Welcome to the Onsite Wastewater Resource Center

This resource center offers a diverse array of resources. Whether you are:

•  a town official trying to implement a wastewater management program,

•  an outreach education group helping tackle wastewater issues,

•  a property owner looking for information on choosing or maintaining a septic system,

•  a licensed designer or installer looking for the latest research about different technologies, or

•  a service provider seeking information about inspection requirements in different towns,

we think you'll be able to find what you need here!

Information contained in this resource center was generated, in part, due to work prepared by URI Cooperative Extension for the National Decentralized Water Resources Capacity Development Project as well as work done under the Block Island and Green Hill Pond Watershed National Decentralized Wastewater Demonstration Project, funded by the US EPA.
