Collection Systems Certification Program
The Certification Program, offered in four grade levels, for the examination and certification of wastewater collection systems personnel in the New England States, was established in order to promote the employment of trained, experienced, reliable and efficient personnel for the operation of public and industrial wastewater works; and to establish standards and facilities whereby wastewater collection systems personnel can demonstrate proficiency. By means of this program, NEWEA strives to:
- Improve the quality of wastewater collection systems operations;
- Improve the status of wastewater collection systems personnel;
- Promote safety conditions for wastewater collection systems personnel;
- Provide a roster of qualified personnel; and
- Provide a means whereby those responsible for employment of wastewater collection systems personnel can readily determine the qualifications which are considered desirable in such personnel.
NEWEA has certified over 6,800 collections systems operators.
