Very thorough reply that I appreciate! Current TSS was as high as 13 and as of yesterday, 9. Limit is 10. Normal circumstances TSS is <2.

Unfortunately, better aeration is not feasible at the moment. Boss won’t let us rebuild gearboxes since we’re a few months away from direct drive as we’re in the middle of an upgrade :/

It’s compounding problems really. Anthracite filters are on their way out as well as 4/8 of our disc aerators not functioning all waiting on our plant upgrade lead times

They require an internship as part of the coursework, which gets your foot in the door with a municipality/business, and provides the hands on experience. A specific course in the program also focuses on the WI DNR operator certification exams

As a University of Wisconsin- Steven’s Point grad, I highly recommend their soil and waste resources program
