Training Manual for KDHE Operator Certification
The Operator Training Committee of the KsAWWA had developed training manuals to assist with training of operators to receive their Operator Certification from KDHE. When the manuals became outdated the committee also realized that many of the things in the individual manuals pertained to all manuals. The Nebraska subcommittee of the OTC took on the project of rewriting the manual and incorporating everything into one manual.
