Limited certificate of competency.
(1)It is the intent of KRS 223.160 to 223.220, 223.991, and 224.10-024 that every
operator in responsible charge of a water treatment plant or water distribution
system be required to hold a valid and effective certificate of competency issued by
the Energy and Environment Cabinet in a class equal to or higher than the class of
the particular treatment plant or distribution system where he is currently employed
in order to protect the public health. Operators other than those in responsible
charge of such facilities shall also be eligible to apply for certification.
(2)An operator of a water treatment facility for a school and for a semipublic water
supply shall be entitled to a limited certificate of competency for his particular
facility provided he has demonstrated that he has the knowledge and experience
required to operate properly the particular water treatment facility for which he is
responsible. A limited certificate of competency so issued is not transferable to any
other water treatment facility, nor is the period of operation under such a limited
certificate eligible for consideration toward the experience requirements for a
certificate of competency as provided in subsection
(1)of this section.
