Clear Water Legacy
Training Philosophy
Clear Water Legacy is aware that water system operators must be both competent and comfortable in their roles. Operators engage in an impressive variety of inspection and maintenance activities in any normal day of water system operation.
It is vital that each system operator has a clear understanding of the impact all of those activities upon the physical water system, upon water quality within the pipes, and upon the health and economy of all water system customers.
Clear Water Legacy training curricula stress repeatedly that all operational activities impose adjustments to the steady state water system.
These adjustments must be understood by authorized system operators and managed to ensure that no harm comes to the operator, the water system, the conveyed water quality, the water consumer, or the reputation of the water authority.
Clear Water Legacy delivers training at the facilities where water operators work. Having operators train in the comfort of their own work environment eliminates travel fatigue, fleet vehicle usage and other off-site training expenses to the water authority.
On-site training also permits supervisors to attend the same classes as their staff, something that is greatly encouraged.
This ‘close-to-home’ training format also permits water systems the option of ‘hosting’ training events by inviting operators from nearby systems to participate.
Hosted training events help establish better links and greater support and cooperation among neighbouring water systems.
