Water and Wastewater Operators Certification Examinations
The Pennsylvania Section of the American Water Works Association (PA-AWWA) and Pennsylvania Rural Water Association (PRWA) are partnering with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to present the Operators Certification Examinations. To reach the ultimate goal of increased drinking water and wastewater system compliance with the requirement to have a qualified certified operator, DEP requires testing in order to obtain a license to operate a water and wastewater plant in Pennsylvania.

If you have additional questions please contact PA-AWWA at 717-774-8870 or PRWA at 800-653-7792.

Attention Pennsylvania Operators
New Operator Certificate Program Announced!

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) collaborated with Montgomery County Community College to develop two 180 hour DEP-approved certificate programs designed to help certify new operators in the high demand fields of Drinking Water and Wastewater System Operation. The course components also offer additional continuing education units (CEU’s) for currently certified operators necessary to maintain their certifications. Start to finish, these programs offer all the necessary instruction, course work, hands-on training, pre-requisite refresher courses, and module exams to help operators pass the final exam toward certification. The program includes on-the-job training and work at a local treatment facility, which can be used toward DEP’s minimum operating experience requirements for certification. These programs are offered concurrently on both campuses.

The certification program is for potential students and also anyone interested in being an Instructor. For more information, please contact Rosalind Johnson of MONTCO at 610-718-1979 or email her at rjohnson1@mc3.edu .
