The Utah On-site Wastewater Association (UOWA) was created in 1998 with the help of Utah State University’s Utah On-site Wastewater Treatment Training Program.

UOWA membership is offered to onsite industry professionals consisting of contractors, engineers, consultants, academics, product manufacturers, commercial distributors, and regulators. UOWA objectives include developing awareness of water quality issues, improving on-site programs and regulations, and promoting continuing education and advancement of on-site issues and technologies for on-site professionals.

UOWA’s efforts have made an indelible mark on Utah’s on-site professional community by increasing knowledge and expertise amongst on-site professionals. This has encouraged better partnership between state agencies, local regulators, on-site system designers, contractors, property owners, and community officials toward improving water quality throughout Utah.
