Septic Smart Week Webinar Series
Septic Smart Week Webinar Series
September 19-23, 2022
Each year, EPA holds Septic Smart Week with outreach activities to encourage homeowners and communities to care for and maintain their septic systems.
Septic Smart Week, seeks to inform homeowners on proper septic system care and maintenance, assist local agencies in promoting homeowner education and awareness, and educate local decision makers about infrastructure options to improve and sustain their communities. We are therefore pleased to provide this webinar series to address these objectives. The series is hosted by the Arizona Onsite Water Reclamation Association (AzOWRA) and the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension. Please join us at noon this week, Monday through Friday, for a 30-minute presentation featuring AzOWRA Septic Professionals, followed by a Q&A session. Webinar links are below in red.
The Arizona Onsite Water Reclamation Association mission is to provide value to our membership, rural and suburban property owners, those engaged in the onsite trades, and Arizona residents in general, through education, training, promotion of quality services and advocacy regarding onsite wastewater treatment, reuse and management.
