Source Water Protection

Course Overview

This one-day course provides the foundation needed to develop a source water protection plan for your water supply system.

You should take this course if you:

  • Are a small water system owner (including trustees and councilors), operator, water user, or community member interested in protecting the sources of your water supply system.
  • Want to earn CEU credits that can be applied to water or wastewater systems continuing education requirements.

The course is also applicable to larger water supply system owners, operators and users.

You will be asked to complete a knowledge assessment when you register to give the course facilitator an understanding of your acquired knowledge to date.

Learning Objectives

After completing the Source Water Protection course, you will be able to:

  • Create a source water protection plan, including understanding how to create a community planning team, build community support, delineate the source protection area, evaluate assessment tools, and develop and implement an action plan, including emergency response planning.
  • Understand how to use the various assessment tools, including the Source to Tap screening tools, Water Assessment Guide, and Well Protection Toolkit.
  • Identify and assess potential contaminants and risks that can affect source water quality, including pathogens (bacteria, viruses and protozoa), nitrates, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), inorganic chemicals, and endocrine disruptors.

  • 0.6 core CEUs for small water systems, water distribution and water treatment (SWS, WD & WT) EOCP certifications.
  • Related CEUs for small wastewater systems, wastewater collection and wastewater treatment (SWWS, WWC & WWT) EOCP certifications.
