The Plant Operations Committee is charged with developing educational and training opportunities, promoting professionalism, and fostering communication to benefit water treatment plant administrative, operational, and maintenance personnel. Each year, the committee stages two major events: the fall Plant Operations Seminar and the spring Plant Operations Conference. Additionally, the Plant Operations Committee developed the Section's Code of Ethics for Water Works Professionals, has held Gravity Filter Maintenance Workshops, contributes to the Magazine, and holds the annual TOP OPS competition.
