The Water Technology Program is an accredited and comprehensive water education program offering courses in water treatment, water distribution and cross-connection control. The program is fully recognized by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). Program courses provide the training required for employment at a municipal water district, private water utility or city water department. Upon completion of the program, students will have gained the knowledge necessary to successfully pass the SWRCB Water Treatment Operator Certification exams (T1-T3), Water Distribution Operator Certification exams (D1-D3), and Cross-Connection Control Certified Specialist and Tester exams offered by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and various County Health Departments.
