Communities are finding it more and more complicated to stay in compliance with Iowa Department of Natural resources regulations governing community water and wastewater facilities. Water and wastewater facilities must be sampled and tested on regular basis. Reports must be filed with Iowa’s Department of Natural Resources. Records must be carefully kept. Perhaps the most expensive requirement now facing communities is the IDNR requirement that water and wastewater operators be certified. Many communities, even if they can find a certified individual, cannot afford to employ an operator full-time.
Kuehl and Payer’s Water and Wastewater Operator Services provide a solution to those concerns. For a reasonable monthly fee, Kuehl and Payer, Ltd. will manage the community system under our “affidavit operator” service program. Certified operators manage the community system by monitoring its water and wastewater facilities so the community will stay compliant with IDNR regulations. They also make regularly scheduled visits to your facility to oversee and review daily operations being handled by on-site staff. The contract operators conduct sampling and work with testing laboratories to analyze sample results, prepare and file necessary reports with IDNR and maintain a file of all records, attend and facilitate IDNR inspections. The operators also attend city council meetings and report to city councils (or other governing groups) to keep them informed of operations, problems, or to alert them to required maintenance actions. Kuehl & Payer, Ltd operators also provide water sytems valve exercising services to improve the maintenance and life of these crucial water system controls.
The Kuehl and Payer, Ltd. water and wastewater management service provides communities the benefits of a certified professional operator, backed by the experience and knowledge of Kuehl and Payer’s professional environmental engineers.
