The Water Treatment Program is designed to prepare students for careers in the public health field of drinking water treatment. This program is also designed to enable those already working in the field to upgrade their skills. Subjects addressed include water quality and public health regulations, conventional water treatment processes, advanced water treatment processes, drinking water disinfection practices, and related water mathematics and hydraulic principles.
It is estimated that there will be approximately 25 - 40 students enrolled in each of the Water and Wastewater Technology courses. The projected number of students to earn a certificate annually is 20 to 25 students.
