Abstract

This chapter of the Code of Alabama regulates water and wastewater systems and treatment plants. It provides that the director of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management classifies all water treatment plants, water distribution systems, wastewater treatment plants, and public wastewater collection systems affecting the public welfare with regard to the size, type, character of water and wastewater to be treated, and other physical conditions affecting the treatment plants and distribution systems; and according to the skill, knowledge, and experience that an operator must have to supervise the operation of the facilities to protect the public health and prevent pollution. The director also certifies persons as to their qualifications to supervise the operation of treatment plants and water distribution and public wastewater collection systems after considering the recommendations of the board.
