About this practice test

This California Grade 1 Wastewater Collection Practice Test practice test is a free study tool for water operators preparing for state and national certification exams. The 100 questions on this exam cover the most common topics tested at this level, and every question comes with a plain-English explanation so you can actually learn the material.

You’ll also see this searched as a “wastewater collection 1 (or 2) practice test” or a “free wastewater collections practice test.” It’s the same WPI/ABC collection-system material either way — free here, with a plain-English explanation on every question.

If you're studying for the certification exam, we recommend taking this test once, reviewing the explanations for any questions you missed, and then taking it again later. You can also explore the other practice tests covering specific topics like disinfection, filtration, and operator math.
