Massachusetts Pipelines

Aging infrastructure, harsh winters and dense urban environments make water system reliability a top priority in Massachusetts. This course explores how safety standards apply in real-world scenarios, focusing on the intersection of public health, environmental concerns and local infrastructure needs.

Participants will learn how oversight is handled by municipal utilities and federal partners. Maintenance plays a key role in the course, with relatable examples drawn from the kinds of fieldwork common across the state.
