Review of Advanced Water Treatment

(Zoom)

For Grades T3 & T4

This 5-week course will present the topics necessary to help prepare individuals for the Grade 3 and 4 Water Treatment exams. This will be done through a series of classroom instruction, weekly homework assignments and a 25-question practice exam on the final week of the course.  It will include an in-depth discussion on treatment processes & troubleshooting, water chemistry, water sampling and analysis, and administrative duties. Time will also be spent solving complex math problems involving an understanding of algebra, calculations of chemical dilutions & dosing, filter/backwash rates, horsepower, and financial planning. Students will receive a student binder that will contain the instructional PowerPoints as well as weekly homework assignments.

There is no required textbook for this course, but it is strongly recommended that students have access to a reference textbook such as the Sacramento State, “Water Treatment Plant Operations” (Vol. I & II, 7^th Edition) or the AWWA “Water System Operations (WSO) Water Treatment” (Grades 3 & 4).
