A task least likely to be performed by collection systems personnel is

• A. Inspecting and Testing Manholes
• B. Maintaining Collection Systems Equipment
• C. Making Water Connections
• D. Cleaning Sewer Stoppages

Answer: (C)

The task focuses on what collection system crews typically do to keep the sewer network running. Their duties center on the wastewater collection system—inspecting and testing manholes to ensure access and integrity, maintaining equipment such as lift stations and other collection-system apparatus, and cleaning sewer stoppages to restore or maintain flow in the sewer lines. Making water connections, however, belongs to installing or connecting customer service lines to the potable water distribution system, a function usually handled by the water utility or licensed plumbers and involves different standards and cross-connection controls. So, connecting water service is not part of the usual responsibilities of collection systems personnel, making it the least likely task among the options.
