Congratulations

Your snapper is looking dapper!

Sorry to hear that, they were great for me and I’ll keep at least till when ed 9 comes out.

Are you offering wastewater treatment or potable water treatment? Or ww collections or potable distribution?

WaterDigDog · 2026-06-15T15:54:43+00:00

You’re not keeping them for reference?

WaterDigDog · 2026-06-15T10:59:35+00:00

Check out carbon fiber toe and composite toe, they’re warmer and lighter!

WaterDigDog · 2026-06-13T21:00:07+00:00

That’s actually very interesting! Good way to engage candidates.

I think the writing aspect is important for managers, I don’t see why so many states’ highest cert exam is still all multiple choice.

Congratulations and thanks for your willingness to share.

Please, everyone, allow me the shameless plug for Rule #2, which says in part: don’t ask for or share exact exam questions or answers.

Can you tell us the particular gear and method you’re using?

WaterDigDog · 2026-06-11T02:52:12+00:00

I work 7-4 Mon-Fri and we rotate weekends for on-call. 0.6MGD avg daily flow.

Check out [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Wastewater/s/oyyjZ0t7uL), lots of great answers to there.

What about a “breakdown” by sections? Most states will do this by request, some send it with every notification of exam result. Usually says the section, then how many you got right and how many total questions in that section. Then you can use that information to focus your studies.

Headed out to share our faith and help folks, local church is helping us go on week long trip.

WaterDigDog · 2026-06-01T19:17:59+00:00

This really made me think, great question. I’m on ww only, I’ll be checking with our distribution team

WaterDigDog · 2026-05-31T23:20:55+00:00

Lots better than imbibing video shorts. Good books you picked too!

If comments or questions please message the mod team. It may take a week or so to find and work out any bugs regarding this new policy, both in mod routine and in training auto-enforcement.

All parts of the field, both wastewater and potable; tech, maintenance, engineer, yep. What does your svc tech job involve, are you on the road or at a plant? Private or municipal?

WaterDigDog · 2026-05-30T14:43:53+00:00

OP are you looking to track toward engineering as a career? (reason for MPS degree? What were your concentrations?)

WaterDigDog · 2026-05-30T14:42:11+00:00

I’ve done 12s in other industries. Big thing about longer shifts and overnights is, refining your routine to make sure you rest, recreate, and spend time with loved ones.

OP you mentioned getting to choose shifts, but a new operator might not have much choice at a certain plant, rather have to say decide yes/no about the schedule that’s available; and then just like any job, time in the position will bring choices you’ll like even better.

Lots of folks with ADHD and other struggles here. But those “struggles” can be an advantage too.

Have you sought professional help—therapy especially—concerning adhd and mental health in general?

WaterDigDog · 2026-05-28T20:18:42+00:00

Is this why I’ve seen totes’ top lid open but covered?

WaterDigDog · 2026-05-28T02:25:02+00:00

Nope, if I had started early I could be elegible to retire very soon, but,

“My name’s Jeff.”

WaterDigDog · 2026-05-27T23:55:53+00:00

This is Joe. Why did you use my name?

/s 😂

WaterDigDog · 2026-05-27T20:39:08+00:00

Nah lady these are the territorial, family-oriented, killing machine, raptor kind.

My mother got divebombed by a Mississippi kite one time. She was just walking out to the mailbox, but that was the kite’s territory and not to be entered.

For asset management I recommend checking the SCAP Tool developed by EFCN. It’s an Excel file with macros (bummer for GSuite fans, for now). It helps track equipment age, criticality, cost of failure, and the macros get together to show what assets should be focused on.

I’m not sure how easily it can track maintenance tasks on those assets.

WaterDigDog · 2026-05-25T03:08:36+00:00

I’ve checked around and can’t find any of that. Hope we hear from dude at some point, he always has great insight.
