The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is holding its third annual SepticSmart Week Sept. 21-25. As an industry trade association, the National Association of Wastewater Technicians asks you to join in during SepticSmart Week and encourage homeowners and communities to care for and maintain their septic systems.Across the country, local environmental groups, health departments and governments face the challenges posed by improperly maintained and failing septic systems. The EPA and NAWT, along with your help, seek to assist these local agencies in promoting homeowner education and awareness.Statistically, nearly one-quarter of all American households depend on septic systems to treat their wastewater.
