Competency C1: Install Rural Water Supply Systems

Private water supply systems are an alternative source of water for many households and businesses across the world. These systems are typically used in rural areas where municipal water systems are not available or are not desirable due to various reasons such as cost, distance, or lack of infrastructure. Private water supply systems can draw water from a variety of sources, including groundwater and surface water, and are designed to provide safe and reliable water to consumers. However, unlike municipal water systems, private water supply systems are the responsibility of the property owner and their plumber, and as such, it is essential to understand their design, installation, operation, and maintenance requirements.
