2010 Membership Application

View Membership List (new window)

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.

The IOWWA membership structure for 2010 year is designed to accommodate both one-person participation by providing “Individual” membership at $90.00 and companies with numerous active individuals using the “Business” membership at $120.00 + additional staff for $50.00/each. Because all association activities have both member and non-member fees, allowing more persons to attend from a member company at the lower member rates was desired. “Individual” membership is for only one person from any company or government entity. The affiliation of that individual will always be listed with the person’s name in IOWWA records and materials.

The “Business” membership is best suited for a company or government entity when multiple personnel participate in association activities. One person is designated the “key person;” that individual will receive the IOWWA Septic News and be the primary contact. Additional persons from the same company or agency can be added to the business membership for $50 per person; those persons can then attend IOWWA activities at the lower member rates. There is no limit to the number of persons from the same entity who can be added for $50.00 each.

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.
