You sound like "Tickle, the QA guy"
:tequila

It's definitely the only job I've had that encourages drinking!

Hi Guy

Tell me what you are looking for and I can probably give you a hand. I was the director of a 24 mgd sewage treatment plant (got there hands on) for 28 yrs and a certified waste water operator (4A- highest in NY) and certified NYSDEC wastewater certification instructor. Don't have much water treatment experience but am familiar with the principals. Actually is a very good field to get into.

Just looking for information to prepare me for the interview/knowledge test. What kind of lab tests are performed, etc. Just wanting to go in there as prepared as I possibly can.

I'm mainly just tired of production, the ever changing schedules, night shift, etc.

Tried to pm you but could not thus I'll post here
Hi:
I don't know if this will help or not

Standard Methods for the examination of water and waste water contains all the accepted laboratory procedures. Testing that you may be asked about include Biochemical oxygen Demand (BOD), total coliform bacteria, total fecal coliform, Total Solids, suspended solids, dissolved solids, Alkalinity, chemical oxygen demand, Types of sampling-grab, flow weighted or time weighted composites, chlorine demand, residual and dosage,pH, chemical dosing -finding proper amount of chemical to add. There are many other tests but these are the most frequently used in water and wastewater.
pm me if you need any clarification or other questions

I asked my friend's wife if she still had any connections with Lakeland Water, but she said it's been 15 years since she worked there! Time flies, but I didn't realize it had been that long ago. I forgot she quit when my friend went into private practice (lawyer) and she was running his office.

Good luck with the interview!
