Many of you reading this blog…wait a minute…the FEW of you reading this blog might have an interest in the wonderful world of water. After all, the main reason for me starting this blog was to pass along information to people either in the water industry or wanting to break into the industry. There are a number of ways to find information out about any topic you want since the advent of the Internet. Typically when people are asked a question they don’t know the answer to, they say…”just Google it!” However, with the plethora of information on the web, it can become overwhelming for some to sift through the millions of links in order to find information that is factual and valuable. This blog is designed to help you filter out the…uh um…dirty water!
Regulations, Distribution and Treatment Operator Information
An excellent starting point for regulatory information is the Water Programs page of the California Department of Public Heath (http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/Pages/DWP.aspx). This page will have everything you need to know about the State’s certification program and any drinking water related regulations. At the top of the page, the State lists several quick links. I typically visit the Operator Certification and Regulations and Statues pages.
Jobs, jobs, jobs!
Water person doesn’t want to know about jobs? The number one site for water jobs in the Brown and Caldwell Water Jobs page! You can sign up to receive daily emails from Brown and Caldwell regarding water news. When you sign up, you can select a specific location to receive your updates about (i.e., Southern California). In the daily emails you will also find various water industry related jobs. However, there are all sorts of jobs listed that are within the water industry, but may not be specifically related to water. Remember, accounting, customer service, safety, are all fields that may not be industry specific.
