44、book Page vii Tuesday, May 17, 2005 6:57 PM. wtoh-4-book.book Page viii Tuesday, May 17, 2005 6:57 PMix Preface The people who operate water treatment plants make an important contribution to the public health of the community in which they work. A safe drinking water supply is essential to all rep

45、resentative groups within the sphere of influence of the treatment plant. Therefore, the water plant operator should be a trained professional who is capable of performing the tasks necessary to provide the safest possible water. “Trained professional”the phrase implies two principles. First, that t

46、his is a person who conforms to technical and ethical standards of a discipline, perhaps on the level of a permanent career. Second, it suggests that this person is trainable and has been trained to perform at a level that leads to professionalism. This book is written with those principles in mind.

47、 There is an ethical paradigm here. Performing the role of water plant operator places a premium on an allegiance to the consumer, the regulator, and the employer. Often, operators believe there is conflict in the demands made on them by the three. There are many operator training programs available

48、 to people in the field, but few of them offer training in ethics. Occasionally, we read about an operator who has made a questionable ethical choice. Public response to these incidents is predictable, and there is a loss of confidence in the drinking water industry as a result. Usually, when operat

49、ors make the right choice, it is a result of their training. Unfortunately, we dont often read about the right choices that were made. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has published guidelines (Fe deral Register 1999) for the certification and qualification of the men and women who operate the water treatment plants in this country. These guidelines provide a legal framework for operator certification, one that underscores the opinions stated above. To add weight to the seriousness of the rule, the USEPA administrator is directed to withhold 20 percent of the funds a s
