3. Course Catalog Description: This is a comprehensive course that teaches basic principles of operation and maintenance of a water distribution system. The course covers sources of water; principles of design; installation, operation, and maintenance of pipes, pumps, valves, meters, and other regulated hydraulic units. Operation and maintenance safety considerations are emphasized. This course is designed to prepare the student to take the State of California Water Distribution Operator exam.

4. Justification of recommendation for new course: (e.g. requirement for major’s sequence, general education, trends in field or scholarship, etc. List agencies, groups, resources consulted to determine need, i.e., State Boards, advisory committees, surveys, other colleges’ offerings, etc.) Employment in the water industry directly supports and ensures the stewardship of one of California’s most vital resources, water. There is a current shortage of skilled water and wastewater technicians, as well as a long-term demand for these skills in the Bay Area. Based on a 2009 survey of water and wastewater agencies and utilities in six Bay Area counties, employers are projected to need as many as 677 new and replacement workers in seven critical water and wastewater occupations over the next five years. Nearly half of the current water technicians will reach retirement age in the next four to six years. Despite the current economic recession, the demand for these jobs is projected to increase by 17% in Santa Clara County and by 19% statewide through 2016.

This is a core course in the water industry , and an important building block toward a degree in Water Resources Management and Water Technology.
