SDWA Course, Santa Fe, NM, June 30-Jul 10, 2026 (#26014-blended)

About this event

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Federal Regulations training course offers over 36 hours of training and is designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of personnel that operate public drinking water systems located on federal trust Tribal lands (Indian reservations). This course provides an overview of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Federal Regulations and the associated regulatory rules, including monitoring, reporting, and public notice requirements. Participants will learn how to find SDWA federal rules, regulations, and supporting documents, as well as how to use and apply them to Tribal water utility scenarios. This course will be particularly helpful for individuals preparing to take the Federal Regulations Exam Modules for water operator certification.

During the second part of this training course, optional certification exam sessions will be offered for free to allow eligible applicants to take the Federal Regulations (FedReg) Exam Modules, which are now required for drinking water operator certification through the ITCA National Tribal Operator Certification Program. Attendees that are only interested in the training may choose not to take the certification exams.
