Water and Domestic Wastewater Operator
Certification Program
| *Special Information* |
|
Now that we are past the date of May 1, 2011, the
“conversion” or “grandfathering”
option is no longer available to distribution applicants. This
means that all individuals now wishing to obtain a water
distribution license must begin the licensure process at either
the Level 3 or 4 (depending on system) and meet all training,
education and experience requirements associated with either
licensure level and sit for the applicable state distribution
examination. |
 Florida Statutes require anyone who operates a drinking water
treatment plant or a domestic wastewater treatment plant to
be licensed by FDEP. Beginning May 1, 2011, licensure for Water
Distribution System Operators becomes mandatory. To qualify for licensure an applicant must meet
minimum educational and work experience requirements for each class of
license. A passing score is required on the exam for the type and level
license desired.
You may now
renew your license on-line and pay with your credit card.
It’s fast and simple. In addition to using this site to renew your
license, you may also check the status of your license(s) and CEU’s in
addition to verifying your current mailing address. All you need is your
