The Office of Water Programs at the California State University, Sacramento, College of Engineering and Computer Science provides distance learning courses for persons interested in the operation and maintenance of drinking water and wastewater facilities. These training programs were developed by people who explain, through the use of our manuals, how they operate and maintain their facilities. Sacramento State, fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, administers and monitors these training programs, under the direction of Dr. Ramzi J. Mahmood.

If you are purchasing an enrollment, you must use the most recent edition of the manual, CD, or video that accompanies that course.
