Wastewater Operator Certification Regulations Are Effective!
 
The Certification and Licensing Branch announces that new wastewater operator certification regulations became effective on March 6, 2009. These changes include certification licensing and renewal fee increases. A copy of the revised regulations and updated forms can be obtained at the program's Web site located at www.dca.ky.gov\certification.
 
Wastewater operators may now renew their certifications. Operators are encouraged to renew their license on the certification program's Web site. Renewals submitted online cost 50 percent less than renewals submitted by mail. Be sure to renew by June 30 or a $250 late fee will be assessed.
 
The certification program will also begin offering collection system operator certification exams beginning March 26. We will begin offering collection system operator training in June.
