Water System…

Operations

OPS has multiple certified water system operators on staff. Our operators are not only highly experienced pump, water treatment and water system technicians; many hold technical degrees that give them a top level proficiency in their respective field. Each of our operators and technicians participate in continuing education to ensure they are on the leading edge of water technology and regulations.

OPS can help your water system comply with requirements for Consumer Confidence Reports, Emergency Notification Plans, & Source Chemical Sampling. If you system is not in compliance, OPS staff can work with you and Napa County regulators to develop a path to bring your water system into compliance.

OPS currently provides water system management & operation services to more than 25 public water systems in the Napa & Sonoma Counties. This collaboration results in a water system that the water meets the stringent requirements set forth by regulators while also providing affordable water rates. The water systems that OPS helps manage and maintain have the lowest water rates in the region!

If you need solutions for your county or state regulated water system, we can help!

System Monitoring

Leveraging technology for better performance with lower costs is important to our customers. Many of our cost-conscious customers have asked us to help them put their water system monitoring online & reduce manual site checks.

Many of the water systems we work with monitor flow rates, water delivery rates, chlorine, pH, turbidity, water pressure and much, much more, 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Online monitoring typically reduces travel and the need for onsite monitoring by significant amounts, thus saving our customers money and helping our environment!

OPS has technicians on standby 24/7 that respond immediately to emergency situations.
