A day in the life of a water infrastructure technician involves operation, maintenance, and repair of water supply and treatment systems. Technicians inspect and monitor components such as pipes, valves, pumps, and filters, taking readings and collecting samples. Based on inspections, they perform routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning filters and replacing worn-out parts, as well as repairing malfunctioning components. In emergencies, they respond promptly to mitigate situations and restore operations.

Technicians also attend training sessions to stay updated on new technologies and regulations.
