Full Description: This course is designed to make the student aware of the importance of pre-planning water sources and operations for rural water supply tanker transfers prior to the need arising. This course covers the following components: safe tanker operations, driving, filling and dumping; compare and contrast tanker design and efficiency; recognizing proper water sources; evaluating and developing proper dump sites; and organizing mutual aid for tanker task force concepts.
These components are met through the following course goals and objectives: identify apparatus requirements for a water shuttle; identify the requirements for setting up a shuttle operation; describe fill and dump site operations for a water shuttle; describe how to evaluate tanker performance; and demonstrate tanker operation in practical evolutions. On the final day of class students will incorporate information given and resources provided to supply a continuous 750 gallon per minute flow rate of water for a minimum of two hours. Successful application of the course information may lead to the enhancement of the ISO rating for your community. Completion of this course allows for students to apply for “Tanker Operator” Certification if currently certified as a Pump Operator.
