Plant Operations Committee
The Plant Operations Committee has two main goals, we:
- Serve as an educational and networking resource to treatment plant operations members
- Sponsor technical sessions at the Annual Conference and Spring Meeting on issues including treatment process technologies, regulation, and permitting
The Plant Operations Committee coordinates the plant operations-orientated activities including operator training programs and the New England Operator Exchange Program. In addition, the Committee monitors and reports on the development of federal and state laws, rules, and regulations which may affect operators and their operations (in coordination with the Government Affairs Committee).

Attention Operators! Each state has its own training and certification requirements for water and wastewater operations personnel. Please refer to the professional development page to see the contact for your state.
