Water infrastructure technicians begin their day by reporting to work and attending briefings. They inspect and monitor various components of the water system, including pipes, valves, pumps, and filters, taking readings and collecting samples. Based on their inspections, they perform routine maintenance tasks, such as cleaning filters and replacing worn-out parts, as well as repairing malfunctioning components. In water treatment plants, they operate treatment processes like chemical dosing and filtration, monitoring and adjusting parameters. Throughout the day, they document activities, record data, and prepare reports. In emergencies, they respond promptly to mitigate situations and restore operations.
