10.5 Operator Training and Support

Information

Communities should consider employees working on the village wastewater systems as important as funding for equipment repair and replacement. Local village leaders must realize that an adequate, well-trained staff is necessary both to provide cost effective O&M of their facilities and to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. Good training will result in substantial payback over the years in terms of well-run facilities. Far-sighted village leaders will make sure that O&M budgets provide adequate funds for staffs to be trained. This may mean sending operators to off-site training events, and paying the cost of course registration as well as travel expenses (NYSDEC, 2007).

 

Another training option is to contract on-site training at the community. It is important to keep in mind that not all required training is technical in nature. Training programs relating to management, supervision, and other important skills, such as accounting, report writing and use of computers, are also important in developing a good management team.
