Leaders from (l-r) WEF, State Water Board, CA-NV AWWA and CWEA joined together at AC18 in Sacramento to announce the AWT Operator Certification program.
The California-Nevada Section of the American Water Works Association (CA-NV AWWA) and California Water Environment Association (CWEA) have signed a memorandum of agreement to jointly develop the Advanced Water Treatment Operator (AWTO) Certification program.
The certification exams are expected to be ready in the Spring of 2019. The certification will be open to all California and Nevada Grade 3 or higher drinking water treatment and wastewater treatment operators.
During AC18 in Sacramento, representatives from CA-NV AWWA, CWEA, WEF and the State Water Board raised a glass of tap water and toasted to the spirit of partnership and a bright future for our profession.
The partnership is an example of water professionals working together for One Water. For the first time in decades, CA-NV AWWA and CWEA are working together on a new program. Both associations have over 80 years of experience developing and managing professional certifications.
