Water Main Installation
Water distribution systems are an integral part of keeping the public healthy and safe. The primary purpose of a water distribution system is the delivery of potable water for drinking and firefighting. To meet that goal, systems are designed by civil engineers and city planners to meet the changing needs of homes, offices, and industries. The water operator plays a key role in the installation of these systems. This course will illustrate each step in water main installation, including excavating a trench, inspecting and laying pipe, backfilling a trench, and pressure and leak testing and flushing and disinfecting new pipelines. Safety precautions for all these steps will be made clear as well.
