Water and Wastewater Certificates

Water treatment plant operators monitor and operate computerized control systems and related equipment in water filtration and treatment plants to regulate the treatment and distribution of water. Liquid waste plant operators monitor and operate computerized control systems and related equipment in wastewater, sewage treatment and liquid waste plants to regulate the treatment and disposal of sewage and wastes. They are employed by municipal governments and industrial facilities. This unit group also includes waste treatment plant operators in composting plants and other waste management facilities.

The Associate Certificate in Fundamentals of Water and Wastewater Operations provides the essential knowledge and skills for entry-level positions in the water and wastewater treatment sector. The program is designed to meet the educational requirement for an “Operator in Training” and the competencies gained in this program will serve as a foundation for passing the theoretical component for the [Environmental Operators Certification Program](https://eocp.ca/) (EOCP) Level I certification examinations for all four facility/system types. These include water distribution, water treatment, wastewater collection, and wastewater treatment.
