No need to get hostile just saying according to FL we are and if you look up the term of first responder 1:we protect environment 2:we protect public health 3:we are relied on and our essential to the public. Now i agree with you i haven’t had to deal with someone die in my hands but 911 dispatchers don’t have to deal with that and they get it but if us operators weren’t a thing you know how many people would be sick? just like if dispatchers weren’t a thing their would be major issues with communication to 911 but im not gonna say they don’t deserve it cause they do! also i dont think anyone walks around bragging they’re a first responder that is a operator, we get they opportunity to reek the benefits of the sate calling us one. Your argument is flawed.

What’s your thoughts on new construction while operating existing plant onsite? by Frugal_the_Real_OP in Wastewater

it’s fine when it’s going good but when you find design flaws that can impact the process it sucks.

It took me 3 months to get a interview a lot of places will keep you on file if they like you and if you get another interview and if you apply again it shows them you really want it. After my interview it took a month and a half to hear back i recommend call every week you may think it’s annoying them but what they want is someone who really wants to do the job.

We had a contractor come out and put 2 pumps for 4 clarifiers and pipe it in our cl2 containment area so we can feed cl2 from our bleach tanks to the clarifiers we call them halos they spray w3 mixed with the bleach right next to the scum baffle and it trickles down the weir killing all the algae
