RE: water filtration
Your question is a bit open-ended. Most large municipal water filtration or treatment plants work 24 hours a day.
If you simply want to be a plant operator, you must be prepared to do shift work since there are operators at the plant for 3 shifts per day of 8 hours each. A good high school education is very probably all that is needed to qualify for a job as an operator.
If you want to be involved in the technical end of the plant or in a management position, then you will very probably need a college degree. In that case, your best bet
is either chemical engineering or civil/environmental engineering.

Check with your local authorities as to what is required.
Good Luck!
