Drinking Water Operator Certification
OpCert: EGLE's new operator certification database for drinking water operators

EGLE is excited to launch Michigan's new operator certification database, OpCert.

OpCert is a user-friendly system designed to improve access to certification information for drinking water operators.  In addition, this same system is utilized by wastewater, stormwater and industrial operators. This modern platform streamlines application review, enhances data accuracy, and provides operators, course providers and utilities, seamless access to their records. 

Transition to the database

Operators will submit all materials through the new online database, OpCert, once live.

Once established, the operator profile will serve as the official platform for viewing all operator information. This profile will be used for all program functions, including:

  • Maintain profiles
  • Apply for examinations
  • Renewing certifications
  • Apply for courses and course renewals
  • Receive real-time applications updates
  • Upload course rosters
  • Input education and experience
  • View results
  • Track continuing educations credits (CECs)
  • View certificates
  • Make payments
  • Upload required documentation

What operators need to know

To support a seamless transition:

  • Locate your Operator ID before proceeding.
    • This is available on the Public Portal. Your accounts can only be connected if your First Name, Last Name, and Operator ID exactly match what is in our system.
    • Do not register until you have this ID.
    • If you are a drinking water and wastewater operator, you can use your drinking water ID, to connect to your account.
  • All users must log in using MiLogin. 
    • You will need a MiLogin Citizen account even if you have a MiLogin Business account from MiEHDWIS. The certificate is like a driver’s license where it belongs to the individual.
  • Use a personal email address (not a work email) when creating your account to ensure long‑term access throughout your career.
