Community Water Systems
All public water systems classified as non-transient, non-community, or community public water supplies, and certain transient non-community public water supplies, must have a certified operator.
Even though the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State enforce the community water standards, the local government and the private water suppliers are responsible for maintaining the quality of the water within each community. Private water suppliers test and treat their water, maintain the distribution systems that deliver the water, and report to the State on the quality of the water. The State and EPA can take legal action against systems that fail to provide water that meets State and EPA standards.
Since 1974, the EPA has set national safety standards for over 80 contaminants that may occur in drinking water.
Having a qualified and trained water system operator improves public health protection for public drinking water systems, and increases compliance with the operation, maintenance, and sampling requirements. This requirement became effective in Michigan on December 8, 2000. Therefore, existing systems were required to have a certified operator as of December 8, 2002, and any new non-transient supplies must have a certified operator prior to beginning operations.
