Under general supervision, performs a variety of skilled work in the operation, maintenance and repair of water treatment, pumping, boosting, control and distribution equipment and facilities that supply and distribute potable domestic water.
The Water Systems Operator I is the entry/trainee level class in the Water Systems Operator series that allows the incumbent to develop journey level knowledge and abilities. Initially, under immediate supervision, incumbents perform the more routine and less complex assignments within an established procedural framework, where there are minimal consequences of error, including a wide variety of operation and maintenance tasks in water treatment plant operations, maintenance, and repair. As experience is gained, there is greater independence of action within established guidelines. This classification is distinguished from the next higher level classification of Water Systems Operator II by the performance of work requiring a lesser degree of skill in performing installation, preventative maintenance, and repair to water systems equipment.
Candidates must possess a California State Water Resources Control Board Water Treatment Operator Grade II (T2) Certificate and a California State Water Resources Control Board Water Distribution (D2) Operator Grade II Certificate.
