Performing the required sampling and testing of public water systems is the primary means of evaluating compliance with the standards and the safety of the drinking water supply. The certification is primarily for laboratory personnel, municipal and private water system operators and superintendents, and county and State health department staff. Other individuals who request this certification collect samples for private companies that sample public drinking water systems, those involved in real estate transactions and some pest control companies. At the successful completion of a written exam and a practical test, a certification number is issued to each participant. Please register and confirm attendance by calling the contact person at least one week prior to the class.
Dates are subject to change based on weather and demand for the class.
