Water System Operators Licensing Rule, 90-429 CMR Ch. 1

Date posted:

Attachment(s):

The Board of Licensure of Water System Operators (Board), established within the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (Department) pursuant to 22 M.R.S. § 2624-A and acting with the Department’s assistance pursuant to § 2624-A(10), has amended the Water System Operators Licensing Rule, which regulates the licensure of Public Water System Operators, establishes classifications, sets license fees, and outlines complaint procedures. The primary purpose of the Board’s adopted amendments include clarifying the public water system classification, reorganizing the five licensing classifications into four classes and expanding the two disciplines of license into three at Section 3(A); replacing the “restricted” license status with two statuses which include “probationary” and “suspended” at Section 3(B); increasing license fees for initial licensure, for initial licensure by reciprocity, and for biennial renewal of license at Section 5, to receive enough revenue for the actual costs of licensing; and strengthening and clarifying enforcement language in Section 6. Additional amendments include updating the rule format to comply with formatting conventions at the Department and clarifying language for readability.
