摘要:

This article presents suggestions for using spare time productively during slow times at the treatment plant. These activities include: education and training such as the reading of professional journals, viewing educational videotapes, and conducting classes for the local citizenry who are interested in the water industry; community service such as conducting tours of the plant, and sponsoring science projects; and plant maintenance such as detailed record keeping.

摘要:

The City of Columbus (Ohio) Water Division has developed a device, called a leak checker, which uses pressure readings to determine whether leaks and causes of inadequate pressure occur in the utility's or the customer's area of responsibility. The leak checker is a standard meter jumper with a gate valve and a cut‐in tee for a pressure gauge. In addition to finding leaks, the leak checker can also determine if adequate flow is available through the customer's service. The device takes approximately 30‐45 minutes to build and costs $40.00.

摘要:

This article discusses the role of the full‐service distributor in the equipment‐purchasing process. A full‐service distributor will often uncomplicate purchasing by: having a preselection of product lines; offering sales services, support services, parts services, and financing services such as a choice between renting, leasing, or buying equipment.

摘要:

The City of Loveland Water Treatment Plant in Loveland, Colorado has developed a method of scheduling 24‐hour shifts which combines the best of both the rotating‐shift and 12‐hour shift schedules. By simply eliminating rotating shifts this alternate schedule solves most problems associated with traditional 8‐hour schedules. With the alternate schedule, operators work 8 hours a day, but always on the same shift and on the same days of the week. The work week is designed to allow weekend coverage of the plant without constant juggling of the schedule. It also eliminates problems of fatigue and overtime pay that may be involved in a 12‐hour schedule. Six operators are needed to provide coverage for the plant. Two operators are assigned to each shift. Three days a week the two operators work together, and four days a week they work alone. An example schedule is provided.
