TCEQ Hours

TCEQ has approved Texas WaterTM 2022 for a maximum of 11.5 hours of Operator Training Certification credit for water and wastewater personnel. Credit hours will be available for attending some technical sessions. Please refer to the schedule on pages 32-39 to see which sessions count for credit hours.

Reporting hours will be done through an online form— you will not have a paper form to turn in (except for competition hours; read more about that below).

Before you leave a technical session, make sure a Texas Water official has scanned your badge. You only need

to have your badge scanned if you will be requesting TCEQ credit hours.

Take note of which sessions you attend in your program (mark/circle the ones you attend in the grid) - you are

ultimately responsible for keeping track of your

attendance. The program will show which sessions count towards w = water, ww = wastewater and w/ww = water and wastewater credit. Each technical session counts as .5 hour.

After the conference, fill out the online form via the link below or scanning the QR code at right with your smartphone:

www.txwater.org/tceq_creditform_2022.cfm

You only need to submit this form one time after the end of the conference. We’ll need your contact info, license number(s) and the total number of hours you are seeking (both the breakdown of w/ww and the overall total). Completing this online form is your way of “turning in” your hours. We will check the hours you enter with the scan report from the sessions and report the total hours to TCEQ.

The deadline for submitting the online form for hours is May 1, 2022. Please allow up to six weeks for processing hours to TCEQ. Hours will not be processed until payment for the conference is received.

Engineers may also receive licensing CE hours for attending on a self-reporting basis (please note: we will not have Engineering forms on-site and you do not need to fill out the online form; it’s up to you to report your CE hours). The Professional Ethics Workshop for engineers course offered on Wednesday satisfies the Professional Ethics requirement.

WEAT’s Operations Challenge competitors can receive 14 hours of wastewater credit and TAWWA’s Top Ops competitors can receive 3.5 hours of water credit. Paper forms will be available to record competition hours (competitors do not need to fill out the online form).

Scan the QR code to be taken to the online form. Please only fill this form out one time after the conference.
