As
a
student
operator,
I
perform
all
of
the
regular
operator
duties,
but
we
work
every
other
weekend
since
we're
also
students-
and
we
went
through
they
hired
at
four
of
us
last
summer-
was
the
first
time
they
had
the
program
and
we
went
basically
trained
all
summer
40
hours
a
week
with
the
operators
there
and
then
once
they
felt
like
they
were
comfortable
with
us
taking
over.
We
started
our
weekend
shifts,
so
we
do
all
of
those
same
lab
tests
and
normal
duties
of
an
operator
and.
A
B
Yep
so
I'm
at
Iowa,
State,
I'm,
a
senior
in
biological
systems,
engineering
and
global
resource
systems,
so
biological
systems
I
have
a
lot
of
classes
with
agriculture
engineers,
so
it's
kind
of
a
mixture
between
civil
environmental
engineering
and
biology
engineering.
So
it's
a
really
great
major
and
I'm
really
happy
that
Iowa
State
has
such
a
good
program.
A
Well,
as
we're
talking
before
the
show
started,
you
mentioned
you're
from
aim
so
you're,
very
familiar
with
our
great
water
and
the
the
high
standards
the
names
residents
have
for
their
water.
You've
probably
been
drinking
it
all
your
life,
yep
and
and
so
as
a
water
plant
operated.
You
feel
a
lot
of
pressure
to
make
sure
that
that
water
is
always
at
its
finest
absolutely
and
as
water
plant
operator,
you
mentioned
some
of
the
duties
you
do.
The
testing
also
I
think
the
student
operators
are
sort
of
working
off
hours,
sometimes
yep.
B
So
we
work
every
other
weekend,
which
is
nice
for
the
full
time
operator
because
they
have
more
weekends
off
where
before
they,
their
hours
are
already
kind
of
weird.
So
it's
nice
that
they
have
more
time
with
their
families
and
whatnot,
so
I
work,
2
p.m.
to
10pm,
Saturday
and
Sunday,
and
then
I
have
the
next
weekend
off
and
then
the
next
weekend,
I
work
10
p.m.
friday
night
to
six
a.m.
saturday
and
then
again,
Saturday
night
into
Sunday
Wow.
A
B
The
most
common
call
I
get
is
if
somebody
turns
their
water
on
and
it's
looking
rusty.
So
in
order
to
fix
that
you
go
to
the
lowest
point
in
your
house
and
turn
on
the
cold
water
and
flush
it
through,
and
you
definitely
don't
want
to
turn
on
the
hot
water,
because
then
it
gets
in
there
hot
water
heater
and
that's
a
big
mess.
You.
A
B
B
A
A
The
hot
water,
it's
yeah,
that's
kind
of
the
key.
You
mentioned
a
water
main
break
right
now,
in
the
summer,
we're
in
the
middle
of
construction
season.
We
do
see
water
mains
getting
disturbed.
We
see
some
of
those
minerals
and
sediment
being
sort
of
stirred
up
and
we
do
get
a
lot
more
of
those
calls.
So
it
is
sort
of
a
common
thing
again,
not
a
dangerous
thing
at
all.
Right
and.
A
B
A
A
B
Just
by
myself
last
summer,
I
was
working
with
them
all
summer
and
I've
gotten
we
and
this
summer
I'm
engineering
intern
there
also
so
I
get
to
work
with
them
more
and
work
on
projects
and
I
get
to.
Luckily,
like
they've
trained
me
well
and
I've
gotten
to
establish
a
really
good
relationships
with
all
the
operators
and
the
admin
people
there.
B
B
B
So
if
I
do
need
to
change
something,
I
can
make
it
well
change.
So
just
switch
a
couple
wells
or
change
them
all.
It
depends
on
a
couple
things:
ammonia
levels
flow,
obviously
hardness
and
then
I
start
right
into
my
long
set
of
tests.
So
it
kind
of
depends
shift
to
shift
which
tests
we
run.
But
then
you
do
your
lab
tests
every
two
hours
and
then,
if
something
is
weird,
you
do
the
test
more
monitor
it.
Sometimes
we
have
to
do
slick
or
changes
a
lime,
slaker
change,
which
is
lots
of
fun.
A
A
B
So
I'm
really
fortunate
to
also
intern
this
summer
and
get
to
work
with
the
engineers
there
and
which
is
really
good
experience
for
me
to
see
a
brand
new
water
treatment
plant
being
constructed
from
the
design
process
to
actually
being
able
to
watch
a
concrete
pour
so
right.
Now.
Last
winter
there
was
just
basically
underground
pipe
work,
and
then
this
summer
it's
been
a
pretty
rainy
summer,
so
they've
been
working
a
lot
on
the
actual
main
treatment
portion,
the
backwash
recovery
tank,
the
filter
rooms.
B
A
If
you

city
of
Ames

org
slash
water,
you
could
get
access
to
that
webcam
and
sort
of

project
as
it
unfolds
yep.
It's
time
lapse,
so
it's
pretty
cool
wow,
that's
really
great
Rachel.
Anything
else,
you'd,
like
to
add,
sounds
like
you
have
a
very
busy
summer
yep.
