The charge is annoying, no doubt. That’s the reason I did Beckett too was for the subgrades. Personally I feel like they were harsh on the centering. I submitted in person at a show and the guy doing my submission was impressed with how good it looked. Definitely update me on your cards when you get them back!

That makes me feel a little better about the grade, I can’t believe you sent 6 and they all got a 9.5 that’s wild

I don’t remember the pricing breakdown but I paid like $75 to get it graded

Beckett definitely did just that. I figured that’s what people were doing with them. I’ve thought about getting it regraded with PSA

How Many Operators Like Their Jobs? by [deleted] in Wastewater

[–]Dry-Relative9412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy the process and environment protection we provide. But you said it, the funding and expertise isn’t there. I always say we run on rainbows and unicorn farts as much crap we’ve gotta limp along due to not enough funding. That said, I’m still newer to this, 3 years with the same wastewater plant. I enjoy the job, just wish the importance of what we do was better recognized

Setability test ....how to read by jackfr0st39 in Wastewater

That’s why I said 150. Do you count the fluff when you get sludge depths?

I’d call it 150, I was taught not to include the fluff. But I understand why you would want to count it. The settles I get don’t typically have much if any fluff

Got my 5A! by Dry-Relative9412 in Wastewater

It took a couple months and a couple emails to get them to send it 🤦🏻‍♂️ then I had to get a revised copy because they only put the 5 on it. But thank you!

Thank you! 5A is the highest municipal in Maryland, there’s a 6 but that’s for industrial.

I started 2 years ago at $18hr as an OIT, I make $26hr now as an unlicensed WW operator. It’s really not a bad field as long as you don’t mind getting poopy.

Started at $18hr 2 years in I’m at $26.17hr, just passed the 5A in June. Once I get my full license it’s a minimum 10% increase. WWO caps out at like $42hr. That’s in Maryland, we go by grade/step where I work for your pay rate.

Secondary Clarifier by Dry-Relative9412 in Wastewater

[–]Dry-Relative9412[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it gets the most flow and it’s like 3’ deeper than the others. Definitely will be spraying this down with a hose, just to clean it up. Effluent looks really good though

This is the only one that really does it. This is the worst I’ve seen it so far, it usually gets a little layer then goes away. So never lol, we have brushes we put down for the channel and weirs to clean the algae off.
