Operators preparing to take certification exams have new resources at their disposal.

WEF’s Wastewater Operations Fact Sheets provide summaries of each chapter in the manual Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals. Each focuses on providing science-based principles and best management practices that can be applied at water resource recovery facilities and utilities of the future.
