To commemorate the week water utilities, environmental advocates and others across North America will celebrate drinking water through school events, public presentations and community festivals. They will also provide their communities with important tips for protecting our water supplies and conserving resources.
The AWWA National Tapping Contest is a competition of skill in which water operators from across the US work against the clock to open a cement-lined, ductile iron pipe and install a tap. The contests begin at the local AWWA Section level and the winners are then eligible to compete in the national Tapping Contest. There are two divisions, Men’s and Women’s.
