Wastewater for Contractors

How Do I Become a Licensed Waste Water Contractor?

The Reno County Sanitation Code requires licensure of anyone who installs, repairs, or alters a waste water system, including a home owner. The company or individual must complete an application, pay the fee, and take an exam to complete the license process. A contractor that would like to install waste water systems throughout the county must also have three hours of continuing education credits yearly. Study materials made available upon request to the environmental staff.
