The California Department of Health Services, in partnership with CPS Human Resource Services, is offering an Expense Reimbursement Grant Program, conducted under a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This program gives money to Small Water System Operators to attend training in order to qualify for and to take the operator certification exams and to complete continuing education requirements for renewing certifications.

In November 2006, the Expense Reimbursement Grant Program introduced the Scholarship Program for Small Water System (SWS) Operators. This program enables SWS Operators to attend training classes and obtain training materials with little or no out of pocket expenses from the system or the operator. This exciting new program provides system owners and managers an easy opportunity to send operators to valuable training programs, helps operators fulfill their continuing education requirements and helps them achieve certification all paid for through the Small Water Systems Expense Reimbursement Grant (SWS-ERG) program.

Program benefits include:
  • Increased training opportunities
  • Operators can obtain reimbursement for certifications costs
  • Operators can attend training courses with little or no out-of-pocket cost
  • Systems save on training dollars
  • Operators are more qualified
