Waterworks Operator Certification
Ensuring public water systems are operated by certified operators
Disclaimer
Water systems classified
as Group A Community, Nontransient noncommunity (NTNC), Transient
noncommunity (TNC) with surface water or groundwater under the influence
of surface water (GWI) as their source, and TNCs classified as
significant noncompliers (SNCs) are required under WAC 246-292-020 to
employ certified operators to carry out various operational functions.
To become certified,
operators must meet minimum education and experience requirements and
pass an examination. In addition, certified operators must meet a
professional growth requirement every three years to maintain their
certification status.
To assist public water
systems in meeting the requirement of employing certified operators the
Department of Health maintains a
list of certified contract operators
