Water & Wastewater Consultation
Licensed operator help for small water and wastewater systems — compliance questions, sampling, reporting, and a second set of eyes before FDEP asks.
Quick answer
If you run a small water or wastewater system — an HOA plant, a mobile home park, a business on its own well — Florida expects a licensed operator to be involved, and FDEP expects the paperwork to be right. Tavish holds both a drinking water operator license (DW #A20193) and a wastewater operator license (WW #A16614) and consults on exactly that.

What you get.
Every time.
The price is quoted before the visit. The person who quotes it is the person who shows up, and the certification number on the paperwork is his. If it is not the right service for you, you hear that on the phone.

Small systems get into trouble the same way every time: a sampling deadline gets missed, a monthly operating report goes in late or wrong, or a piece of equipment has been limping for months and nobody wanted to be the one to say it. FDEP does not grade on intent. This service exists so that someone with the license and the background looks at your system before that happens.
What it covers: reviewing your permit conditions and what they actually require of you, sampling schedules and who is doing them, operating reports, chlorine residual and disinfection questions, and what to do when a result comes back wrong. It also covers the honest conversation about whether your system needs a contract operator at all, and at what class.
What it is not: we are not an engineering firm, and we do not design plants or stamp drawings. If your question is a capacity or design question, you need an engineer and we will say so on the first call.
How it works: describe the system and the question. Some questions are answered on the phone. Some need a site visit and a look at the records. You get told which before anything is billed.
Water & Wastewater Consultation — FAQ
Does my small water system need a licensed operator?
In Florida, most public water systems and domestic wastewater facilities are required to have a licensed operator, with the class of license depending on the system. Whether yours does, and at what class, is the first thing we sort out — it is usually answerable from your permit.
What licenses does Tavish hold?
Florida drinking water operator license DW #A20193, wastewater operator license WW #A16614, and backflow tester certification #7337, all as printed on his card.
Can you help after an FDEP notice or inspection?
Yes. Bring the notice and your records. The job is to work out what FDEP is actually asking for, what the deadline is, and the shortest honest path to closing it out.
When should I call an engineer instead?
Any time the question is about capacity, design, permitting a new facility, or modifying a plant. That is engineering work and needs a licensed engineer. Operations and compliance questions are ours.
Holding a notice? Call the tester.
Read us the notice. We tell you who it says should do the test, what it costs if that is us, and — if your city already tests for you — that you do not need us at all.
