The Partnership for Decentralized Wastewater Management (formerly the EPA Decentralized Wastewater Memorandum of Understanding) identified six research projects at its annual meeting. One was to evaluate the effectiveness of long-term maintenance contracts on onsite system performance. As part of the Support and Information work group, the National Association of Wastewater Transporters plays an active role. We’re guiding this important project through you, the pumpers who have first-hand experience with the financial and social acceptance of maintenance contracts and the cost of operating and maintaining advanced treatment technologies.We are an intricate element in the comprehensive design and analysis of this project.
