BOARD FOR WATERWORKS AND WASTEWATER WORKS OPERATORS AND ONSITE SEWAGE SYSTEM PROFESSIONALS

Action Withdrawn

Title of Regulation: 18VAC160-30. Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators Licensing Regulations (amending 18VAC160-30-40).

Statutory Authority: §§ 54.1-113 and 54.1-201 of the Code of Virginia.

The Board for Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators and Onsite Sewage System Professionals has WITHDRAWN the regulatory action for 18VAC160-30, Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators Licensing Regulations, which was published as a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action in 38:12 VA.R. 1177 January 31, 2022. The purpose of the proposed action was to adjust license application, renewal, and reinstatement fees for waterworks and wastewater works operator licenses. As a result of changes to the way the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation allocates expenses to its regulatory boards, the board voted on October 23, 2025, to withdraw this action and instead initiate a new regulatory action to adjust fees in conformance with the new treatment of expenses by the department.
