Water and Wastewater Operators Certification Examinations

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.

Partnership for Safe Water Program Members and Growing!!!
Congratulations to Pennsylvania American Water's 18 Plants for
receiving the Directors Award for 10 Years in the PfSW Program!!!
Pennsylvania American Water has
received national awards at 18 of its plants for maintaining the
Directors Award of recognition from the Partnership for Safe Water, a
national volunteer initiative developed by EPA and other water
organizations. These represent water suppliers striving to provide their
communities with...
drinking water quality that surpasses the required federal standards.
The Directors Award is presented to water systems who have completed
a successful review in the Partnership’s Self-Assessment and Peer Review
phase, a phase in which utilities examine the capabilities
of their
treatment plant operation and administration and then create a plan for
implementing improvements. Eighteen of our facilities have maintained
the Directors Award for ten years, an honor achieved by only 32 water
utilities across the country.
