Operations and maintenance
Qualified, appropriately graded California-certified operators who satisfy DDW staffing requirements, for the whole system or one seat.
The services
Field-informed operations support from California-certified operators.
A qualified, appropriately graded operator of record to satisfy DDW staffing requirements.
On-call certified operator coverage to supplement your staff during startup, transitions, or peak demand.
Routine distribution operations and maintenance, flushing, valve and hydrant work, and preventive maintenance.
Routine inspections, operational monitoring, and troubleshooting with documentation.
Collection and delivery of compliance samples to certified laboratories, with results coordination.
After-hours and emergency operational support, as contracted.
Small and mid-sized systems face the same operator-certification, reporting, and emergency-response requirements as large utilities, with a fraction of the staff. A single vacancy can put a system out of compliance. Exodus pairs certified field operators with in-house compliance and engineering support, so one accountable team handles it.
Every engagement is modular: full system management, a single operations and maintenance program, or relief coverage for specific shifts and roles.
Renewal deadline
Renewal forms and fees are due 120 days before the certificate expires, and contact hours must reach the Office of Operator Certification at least 45 days before.
If your chief operator's certificate lapses, your system is out of compliance the same day.
