During Septic Awareness Week, WCOWMA-BC collaborated with the Capital Regional District on the delivery of three Septic Savvy presentations.

In-person presentations were held on Tuesday, September 24, in the Highlands and Wednesday, September 25 in Sidney, while a webinar focusing on the Gulf Islands was held on the evening of September 26.

The focus for these presentations was operation and maintenance of onsite wastewater treatment systems and the CRD’s Maintenance Bylaw 3479, which requires regular servicing of septic systems in Saanich, Langford, Colwood, and View Royal.
