Coming Soon: DecentralizedWastewater.org |
DecentralizedWastewater.org will be launching later this spring as a new sister program of WaterOperator.org and PrivateWellClass.org.
Through a partnership of the Illinois State Water Survey and the Rural Community Assistance Partnership, the new website will provide training and technical assistance to wastewater professionals, onsite system owners, and managers of centralized and onsite/decentralized wastewater systems. We will host thousands of wastewater training documents, a calendar of training events, a regular webinar series, and more.
If you are seeking documents and events right away, you may check to see what is currently listed on the WaterOperator.org Event Calendar.
This newsletter will be sent out monthly. Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any comments, would like us to find something for you, or have information that will help other onsite/decentralized wastewater operators, installers, inspectors, and owners!
