SepticSmart Homeowner Education Program

Nov., 2012 - The Environmental Protection Agency has just rolled out SepticSmart, a long-awaited national program to promote proper septic system care and maintenance by homeowners.    Full details can be found at the EPA's SepticSmart web page

This program, which was initially suggested by NOWRA and other members of EPA's Decentralized Wastewater Management Partnership, provides a range of tools (including many in Spanish), for industry practitioners and local governments to help educate homeowners. Some of the tools in the kit are designed to be printed and distributed locally. Others are electronic-based.
