WCOWMA in partnership with the Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association (OOWA) hosted its annual Septic Awareness Week from September 18 – September 22.

In addition to a social media campaign and newsletters about proper operation and maintenance of onsite wastewater treatment systems, each provincial chapter of WCOWMA provided webinars for homeowners throughout the week. Two Septic Sense webinars were hosted by WCOWMA-BC, two were hosted by AOWMA, one by SOWMA and one by MOWMA. A total of 184 homeowners registered for the various webinars.

Homeowners in Alberta have the opportunity to participate in live or virtual presentations hosted by their Municipal District or County throughout the year. This opportunity is available in all Western Provinces; call your rural district or municipality and request a presentation!
