Description
The 3 part course addresses distribution issues that will enable personnel to be compliant to specific agencies in the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland. Dechlorination and leak detection are regulated by PADEP, PA Fish & Game Commission, and MDE. Whereas pipeline locating is overseen by PA Onecall and Miss Utility (MD & DE).
All water discharges (potable & superchlorinated) without treatment are a threat to aquatic life. There are several methods that are very effective in neutralizing CL2 or Chloramines.
Locating pipelines and valves can be difficult at times. The various locators available as well as locating tips can be helpful to improve results.
Leak detection is a challenging task, but absolutely necessary due to potential loss of revenue. Water audits aid in determining your system's unaccountable water loss. Proper equipment, survey techniques, and the right technician are imperative to find leaks on the first dig.
