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.
