Public Water System Operator Certification
A water system operator is an individual who has responsibility for the operation of a water treatment plant or water distribution system and may have charge of an operating shift, or performs process control decisions including analytical control. Any community and nontransient-noncommunity public water supply system that provides pumped water for human consumption must employ a licensed water operator.
