Free Water Loss Management Training: March 2026 Workshops

Did You Know? Nationwide, an estimated six billion gallons of water per day are taken from water resources and never reach the customer, mainly due to leaky infrastructure/aging distribution systems. This is enough water to supply the drinking needs of the ten largest U.S. cities. 

To help water utilities address this growing issue, in March 2026, the PADEP Safe Drinking Water Operator Outreach Program and the DRBC are offering a free, three-part training series on water loss management for water operators, water managers, water authority personnel, engineers and water system board members working in the Delaware River Basin.
