Happy #TrainingTuesday! Join RCAC for a FREE online training on public notification for small utilities! Here’s some insight from the trainer: “If the drinking water supply becomes contaminated, our customers can become seriously ill or die. Therefore, state and federal laws require water systems to notify customers any time a problem with drinking water poses a health risk. If you are new to the water industry, or just would like a refresher on the requirements of public notification, this training is for you!” Register here: https://lnkd.in/gQ3npNK8 #freetraining #watermanagement #watersytems

Congratulations to the following employees who successfully completed Kruger’s Backflow Tester Training Course and Exam in June: - Tesia DeCouto (Maintenance Dept) - Edward Grabowski (Maintenance Dept) - Brandon Koerner (Maintenance Dept) - Jason Meszaros (Maintenance Dept) - Anthony Romano (Maintenance Dept) - Joseph Frizalone (Lines and Meters Dept) - Cody Toth (Lines and Meters Dept) - Ryan O’Steen (Lines and Meters Dept) - Raymond Kuchta (Sayreville Pump Station) - Steve Dyas (Duophase Dept) This comprehensive 32-hour course provided thorough classroom instruction focused on the critical topic of Backflow Prevention. Ensuring clean water lines remain free from contaminants is paramount in safeguarding public health. Backflow, where polluted water reverses its flow into clean water lines through cross-connections, poses serious risks. Factors such as sudden changes in water pressure can trigger Backflow, potentially introducing hazardous substances like human waste, pesticides, or chemicals into the water supply. This training holds particular significance in environments like Wastewater Treatment, where maintaining water purity is essential for community health and safety. #njutilities #nj #eastbrunswicknj #Utilities #WastewaterManagement #Solidwastemanagement #MCUA #Sayreville #UtilitiesAuthority #NewJersey #Middlesexcounty #eastbrunswick #BackflowPrevention #backflowtesting #Backflow #Education #Courses

Why does Milwaukee lead the nation in childhood lead poisoning? In th city of Springfield Ohio there are about 40 properties marked as being hazardous due to lead by the Ohio Department of Health, and almost 1,200 statewide where children were lead poisoned and property owners failed to correct lead hazards. In Milwaukee the health department calculated more than 4000 children poisoned in almost 8000 homes annually. More has to be done to identify and map these homes to allow parents to take action to protect their children. The city has abated lead contamination in thousands of homes in the city but this abatement usually leaves significant amounts of lead sources in the home. Most abatement projects are only adequate for two years. More has to be done to bring these projects in line with state law regarding “continuing obligations” for contaminated sites to ensure these homes do not poison again. #Milwaukee #leadpoisoning #environmentaljustice

PSM Positives or Perils? Which Limerick to you prefer? Bill Timbers, P.Eng., P.E. There once was a plant with PSM plans, Ensuring safety across all its spans, With workers well-trained, And risks all contained, It thrived within protective hands. +++ OR? --- There once was a plant without PSM, Where safety was quite the problem. With risks left unchecked, And workers perplexed, Disaster was always their emblem. === Bill Timbers, P.Eng., P.E.
