The department will continue to encourage attendance on a voluntary basis at management training sessions by board members/council members/mayors/owners of other public water systems. Training sessions shall be provided periodically and appropriate parties as noted above will have the opportunity to attend one of the scheduled sessions within six months after the system has been notified that is it being evaluated for technical\, managerial\, and financial capacity.” \n!!Attention Operators!!!: At least one Decision Maker (mayor\, board president\, or council member/board member) from the water/wastewater system must be present for the operator of that system to receive recertification credit hours.  \nPlease understand you must scan your name badge (in/out) when you enter/depart the classroom.  Take time to look at the screen to make sure your name pops up when you are scanning.  If it does not please go to the LRWA registration desk to receive assistance.  LRWA is not responsible for you scanning in/out to receive the correct hours.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row visibility=”hidden”][vc_column]NEW Option Added3 Hr Lead Service Inventory WorkshopThursday\, October 19 from 1:00pm-4:00pm[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row visibility=”hidden”][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have added this option for preparation in completing the Lead Service Line Inventory requirements of the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR). \n1. What is a service line inventory?\nAs part of the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR)\, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that all community water systems (CWS) and non-transient non-community water systems (NTNCWS) develop an inventory of all service line connections\, regardless of ownership. Systems must prepare and submit an initial service line inventory that includes the system-owned and customer-owned portions of all service lines in the system’s distribution system to the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) by October 16\, 2024.  \nA service line is the pipe that connects water mains to buildings to supply potable water for domestic use and sometimes to supply fire protection systems\, irrigation or emergency connections. The service line may be owned by the water system\, the property owner\, or both. \n2. Who is required to complete a service line inventory?\nAll community water systems (CWSs) and non-transient non-community water systems (NTNCWSs) must prepare an inventory of ALL service lines (including those not in use) connected to the distribution system. \n3. When is the service line inventory required?\nAll initial service line inventories must be submitted to LDH by the compliance deadline of October 16\, 2024. \nThis session has been approved by LDH for 4 hours of operator credits in both Water & Wastewater.  Please understand you must scan your name badge (in/out) when you enter/depart the classroom.  Take time to look at the screen to make sure your name pops up when you are scanning.  If it does not\, please go to the LRWA registration desk to receive assistance.  LRWA is not responsible for missed scans.[/vc_column_text]Lead Service Line Inventory FAQ [/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]32 Hour Certification ClassesMonday\, October 14; Tuesday\, October 15; Wednesday\, October 16; and Thursday\, October 17 (8am-5pm)[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1727712743923{background-color: #edddc4 !important;border-radius: 2px !important;}”]\nWater Certification Training \n(Production\, Treatment\, & Distribution ) \nInstructor:  Curtis Davis (Level 1 & 2 A)\nLDH Course Approval #67768 \nInstructor:  Richard “Rick” Buckner (Level 1 & 2 B)\nLDH Course Approval #68125 \nInstructor: Vern Breland (Level 3 & 4)\nLDH Course Approval #67769 \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1723211236115{background-color: #edddc4 !important;border-radius: 2px !important;}”]\nWastewater Certification Training\n(Collection & Treatment) \nInstructor:  Scott Finney (Level 1 & 2)\nLDH Course Approval #67766 \nInstructor: Hubert Franklin III (Level 3 & 4)\nLDH Course Approval #67767 \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Water Level 1 & 2 Certification Class update: Unfortunately\, Dennis McGehee\, our scheduled instructor\, is no longer available to provide the instruction due to unforeseen circumstances.

If you send a pre-registration\, do not pay\, and do not attend the conference without calling to cancel we will invoice a No-Show Administrative charge of $100.  This is because of the expenses we incurred for the registration.  This is like a doctor’s office charging an appointment no-show fee.
