STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH January 6, 1966 Supervisor and Town Board Re: Operator Qualifications Town of Queensbury Queensbury Water District R. D. #1 Town of Queensbury Glens Falls, New York Warren County Gentlemen: The qualifications for water treatment plant operators are specified in Part 11 of the State Sanitory Code and a copy of this Part is enclosed for your reference, These requirements vary according to both the type of treatment and the plant capacity. The Queensbury public water supply has a capacity of about 2.7 million gallons perday with an average demand of 0.5 MGD and occasional peaks in the neighborhood of 1.0 MGD during the summer. It is anticipated that the daily demands will increase appreciably as service is extended to the XQute 9 and Bay Road Water Districts - and to other extensions. We note that Mr. Flaherty, your water superintendent, presently holds a GradelII-B certification which is applicable to a plant with a capacity less than 1.0 MGD. The daily demands of the Queensbury plant are expected to exceed this limit in the near future and the actual plant capacity is already greater. It appears, there- fore, that the Queensbury water treatment plant should be under the supervision of a Grade II-B operator. 322 To satisfy the applicable regulations, it is necessary among other things for an operator to attend a Grade II course in water treatment arranged by this Department. Such a-course is schedule for March 28 through April 8, 1966 at Syracuse University. It is strongly recommended that Mr. Flaherty attend this course so that he may be- appropriately certified and afford the Queensbury Queensbury water treatment-plant-properly--qu.ali-f3ed--operation.
