Earlier this month, SOWMA received a letter from Saskatchewan Health endorsing our six day Onsite Wastewater Practitioner Training Program. Contractors who participate in and successfully complete this training will be registered with their regional health office as trained installers.

Although the training is voluntary at this time, it is anticipated that over the next few years, the training will be made mandatory. Those that complete their training prior to that time will ensure that they are already registered as trained with their health office, while others are waiting for an available training session. Over 45 contractors have already been trained in Saskatchewan.

SOWMA will be contacting all those who have completed the training prior to provincial endorsement to begin the process of registering them as trained with their regional health office.
