Description
The USDA Water System Operators Guide is a basic course in the operation of small seasonal drinking water systems. The course includes useful concepts for every small system operator and especially operators that need to startup and shutdown their system seasonally. The simple goal is to help operators keep their drinking water safe and wholesome. Water system operators are the first line of defense against waterborne health risks. People expect water from faucets and hydrants to be safe to drink and it is up to the water system operator to ensure that it is.
