A remote operator is allowed to operate at which type of facility?

• A. Only Grade 1 facilities
• B. Only Grade 2 facilities
• C. Any Grade 1 or Grade 2 facility
• D. Any public water system

Answer: (C)

Certification grades define what facilities an operator is qualified to operate. A remote operator can manage facilities that fall within Grade 1 or Grade 2 because these grades cover basic to mid-level distribution systems that can be controlled from a distance with appropriate monitoring and automation. Higher-grade facilities require more hands-on, on-site oversight and specialized knowledge, and not every public water system falls within the scope of a Grade 1 or Grade 2 license. So the remote operator is allowed to operate any Grade 1 or Grade 2 facility.
