GLCAP Field Day in Scio Trains Utility Operators on Water Management
"The Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) RCAP Program successfully hosted its 2026 Ohio Field Day on June 3 at the Scio Village Volunteer Fire Department. The day-long training event brought together utility operators, administrators, and community leaders for an engaging and practical learning experience focused on water and wastewater operations.
Field Day featured a full schedule of interactive sessions, plant tours, and demonstrations designed to provide real-world insight into utility management and operations. Attendees explored topics ranging from Lead and Copper Rule updates and water audits to drone technology, GIS applications, and advanced inspection tools. Hands-on demonstrations, including valve exercising, manhole inspection techniques, and system rehabilitation, offered participants tangible skills they can apply in their own communities.
Participants also benefitted from guided tours of the Scio Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant, as well as a Cybersecurity Workshop and multiple sessions focused on Infrastructure Funding and Asset Management. The event offered up to six hours of Operations & Maintenance (O&M) credit, reinforcing its value as both a training and professional development opportunity.
A highlight of the day was the involvement of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA). The agency not only attended but also presented key updates during the opening session, with Ohio EPA’s Amy Klei sharing important regulatory insights. The agency provided highly positive feedback on the event, underscoring the importance of Field Day as a model for effective training and collaboration between state agencies and local utilities.
Attendees echoed this enthusiasm, noting the relevance of the material and the diversity of topics offered. With strong participation, practical learning opportunities, and enthusiastic support from partners like Ohio EPA, GLCAP’s Field Day continues to serve as a valuable resource for strengthening Ohio’s water and wastewater systems.
GLCAP extends its sincere appreciation to our guest speakers who generously shared their expertise and helped make Field Day a meaningful and impactful learning experience. Their knowledge, demonstrations, and dedication to strengthening Ohio’s utility systems were invaluable to every attendee. We also offer a special thank you to the Scio Village Fire Department for graciously hosting the event and providing a welcoming and well-supported venue. Their partnership played a key role in the day’s success and helped create an engaging environment for collaboration and hands-on training.
