SUMMARY:💧 Business Plans for Small Water Utilities – May 21\, 2024 (NH)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\nSmall water utilities awarded with grants and loans from the NH Department and Environmental Services (NHDES) are required to complete a Business Plan for Small Water Utilities\, before funding is dispersed. This training was designed to help small utilities to understand the purpose and review the format of the Business Plan. Small systems such as Manufactured Home Communities\, local Water Association\, and Small Water Districts will benefit from this training for multiple reasons: Very often they have significant accumulated debt\, poor economy of scale and a low-income customer base. RCAP Solutions in collaboration with the NHDES is offering FREE 2 HOUR TRAINING to help these systems and participants to manage their water system while improving financial sustainability. This workshop is made possible through funding through the USDA Rural Development and the Department of Health and Human Services. This training is approved by NHDES for 2 TCHs for water operators.

SUMMARY:💧 In-Person Training: Water Distribution System Management for Small Water Utilities (North Conway\, NH)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\nMaintenance and upkeep of water distribution systems is particularly challenging for small water utilities with volunteer staff and recurring repairs needed for aged\, undersized piping that is common in many of our small systems. This training will build on the recently completed Service Line Inventories (prepared for the new LCR Revisions) to assist systems with updating their Record Drawings\, monitoring water use data for timely leak repairs\, performing oversight of water infrastructure improvements\, and accessing funding assistance. Bring your laptops for hands-on assistance or use RCAP’s training laptops provided as part of the training. Workshop funding is provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency and has been approved by NHDES for 4 TCHs for water system operators.

SUMMARY:💧 Wastewater Characterization + Sludge Dewatering (USVI)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n \nPresentation 1: Wastewater Characterization\, The First Step to Understand What We Work with and How To Handle It – This presentation raises awareness of the importance of waste characterization. Knowing and understanding wastewater characteristics is the starting point and the baseline for any treatment process\, operation\, process control and troubleshooting. Topics include: (1.) reviewing chemical\, physical a biological characteristic\, (2.) Typical practices\, such as a “first step”\, daily operations\, or troubleshooting a problem in a WWTP\, and (3.) Presents some practical examples. This presentation will give operators and TAPs an edge to better recognize problems in a wastewater treatment plant and select and suggest the best options for a solution.\n \nPresentation 2: Sludge Dewatering\, Need to Know Concepts for Operators – This presentation offers an overview of “need to know” concepts for operators and taps to understand and control a sludge dewatering process. Start with the right foot\, control your sludge handling costs and process efficiency. This section helps participants to understand how sludge characteristics\, dewatering process and disposal destination influence sludge handling procedures. Review use of dewatering chemical products\, mechanisms\, and typical process control. Main topics include Sludge characteristics\, Dewatering- dispose solids not water\, and Process control & testing. It’s not just wishing to have an efficient sludge handling process; you must work it! The presentation is focused in a technical and practical manner to make it useful to operators and technical assistance providers.

SUMMARY:💧 Resilience – Is Capacity Development a Key Piece for Small Water Systems?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n \nThe purpose of this webinar is to highlight the critical role that Capacity Development plays in the resilience of community water systems. The presentation discusses the importance of promoting capacity development and the main concepts related to this effort. In addition\, experiences are shared with the impact on the communities in the technical\, administrative\, and financial areas\, from their daily operations as well as in times of urgent need\, like after natural disasters. Tropical storms\, hurricanes\, and earthquakes are common and typical threats all year long in the Caribbean and now all around the world.  Finally\, suggestions and recommendations are provided that might facilitate the process of assisting a community to develop its capacity. This webinar is funded under RCAP’s EPA NPA 1 23-25 grant.\n \nThe presenter of this webinar will be Carmen Yolanda Montañez Velázquez\, Community Specialist\, RCAP Solutions Caribbean.
