Introduction

This comprehensive training program covers water well operation, treatment, and maintenance.

This water network systems operations and maintenance training course provides practical skills and knowledge and safe practices and procedures in operating and maintaining water distribution systems and networks.

This course is designed to cover related topics such as water distribution system operators, procedures operations and maintenance for clear wells, storage tanks, functional elements, components and features of distribution system facilities, operating and maintaining distribution systems and networks, maintaining water quality in the network, disinfecting new and repaired facilities, and methods and techniques for hazard control and safe procedures and programs.

Determine how your well is maintained. While you will have to fix your water well if it experiences issues, you won’t ever have to feel like you have no control over your water source. A municipal water source is easy and convenient for town and city dwellers. However, if something goes wrong, everyone who depends on that source faces issues. With preventative maintenance, wells can last for decades without any major issues. While initial installation, periodic repair, and regular maintenance carry their costs, the water well more than pays for itself in its perpetual supply of water. You aren’t stuck with hefty monthly water bills or fees to the city for rights to their water. You simply pump the water right from your well into your home—free of charge. We hope that this guide will help you understand the basics of owning a water well and what is needed to maintain it properly. It will help you with common terminology, tips, water-quality equipment, and schedules for preventative maintenance.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
