Our inspectors have the right training and equipment to get your job done safely

2019 – Course Dates: 8/2/19 and 10/11/19

The Environmental Training Institute at UT Arlington is offering a new course from a different point of view.  WTR 308 Water Storage Inspection Techniques is a 16hr class designed to give you a good understanding of how to safely inspect and document potable water storage tanks and towers.  I was contracted to develop the course earlier this year and now I have also been hired to be the instructor.  I will be taking a look at the safety concerns of working at height and in confined spaces.  We will review what the key inspection points are, high-tech inspection tools and the best ways to document what you find.  The class is now listed in the Environmental Training Institute Summer Catalog and online at:

The inspection and cleaning of water storage tanks is important to the health of a water system and important to people who drink from it.

 

The Ron Perrin Clean Water Tank Project, Inc. is now designated as a 501 (c) 3 by the Internal Revenue Service and has been Incorporated by the Texas Secretary of State as a Nonprofit Corporation.

November 7th, 2014, Ginger Allen and the CBS 11 i-Team watches as my company inspects and cleans a north Texas water tower. The tower was cleaned as a normal maintenance procedure. A light- brown dusting of sediment was removed from the interior floor before it could get deep enough to support bacteria and become a problem.

The tower was cleaned by a Commercial Diver who was trained at OCEAN CORP, Houston, Texas. The Diver is sealed in his own environment, then washed down with a chlorine solution. Because we specialize in the inspection and cleaning of Potable Water Storage Facilities, all of our equipment is purchased for, and only used in, potable water.

This utility is doing a great job of maintaining their system. However, utility managers across the country struggle to get the funds to properly maintain their systems. The EPA is currently considering a regulation that would require all water storage facilities to be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals. This new requirement could improve the water quality for millions of Americans.

The EPA is taking comments on this proposed regulation until the end of the year. We have the contact information posted on our blog, or you can just take our poll at: www.cleanwatertankproject.com. The poll results will be turned in to the EPA at the end of the year.

The state form for water tank inspections meets the minimum requirements for documenting annual potable water tank inspections in the State of Texas. Our pre-paid service allows you to get a professional inspection but only pay for the type of documentation you want. All inspections start with the basics. Simply click the “Add to cart” button under the type of tank you need inspected, then select the quantity you need in the shopping cart. Our inspections document all exterior inspection points with photos as well as the interior roof that is a critical inspection point. Video is also shot of the interior roof, and underwater areas documenting the floor of the tank.
This allows the inspector to view the floor of the tank to determine if there is sediment and if so how much with no disruption to your water system.
