Does a water system that provides only disinfected groundwater need to employ a certified treatment operator?
A. If the treatment facility is not required to provide Giardia or virus inactivation pursuant to section 64654(a), a certified treatment operator is not required. However, a certified distribution operator is required. Additionally, if the DWFOB determines that site-specific circumstances warrant the use of a certified treatment operator, that requirement can be made a condition of the water system permit.
