Description:

Operators and Governing bodies of drinking water systems are held to a high standard to provide safe drinking water to its consumers. One of the inspections that Drinking Water Systems undergo is the Sanitary Survey. This course is designed to help a water system better understand the purpose of the Sanitary Survey and what an inspector will be looking for and checking for. 

It is the ultimate responsibility of every operator, manager and board member to provide safe drinking water to their customers. The prevention and removal of contaminants from the water is an essential job function. Sanitary surveys are a very important tool in helping water systems provide safe drinking water. The Ground Water Rule puts increased regulatory emphasis on conducting sanitary surveys and correcting deficiencies before they lead to water contamination events.

The course will cover 8 essential elements of the Sanitary Survey and how to prepare each element to be ready for the Sanitary Survey and keep their water systems healthy, safe and sustainable.

This course is recommended for system managers, operators, as well as new or seasoned governance members.

Participants will learn:
