The course is designed for water treatment plant operators and administrators who would be involved with drafting and/or implementing a comprehensive cross-connection control program including an annual testing and tracking program. A hands-on testing workshop will allow students to practice test procedures on the reduced pressure principal assembly, double check valve assembly, and pressure vacuum breaker. ASSE test procedures will be reviewed and taught in the classroom and then put into practice in the Wet Lab.
