Water distribution certification guidelines were established by the EPA in 1999 to provide minimum standards for water treatment operator certification. Well trained and certified water system operators ensure the proper operation and maintenance of the system and protect the public from potentially harmful contaminants. While minimum standards are set at the federal level, operator certification is managed and administered at the state level. Minor variations in certification requirements may exist from state to state, the overall goal is the same, to have competent, well trained, professional personnel overseeing the treatment and distribution of safe drinking water.
