The District’s Field Service Technicians (FSTs) recently spent two days learning and practicing confined space entries and traffic control. Confined space training focuses on the safety and teamwork required to access hard-to-reach areas, including many of our pump stations and manholes.

Most of our manholes and sewer lines are located under major roadways, which necessitates traffic control by team members to ensure safety while maintaining the sewer system. The value of teamwork is incredibly important, and the District does not take it lightly.
