Due to the threat to public health posed by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) it was necessary to cancel/postpone the Basic Wastewater Treatment Course that was to be held in Huron SD on March 24-26. We will try to reschedule that course in June of this year.

 

As for future certification courses, the decision to cancel will be made the week prior to the exam dates. However, we are working on a system to offer online training. For those individuals who have registered and provided a viable email address, you will receive a notice of how to register for the online class and where you can download the course materials.

 

The first opportunity to use the online training will be for the Basic Water Treatment Course scheduled to be held April 7-9 if we need to cancel that course you will be notified. This course is currently scheduled to be held at the Ramkota Inn in Sioux Falls.

 

Online classes will start at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday and end at approximately 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday and noon on Thursday.  These online courses will be held on the same dates as the original course.

 

The email you receive will give you a link that will take you automatically to the website where you will have access to the class. You will most likely have to download an app on your phone or tablet or download the software extension if using a computer.

 

It is very IMPORTANT that if you want to be included in this online training that you register on our website and give us a viable email address.

 

If the need arises to postpone or cancel a class you will be notified via email.

 

If you are unable to attend your exam session you may contact Rob Kittay with SD DENR at 605-773-3754 or rob.kittay@state.sd.us and make arrangements to reschedule your exam or refund your exam fee.

 

 

Take everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs.

•  Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care. (Your fever should be gone for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. After using a tissue, throw it in the trash and wash your hands.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like flu.
