Maintaining Water Quality in Distribution

Distribution systems are a vital part of every drinking water utilities infrastructure. They are the mechanisms for delivering safe, potable water to our customers. Distribution systems also provide fire protection to our buildings, water for landscape and cool air for our buildings in the summer. Basically, without distribution systems there would be no community. This course will focus on components of a distribution system, how to monitor and maintain high water quality, how to trouble shoot complaints, identify sources of poor water quality and provide education to customers related improving water quality in their homes.
