What is a Class D operator?

Class D Operators are professionals responsible for operating and maintaining water or wastewater treatment facilities, typically at smaller plants or within specific regulatory classifications. They ensure that water treatment processes comply with safety and environmental standards by monitoring equipment, collecting samples, and recording data. Class D is often considered an entry-level certification, requiring basic knowledge of treatment processes and regulations. These operators play a crucial role in delivering safe water or properly treated wastewater to communities.
