Comptrain Guide: A Manual for Improving the Performance of Small Water and Wastewater Systems

摘要

The manual is divided into four chapters: project organization, target identification, problem diagnosis, corrective action, and project evaluation. Following the text are substantial attachments containing sample forms, guidelines and procedures that can be used in setting up and carrying out a comptrain effort. The goal of the comptrain project was to field test a method for bringing small water and wastewater treatment plants into compliance with federal-state performance standards. The method involves: intensive, on-site, plant-specific training in equipment operation and process control; community-specific management and financial training; and efforts to bring about policy and program changes leading to improved plant performance.
