Water University
The WU Mission

To provide recognition and certification for
experience and educational achievements in the
field of water and wastewater management.
Today, the water and wastewater industry is
more complex than ever before. Economics,
increased complexity in regulatory
requirements and a changing society are
crafting the water and wastewater systems of
tomorrow. As our industry changes, there is
a strong need to recognize the individuals
who provide leadership to the industry and
create a standard for the future.

Water University certification programs are
designed to recognize the professional
educational achievements of individuals and
to market their achievements and skills to
increase the value of today's water
professionals.

Water University highly-recommends the use
of study material before taking certification
examinations, including the purchase of
study guides and attendance of Water U
preparation courses. Examinations cover a
wide array of topics in great technical detail.
