Septic Awareness Week 2025

Mark your calendars: September 15 to 19, 2025
Septic Awareness Week is around the corner! Taking place from September 15 to 19, 2025, this annual event highlights the importance of proper septic system care. As part of our ongoing commitment to public education, WCOWMA aims to help homeowners understand the value of maintaining a healthy onsite wastewater system.

This initiative runs in conjunction with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Septic Smart Week and offers a valuable opportunity to share best practices for the operation and upkeep of septic systems. We advocate for the use of certified contractors for all aspects of design, installation, maintenance, and inspection.
