Water Pump Station Engineering and Management

May 26 - 28, 2026 Online :: Central Time

“This training provided a new way of looking at our approach to maintenance and design of our pump stations.” 

Wastewater Supervisor, City of El Segundo Water Division

I was so impressed with this training and the other training I participated in years ago that you all put on. I also appreciate that you must have some sort of magic way of reaching out to women because this was well attended by women which is not something that always happens! Thank you!

“I came out more confident and informed then I was coming into the lecture.” 

Graduate Civil Engineer, Philadelphia Water Department

Water pump stations are crucial components in water supply systems, responsible for ensuring adequate water pressure and flow to meet the needs of residential, commercial, and industrial users. However, pump stations can fail due to inadequate design, poor maintenance, and other issues, leading to significant disruptions in water supply and potential safety hazards.

The Water Pump Station Engineering and Management course will equip professionals in the water supply industry with the knowledge and skills needed to design, operate, and maintain efficient and reliable water pump stations. Participants will learn about the latest technologies and best practices for:

  • pump station design
  • pump station operation
  • maintenance, troubleshooting common issues, and minimizing downtime

By attending this course, participants can enhance their expertise and contribute to the safe, efficient, and sustainable delivery of water services to communities.

Learning Outcomes

  • Analyze potable water system design requirements and key terms to ensure regulatory compliance and optimal system performance
  • Compare different types of pumps and their applications to select the appropriate pump for various water supply scenarios
  • Calculate pump and system curves to understand the relationship between pump performance and system demand under static and dynamic conditions
  • Evaluate pump station control and automation systems, including SCADA and cybersecurity measures, to enhance energy efficiency and system reliability
  • Review pump station performance through monitoring, efficiency analysis, and cost management strategies to improve overall water delivery and system sustainability
