What is a storm water operator?

Storm Water Operators are professionals responsible for managing and monitoring stormwater systems to prevent pollution and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. They operate and maintain stormwater infrastructure, such as drains, retention ponds, and treatment systems, often working for municipalities or private companies. Their duties include inspecting facilities, collecting water samples, maintaining records, and implementing best management practices (BMPs) to control runoff and protect water quality. Storm Water Operators play a vital role in protecting the environment and public health by preventing contaminants from entering local waterways.
