Drinking water regulations and the roles and responsibilities of operators of drinking water facilities will be explored from a public health perspective. Sources of water as well as chemical, physical and microbial contaminants in water and water quality characteristics will be discussed. Sampling, analysis, disinfection and risk-management procedures will be covered. The course will provide a solid foundation of knowledge and understanding for water operators, and allow them to write the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) "Entry-Level Drinking Water Operators" exam.
