Mission Statement
The mission of the Engineering Section is to protect the health of all of Arkansas' citizens and
visitors by providing technical assistance, analytical services, training, regulation, and public education for the purpose of ensuring that public water systems provide adequate quantities of safe, palatable water and that community sewerage systems dispose of domestic wastes in a safe manner.
Areas of Responsibility
The Engineering Section's primary function is the regulation and oversight of public water systems throughout the state. This program consists of plan review of new water system facility construction, inspection of water system facilities, trouble shooting water treatment and distribution problems, investigating complaints, and collecting and analyzing samples to determine water quality. However, the Section has a number of related functions, such as plan review of new sewer system construction, inspection of proposed cemetery sites, plan review of public swimming pools, and water system operator training and certification.
