April 23, Thursday @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm AEST
This event is designed to bring local WIOA members together with peers from across the water industry operations sector. Join us for a hands‑on, operator‑focused event featuring:
-
- Mains Tapping Demonstration: This is your chance to learn from the pros and practice your skills at the Mains Tapping Demonstration. The winner will take all.. bragging rights.
- Local Water Taste Test Demonstration: We want your water! Bring your best water sample and participate in this Blind Water Taste Demonstration. Everyone gets a vote to decide the best tasting local water.
- Panel Discussion: Our six Water Industry panelist’s will tackle your real‑world “problem → solution” challenges live. We want to hear about the awkward installations, mystery assets, process issues, network oddities, SCADA quirks assets and legacy systems that make water operations anything but ordinary. Our panel will talk through how they would diagnose or resolve these issues on the day. Photos must be submitted ahead of time, and can be submitted when you register using the link below.
- Social Activity: Mix it up and meet some new Operators by participating in a round of high stakes putt putt golf.
