ITCA PROGRAM OBJECTIVE:
The National Tribal Water and Wastewater Operator Certification Program at ITCA serves to
meet the needs of system operators working on Tribal lands and to provide a jurisdictionally-
correct alternative to state certification programs. The ITCA is a U.S. EPA-approved provider of
certification services under the U.S. EPA Tribal Drinking Water Operator Certification Program
Guidelines and makes its services available to all Tribal water and wastewater system operators
working in Indian Country. ITCA-issued certification in drinking water or wastewater is deemed
equivalent and accepted through reciprocity (exam waiver) by numerous states. Tribal operator
certification is an additional way by which Tribal governments can exercise their sovereignty
and promote their self-determination goals.
For additional information, please contact the ITCA Tribal Water Department at (602) 258-4822.
