CECTI – Partners in Training for Operators
At CECTI.org, we are committed to supporting water and wastewater operators across Colorado through meaningful, accessible, and industry-driven training. As highly certified professionals and volunteers within the water sector, we understand the critical role that well-trained operators play in protecting public health and the environment.
Our mission is to empower both new and experienced operators by providing high-quality educational resources, technical expertise, and outreach programs that align with the evolving needs of the industry.
CECTI’s programs are designed to support Colorado’s Regulation 100 by helping operators meet certification requirements, advance in their careers, and prepare for the challenges ahead. Through collaborative training efforts, we aim to ensure that communities continue to receive safe, reliable, and compliant water and wastewater services—today and into the future.
