Since inception in 1999, the Iowa Onsite Waste Water Association (IOWWA) works to educate its members and public about the benefits of quality onsite wastewater treatment. IOWWA is one of the largest state organizations in the country focused on the onsite wastewater industry. Our members number more than 400 and include regulators, installation contractors, maintenance contractors, soil scientists, engineers, manufacturers and educators. These people join to make IOWWA a diverse and well-balanced organization.

In 2008 membership is reverting to the 2006 structure and will be for individuals rather than a general per company membership. This new structure will ensure that all members receive the IOWWA newsletter and important training announcements along with NOWRA membership which is required for those taking the NEHA certification exam.

IOWWA's main goal is to expand on industry-wide education. The primary means is by supporting training workshops across the state. Workshops are held several times per year and cover subjects including site evaluation, system design, and system installation. IOWWA provides other educational opportunities by publishing our quarterly newsletter and by hosting an annual conference. The two-day annual conference features seminars by nationally recognized experts, peer discussions, networking opportunities, and exhibits featuring the latest technologies and services.

IOWWA can help you address issues and answer questions specific to onsite wastewater treatment in our state. IOWWA is also connected to the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association (NOWRA), the premier national organization focused on the onsite wastewater industry. Membership in IOWWA includes membership in NOWRA and IOWWA members receive all the benefits of NOWRA including a subscription to the “Onsite Journal”, the quarterly NOWRA newsletter.

IOWWA grows stronger with new and renewed memberships. You are invited to join IOWWA as we work to learn and share knowledge in our industry. Please accept our invitation by completing the membership application form posted at this site. You can also contact Alice Vinsand, our executive director at 515-225-1051 or execdir@iowwa.com.
