Operator Certification: Utah Division of Drinking Water

Public Water Systems may be required to have a certified Direct Responsible Charge Operator at a certain grade level depending on the system’s classification, population, and complexity. Certified operators help improve compliance with regulations, minimize public health concerns, and maximize the performance of the system.

Water Operators protect water sources, monitor water usage, treat the water, monitor water quality, distribute the water, maintain the water system, and oversee the daily operations of public water systems.
