Wastewater Operator Certification is required for those individuals who operate municipal wastewater treatment and/or collection systems. Other individuals may become certified, but would be issued “restricted” certificates unless they meet all of the requirements as defined in the rules (UAC R317-10).
DWQ is required to verify the lawful presence in the United States of an individual at least 18 years of age (includes sole proprietor doing business under an assumed name) who has applied for Onsite Professional Certification, Wastewater Operator Certification, or who has applied for federal SRF funding.
