What is required to be a Maintenance Provider?

To be recognized as a Maintenance Provider, one must meet specific qualifications that demonstrate adequate knowledge and experience in the field of on-site sewage facilities. The requirement of being a Maintenance Technician for three years or holding the Installer II license along with appropriate coursework provides a well-rounded foundation. This experience ensures that the individual is familiar with the operational intricacies, regulatory requirements, and best practices essential for maintaining and servicing OSSF systems.

The three years of experience equips maintenance providers with hands-on skills and practical knowledge, while the Installer II credential, along with relevant classes, showcases formal training and an understanding of system installation and maintenance. These qualifications ensure that Maintenance Providers can competently handle the responsibilities of servicing and maintaining sewage facilities, thus ensuring compliance with safety standards and public health considerations.
