Water and Wastewater Operator Certification
Central water and wastewater collection/treatment facilities must be operated efficiently if they are to work correctly over the long term. A central water supply and distribution facility must provide safe drinking water to customers. A wastewater treatment facility must treat wastewater so it can be safely discharged into the environment.
An operator can become certified in four categories. These include:
- Water Treatment
- Water Distribution
- Wastewater Collection
- Wastewater Treatment
Each of these categories has four classification levels, as listed below. As the classification levels increase, the knowledge and experience requirements also increase.
- Class I
- Class II
- Class III
- Class IV
To make sure that operators have the knowledge and skills required to operate and maintain these facilities, operator certification became mandatory in 2005.
To become certified in Prince Edward Island, an operator must meet the education and experience requirements defined by the Drinking Water and Wastewater Facility Operating regulations. To get a certificate an operator must write an examination administered by the department. A minimum pass mark of 70% is required.
