The Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association (OOWA) offers a range of resources to help homeowners understand and care for their septic systems. Many homeowners may not be aware of the maintenance that is needed for their septic systems until it is too late.

Did you know that as a homeowner with a septic tank, you have certain responsibilities under the Ontario Building Code? Or that putting something like an ice rink on top of your system can cause serious damage?

If you have a septic system, it’s important to know the DO’s and DON’Ts. This helpful guide is a great place to start.

OOWA is an industry leader in education and advocacy for onsite sewage systems, commonly known as septic systems, and decentralized wastewater management in Ontario.
