VSS, D1, & T1 Certification Exam Preparatory Course: 3-Day

Approximately 90% of New England's drinking water systems - about 10,000 systems - are Small Systems and Very Small Systems (VSS); most Small and Very Small Systems use ground water sources. Small Public Water Systems provide drinking water to less than 3,300 people while Very Small Systems provide drinking water to less than 500 people.

The purpose of our VSS, D1, & T1 Certification Exam Preparatory Course is to familiarize students with the Small Water System and Very Small Water System field and teach the responsibilities of certified drinking water operators. This class covers the following topics: water quality sampling, wells and their source protection, water pipes, storage tanks, hydrants, valves, meters, water treatment, how to create reports, and Massachusetts drinking water regulations. We will show you how to use basic math formulas to calculating water storage, pressure, flow, and water usage. This class will get you prepared to pass the VSS, D1, and T1 exams. You will also earn 18 TCH credits for Water Operators.

This is a three-day class and students are strongly encouraged to attend all classes. Each class will be held in person.
