Northern Water Operations and Maintenance Crews See Reservoir Come to Life Through Chimney Hollow University
After construction is complete, the “key” to Chimney Hollow Reservoir will be passed from Barnard Construction to Northern Water operations and maintenance (O&M) staff. To better educate and train our O&M staff, ongoing training is conducted through Chimney Hollow University.
Northern Water’s three O&M crews (mechanical, electrical and civil) visit the site monthly for a half-day training. Some sessions are in a classroom setting while others are in the field. By regularly bringing the crews on site, they are gaining first-hand experience of the reservoir components they will maintain once it is built.
