Collection Systems Renewal — 12 Contact Hours

Collection Systems Renewal — 12 Contact Hours is a 12-contact-hour refresher for working operators who need focused technical training or documented continuing education. It reviews practical knowledge used in keeping wastewater collection systems flowing safely and reliably from customers to treatment facilities, with clear attention to safe work, dependable service, water quality, and regulatory responsibility.

Major study areas include Collection system components, Gravity sewers and manholes, Lift stations and force mains, Pipe materials and defects, Hydraulic cleaning and jetting, Mechanical cleaning and rodding, CCTV inspection and coding, and Root and grease control.

The course revisits system design, cleaning, inspection, pipeline maintenance, lift stations, testing, rehabilitation, emergency response, confined-space safety, traffic control, and collection-system mathematics at a pace suited to working professionals. Examples and checks reinforce the connection between routine tasks and decisions such as prioritizing maintenance, diagnosing blockages and infiltration, operating lift stations, protecting crews, and responding to overflows and service interruptions.

Training is self-paced and available online during the access period. Your classroom records progress, and a completion certificate is generated after the required lessons and checks are complete. Keep that certificate with your personal renewal documentation.

Contact-hour acceptance, topic limits, and renewal periods vary by credential and agency. Confirm that this course fits the certificate and renewal window you currently hold.
