This online training program teaches Arizona water operators about the fundamental aspects of water distribution systems (WDS). It provides a detailed overview of WDS components, operational strategies and EPA safety regulations to ensure proper installation, function and water quality.

The course highlights key areas such as:

  • WDS parts: pipelines, valves, meters, hydrants, pumps and motors
  • Organization and design patterns
  • Common storage types
  • The use of SCADA systems in advanced WDS setups
  • Maintenance and repair techniques
