Ability to replace/repair/install various types/sizes of water mains and services (with understanding of the practices and procedures required to protect the water system).
Ability to replace/repair/install various types/sizes of water valves.
A valid Class 5 Driver's License (or provincial equivalent), with no more than 6 demerits and no current suspensions or charges pending.
