The only people required by the state to hold a license are the primary and secondary operator. Distribution and treatment are counted separately. The primary must hold a full status license equal or greater than the classification of the system. The secondary must hold a license that is at least one step below the classification of the system, and it can be OIT. All other water department employees are not required to have a license, but it is encouraged. As far as the ramifications for not having one while in a position that does require it, I am not sure. I would guess it would be a fine for the municipality. It is probably covered in 310 cmr 22, the state regulations for our industry. You can also reach out to your regional DEP office, they would likely have an answer.
