customers expect.

For more than 20 years, AWWA and the Partnership for Safe Water has helped large, medium and small sized utilities learn how to operate efficiently with comprehensive programs developed by utilities, for utilities. At the heart of the Partnership is the self-assessment process. Utilities have effectively used self–assessments to identify needs and performance–limiting factors. These needs are then addressed in the form of an action plan that aids in the continuous improvement effort towards optimized operations. Attend this introductory workshop to learn how supervisors and operators can access USDA improvement funds, and how the Partnership helps utilities optimize systems today and in the future.

A seminar presented by the VA AWWA/VWEA Safety and Security Committee explores the hidden dangers that are all around us. From electrical and chemical hazards that impact you at your facilities to silica dust and motor equipment hauling safety in the field. Come hear from the experts about what you can do to be safe from Hidden Hazards.
