Rocky Mountain Section AWWA is offering a 1-day classroom style workshop overviewing CDPHE Regulation 11, section 11.28 regarding the Storage Tank Rule. Our Water Distribution committee has provided training on this rule previously when it was announced in 2016, and are providing this refresher, with new updates for annual and comprehensive storage tank inspections from industry professionals. 

Representatives from KLM Engineering, CDPHE, DN Tanks, Ixom Watercare, and Sherwin-Williams are providing instruction during a full 8 hour training, as well KLM providing an opportunity for attendees to experience a live ROV type water tank inspection. The workshop will be a maximum of 50 people, held at the City of Westminster conference rooms, and on site at a City of Westminster Sunset Ridge Elevated storage tank for a live inspection demonstration.

Lunch will be provided, as well as transportation to the tank site.
