\"\"<\/a>The Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association (OOWA), Western Canada Onsite Wastewater
\nManagement Association (WCOWMA), and Waste Water Nova Scotia Society invite all
\nseptic system owners across Canada to take part in Septic Awareness Week, taking place
\nSeptember 15\u201319, 2025. This initiative is aimed at promoting responsible septic system
\nuse and maintenance through education and public engagement.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the week is a free, interactive webinar on Monday, September 15, from 7:00
\nto 8:00 p.m. Open to septic system owners, this online session will provide practical
\ninsights, maintenance tips, and expert guidance to help participants care for their systems, prevent failures, and protect nearby water sources.<\/p>\n

Throughout the week, OOWA will be sharing daily tips and helpful hints for homeowners on septic system care via its website and social media channels. Homeowners are also
\nencouraged to explore OOWA\u2019s Homeowner Resources page atwww.oowa.org\/homeowner-resources for practical guides, videos, and downloadable
\nmaterials.<\/p>\n

With millions of septic systems in use across the country, it\u2019s critical that owners understand how their systems work and what simple steps can extend the life of their investment. Septic Awareness Week encourages everyone to be proactive in ensuring these essential systems function efficiently and safely.<\/p>\n

“As President of the Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association, I want to emphasize the critical role onsite sewage systems play in protecting our environment and public health. Septic Awareness Week is a time to remind everyone that regular maintenance isn’t just a recommendation – it’s a responsibility. By taking simple steps today, we ensure clean water and a healthier Ontario for future generations.” \u2014 Bill Goodale, President of the Board of Directors, Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association; Tatham Engineering Ltd.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the Association\u2019s key priorities is educating the public about onsite wastewater treatment systems. Understanding how these systems work, how to care for them properly, and why it matters is an essential first step toward responsible ownership. Septic Awareness Week offers a valuable opportunity for system owners to learn the basics and beyond. When it comes to septic systems, \u2018out of sight\u2019 should never mean \u2018out of mind.\u2019\u201d
\n\u2014 Kelly Andrews, Executive Director, Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association (OOWA)<\/p>\n
