• Revised Lead and Copper Rule: Testing at schools and child-care facilities As schools begin returning to session, water utilities across the United States are busy preparing for fall 2024 when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) will require a new level of communication and cooperation with schools and child-care providers. School districts can be great partners, providing utilities a way to tell their water story through public education and inspiring a new generation who may one day be water operators. But schools operate very differently than many government agencies – from their funding sources to staffing and overall culture. Getting ready to be LCRR compliant means water systems must pay special attention to the needs of school districts and how to best collaborate with them.  Water utilities are required to provide schools and child-care facilities with a copy of EPA’s Training, Testing and Taking Action (3T’s) for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care Facilities, as part of the LCRR sampling process. Utilities must sample at least 20% of elementary schools and 20% of child-care facilities in their service areas for the following five ...
• News reports on lead in Detroit schools Water utilities should be aware of current news reports on a decision to shut off access to drinking water in Detroit schools. With the start of the new school year, these stories may prompt questions from media and customers in other communities about lead levels in schools. Water utilities should be prepared to express their commitment to protecting children from lead in drinking water, including describing how they communicate with schools and daycare facilities in their service areas. Key points to elevate include: •    Our first priority as water providers is the protection of public health. •    Lead is typically not found in the water leaving our treatment or traveling through water mains. However, it may be present in school plumbing, as well as drinking water bubblers or coolers. •    Our utility takes the following steps to assist schools in understanding and managing lead risks from drinking water [if applicable, provide examples of letters to school districts, sampling guidance, etc.] •    EPA developed a guidance document titled 3Ts (Training, Testing, Telling) for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools, which outlines ...
• Operator-in-training courses taught in high schools By Ann Espinola Darrell King has a big job. He’s head of the water utility in Evanston, Ill. where he oversees nearly three dozen employees and a treatment plant serving more than 400,000 customers. But he spends every Saturday morning in a North Chicago classroom, where he teaches high school students how to become water treatment operators.   The program is one man’s way of forestalling the impending water sector labor shortage created by Baby Boomer retirements, and giving back to the community where he grew up. It is also among a handful of high school operator-in-training programs throughout the United States. In Texas, for example, water utilities in Irving and Arlington are working with their local school districts to prepare graduating seniors to pass water and wastewater licensing exams. In Portland, Ct., the city, utility and local school district partnered seven years ago to offer an operator course at the high school, but the program was discontinued two years ago during a change in leadership at the utility. The city hopes to start it up again in January.  The Irving program began ...
• Florida Section program preps high schoolers for water treatment jobs So, when he started high school and learned about a program that prepares students for careers as water or wastewater treatment plant operators, it seemed like a natural fit.   “I knew this was a career I wanted to do,” said Schloss (pictured right), who graduated from St. Johns Technical High School in Northeast Florida three years ago and is now a C-licensed wastewater operator at St. Johns County Utilities. “It’s nice knowing you’re doing something good for the environment. And it’s a job most people don’t know much about. They think water goes down the drain or the toilet and that’s the end of it.” The Florida Section of American Water Works Association (FSAWWA) received the 2020 Section Education Award for its High School Academy Program. The need to hire well-trained operators to replace retiring employees is urgent — in AWWA’s 2020 State of the Water Industry, respondents ranked “aging workforce/anticipated retirements” as one of the top 10 challenges facing the water industry. “If we can find people who have already taken courses, taken exams, people who know what they’re getting ...
• Kids safe to sip from school faucets, thanks to CECorps and AWWA section The school serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade and hosts community activities. The water system in the building had intermittently experienced high concentrations of lead in its water supply, which comes from a single well. Samples from specific faucets had lead levels of 40 parts per billion (ppb), exceeding the State of Washington’s lead action level of 15 ppb (90th percentile). A CECorps team of PNWS-AWWA volunteers, led by Lynn Williams Stephens (pictured right) and John Roth (pictured below), visited the site in the fall of 2016 and initiated measures to correct the situation. “We wanted a project that helped a low-income community address a water quality problem and the State of Washington Department of Health referred us to this school,” said Stephens, who works at Brown & Caldwell in Seattle. “I can’t think of a more important place than a school to try to reduce lead exposure. This also opened my eyes to the small-scale water systems I didn’t even know existed.” Volunteers in action The school did not have a full-time water operator and relied on contractors. In 2015, when ...

The United Nations World Water Development Report 2024: Water for prosperity and peace

Water nurtures prosperity by meeting basic human needs, supporting health, livelihoods and economic development, underpinning food and energy security, and defending environmental integrity.

Water influences the economy in many ways, and global trade dynamics and market adaptations can have direct repercussions on the water use of regional and local economies. The water-related impacts of conflict are multi-faceted and often indirect, such as those linked to forced migration and increased exposure to health threats.

Climate change, geopolitical unrest, pandemics, mass migration, hyperinflation and other crises can exacerbate water access inequalities. In nearly all cases, the poorest and most vulnerable groups are those that suffer the greatest risks to their well-being.

The 2024 edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report (UN WWDR )calls attention to the complex and interlinked relationships between water, prosperity and peace, describing how progress in one dimension can have positive, often essential, repercussions on the others.

Regional, rural and urban development

The OECD helps all subnational regions to become more equitable, inclusive and resilient by prioritising well-being. Our work addresses global trends like climate change, digitalisation, migration, jobs and demographic shifts by applying a local lens. Using a place-based approach and OECD regional data, we help improve lives for people, places and firms at the local level.

Select a language

Policy issues.

• Local employment and economic development Regions and cities need more and better-quality jobs. The twin green and digital transitions, along with demographic change, are transforming the way we work and redefining local economies and communities. Seizing new opportunities and responding to these changes demands innovative solutions, support for small businesses, and investment in communities, alongside efforts to upskill the workforce to better match job demands. The OECD provides expertise in developing and implementing policies and local initiatives aimed at creating more and better jobs leading to tangible results for local economic development. Learn more
• Multi-level governance Multi-level governance refers to the system that supports policy and decision-making among national, regional, and local governments. When these levels of government work well together, policies are more likely to succeed, fostering development in all places. The OECD actively supports effective decentralisation and regionalisation reforms, as well as the strategic planning, implementation and performance measurement of regional policies at all levels of government. Learn more
• Regional development Quality regional development policy is essential for inclusive economic outcomes, well-being, environmental sustainability, and resilience. Regions, cities and rural areas play a crucial role in responding to megatrends including climate change, digitalisation, demographic shifts, and globalisation, which have very different effects within OECD countries. At the same time, regions within OECD countries vary widely in their social and economic structure, performance, and well-being. This diversity calls for a place-based approach to regional development, tailored to the needs and assets of each area. Learn more
• Rural development A thriving rural community relies on factors such as quality services, accessible education and healthcare, environmental amenities, business opportunities, and strong social trust. The OECD analyzes and adapts policies, working closely with member countries, to address diverse rural challenges, to strengthen economies and support inhabitants while guiding governments in implementing effective rural development policies. Learn more
• Subnational finance and investment Subnational governments are key policy actors, accounting for about 40% of total public expenditure and 55% of total public investment on average in OECD countries. Subnational governments are also key public employers, representing more than 60% of public staff expenditure on average in the OECD. Learn more
• Urban development and cities We work to improve quality of life and achieve more inclusive societies in cities of all sizes, while addressing a range of issues – from managing urban expansion and encouraging innovation to driving the digital, climate and demographic transitions. Learn more

Programmes of work

• Rethinking regional attractiveness The OECD Rethinking Regional Attractiveness programme helps policy makers understand how regions can better attract talent, investors, and visitors in today’s changing world and supports the implementation of relevant attractiveness policies. Learn more
• OECD Trento Centre for Local Development The OECD Trento Centre for Local Development works "from data to practice" to provide strategic advice and capacity building to enhance local policy implementation. Building on the granular analysis of our Spatial Productivity Lab and leveraging Trento and other communities as "living labs", we have been developing innovative and effective approaches to local development for over 20 years. Learn more
• Local Employment and Economic Development Programme (LEED) We offer best practice on how to create more and better quality jobs through effective policy implementation and local initiatives. Learn more
• Peer-learning for local and regional actors Local policy makers and practitioners benefit from meeting with their peers on what works and why. We provide a forum to facilitate peer-learning and capacity building around local employment and economic development. Learn more
• Local Skills Policies Local skills systems connect local employers, workers, government, social and economic partners, universities and training providers to support growth, innovation and better jobs. We support building stronger skills systems where local employers find the talent they seek and individuals have access to life-long learning opportunities. Learn more
• Local Employment Policies Local employment systems offer efficient matching of employers and workers at the local level. In our work, we review how employment systems can be best geared to local needs through active labour market policies sensitive to local needs and their integration with other local services.

The Nature of Water Sci. 5.1

Water is weird • Is liquid at room temp. (not a gas) • Solid water floats in liquid water • Lots of heat needed to change temp.

H2O NH3 O2 H2S N2 CO2 CH4

Exists on earth in all 3 states (phases) • Solid (ice) • Liquid (water) • Gas (water vapor)

Latent heat of fusion • Energy required for change between liquid and solid • 335 joules per gram (J/g) Heat in Heat out

Melting (freezing) point: • 0° C (32° F) Heat absorbed in J A: Rise in temp. as ice absorbs heat. B: Absorption of latent heat of fusion. C: Rise in temp.as liquid water absorbs heat.

Latent heat of vaporization • Energy required to change between liquid and gas • 2,260 J/g Heat in Heat out

Boiling point: • 100° C (212° F) Amount of heat absorbed in joules A: Rise in temp. as ice absorbs heat. B: Absorption of latent heat of fusion. C: Rise in temp.as liquid water absorbs heat. D: Water boils and absorbs latent heat of vaporization. E: Steam absorbs heat and temp. increases

Sublimation: • Changing directly from solid to gas Dry ice (Solid CO2)

Deposition: • Gas directly to solid

Changing states Heat flowing into or out of water? blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah solid liquid vapor blah blah Direction of heat flow?

Changing states Heat from environment, into water sublimation melting evaporation freezing condensation solid liquid vapor deposition Heat out of water, into environment

Molecular structure of H2O • a polar molecule • O end –charge, H ends +charges   

H (hydrogen) bonds • Weak bonds between H on one molecule and O of another (can form between other compounds too) • Makes water “sticky” (liquid at room temp.)

Cohesion: • H2O molecules sticking to each other

Adhesion: • H2O sticking to other things

Question 10

Density: (generally) • Amount of mass per volume • As temp. , density 

Question 11

Density differences in oceans • Can cause major currents • less dense = more buoyant salinity differences temp. differences

Question 12

H2O called “the universal solvent” (not everything) • lots of things dissolve in H2O

Question 13

Ice • Molecules take up more room (solid floats) • Because of H bonds Liquid Ice (2 layers of molecules)

most dense least dense

It’s possible to melt ice by increasing the pressure on it without increasing temperature ice 28°F Thin layer of liquid water

Presentation of the AWSS Technical Plan to Solve the RWZI Issues

ORANJESTAD – Aruba Waste Water Solutions (AWSS) unveiled its technical proposal for the water treatment plant (RWZI) construction on July 4, 2024.  

Because the problem of untreated water has not been addressed adequately for decades, it marks a historic event for our island.   

The water treatment systems that function beyond their capacity are a direct menace to our tourism sector, environment, and economy. After the law passed to delegate the management of the plant to a private entity, the newly established company moved quickly to take the first steps.

Now the AWSS has a qualified team to implement the plan. The Ministries of Nature, Energy, and General Affairs, respectively, wish AWSS much success in their undertakings. The Minister of Transport, Integrity, Nature, and Elderly Affairs thanks Mr. Jossy Figaroa, who led the committee in charge of the privatization of the RWZI. In addition, he thanks the Director of the Department of Public Works, Marlon Croes, and the Director of Utilities, Aruba, Tom Rojer, for their dedication to this project.

On June 28, 2024, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 7040 into law, which updates Florida's stormwater rules and design criteria to protect the state’s waterways.  

Under the new rule, applicants for stormwater management systems will continue to have flexibility to choose from a range of design options, including a variety of best management practices, when designing systems to meet the performance-based design criteria. 

The amendments to this rule will also ensure that future permitted systems will be better maintained. Operation and maintenance entities will be required to have estimates for the expected routine maintenance costs and to certify that they have the financial capability to maintain the stormwater system over time. The rule will also provide for more consistent oversight through a required periodic inspection routine and reporting on the inspection results to the permitting agency. 

How the Rule Works:

Rule Language/Updated Forms: 

• Chapter 62-330 Florida Administrative Code   (updated) .
• Applicant's Handbook Volume I   (updated) .
• Applicant's Handbook Volume I Comparison Document Detailing Rule Revisions . 

New Forms:  

• Form 62-330.301(25), Dam System Information. 
• Form 62-330.301(26), Financial Capability Certification. 
• Form 62-330.311(1), Operation and Maintenance Certification. 
• Form 62-330.311(2), Transfer to Operation and Maintenance Entity.
• Form 62-330.311(3), Inspection Checklist.
• Form 62-330.311(4), Condition Assessment Report for Florida Dams.

Applicant's Handbook Volume IIs: 

   NWFWMD            SJRWMD             SRWMD            SWFWMD               SFWMD

Implementation Timeline: 

*Rule revisions took effect June 28, 2024, pursuant to section 120.54(3)(e)6., Florida Statutes.​  

**New conceptual approval permits (issued after the effective date of the rule revisions) will have to reflect the provisions for grandfathering of performance criteria based on the criteria that would apply for the time of application completeness for the individual construction phase permit.

Additional Resources: 

Dam System Requirements: 

Dam Systems are a critical part of Florida's infrastructure for stormwater and surface water management. Criteria specific to dams are intended to reduce the risk of structural failure and improper operation, and consequences from flooding that would cause loss of human life or adverse impacts on economic, environmental or lifeline interests.

Appendix L contains the criteria that apply to the construction of new dams or alteration of an existing dam, as required in the applicable Applicant's Handbook Volume IIs (linked above). These criteria are intended to reduce potential damage from floods, to reduce degradation of water resources from uncontrolled releases of stormwater and to otherwise promote the safety of dams regulated under this chapter.
