What is required for certified operators to maintain their license?

Certified operators are required to renew their certification periodically to ensure that they remain updated with the latest practices, technologies, and regulations pertaining to water treatment. This renewal process typically involves confirming that the operator has met any continuing education requirements, but the key aspect is the formal renewal of the certification itself.

Maintaining a valid license is crucial for the operation of water treatment facilities as it ensures that the operators are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their duties effectively. The renewal process also serves to validate the operator’s ongoing competence in the field.

While continuing education may be a component of the renewal process, the emphasis is primarily on the requirement to renew the certification to continue practicing legally and effectively in the field.
