Over the past number of months, administration has been meeting with the Land Stewardship Centre collaborating on a homeowner education program on onsite wastewater similar to that of the waterwells
program.
The Land Stewardship Centre was tasked with the project through a grant from the Alberta Water and Wastewater Association, our colleagues engaged in centralized water and wastewater systems.

The initial draft of that program is now complete. The AOWMA and Land Stewardship Centre are now identifying the next steps required for the delivery of this program. The intent is to have the AOWMA
deliver the training in a similar manner as the waterwell training beginning in 2014. Educating homeowners about the operation and maintenance has been determined to be a key factor in ensuring a sustainable onsite wastewater industry while protecting public health and the environment.
