Career Certificate Program
Environmental Health Technology

The demand for water is great. Concern for clean streams, rivers and lakes is growing. As a result, the need for qualified water quality control operators has become increasingly important.
As more communities update their water and wastewater facilities and populations grow, the need for trained and certified operators will increase. Water quality control operators are people who have the technological training to operate water and wastewater treatment systems. They are responsible for seeing that treatment systems work properly and provide safe water at all times. The responsibility to meet federal and state requirements has led each state to require that water quality control operators be licensed before operating a plant.
