How to become a water operator?

To start a career as a water operator, you need additional training after high school to earn the necessary qualifications. You can attend a one-year vocational certificate program or a two-year associate degree program at a community college. Additionally, you need to pass exams to get state certification to work as a water operator. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires certification to make sure drinking water operators and water treatment facilities comply with the Clean Water Act (CWA). You use data analysis skills and mechanical knowledge every day that you work as a water operator.
