How often must waterworks operators with Class C certificates renew their certifications?

Waterworks operators holding a Class C certificate are required to renew their certifications every three years. This renewal period is established to ensure that operators remain current with industry standards, regulations, and advancements in technologies relevant to water treatment and distribution. The three-year cycle allows operators to refresh their knowledge and skills, which is essential for maintaining the safety and quality of drinking water. Regular renewal helps operators stay informed about new procedures and best practices, ultimately benefiting public health and environmental safety. Continuing education or professional development activities during this period may also be mandated to support skill enhancement.
