WASTEWATER TRAININGS

ON-SITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT IN VERMONT

Approximately 55% of Vermont homes have on-site wastewater treatment systems (often called septic systems), the highest of any state in the U.S. These on-site (decentralized) systems provide treatment for wastewater from a home or business, eventually returning clean water to groundwater.

The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation Drinking Water and Groundwater Protection Division (DWGPD) issues water/wastewater permits for soil-based systems, potable water supplies (water supplies that are not public water supplies), municipal water and sewer connections, administers the Licensed Designer program; and review innovative and alternative systems for potential use in the state.
