Welcome
to the Alberta Onsite Wastewater Management Association
The Alberta Onsite Wastewater Management Association (AOWMA) is the provincial not-for profit organization established to educate, train and certify industry professionals. The association engages its member installers, septage haulers, suppliers, municipalities and provincial government departments to arrive at sound practices that strengthen the industry, and ensure safe and effective septage management for all rural Alberta. The 2011 Convention and Trade Show takes place from January 20 to 22, 2011 inclusive. The show is prefaced on 20th and the 23rd with Standard of Practice Update training for those still requiring this program. Following the convention on the 23rd a Design Workshop will be held for those wishing to hone their assessment and design skills on various systems.

Standard of Practice 2009 Update Training The 2009 Standard of Practice for Private Sewage Systems (SOP) was signed into legislation by the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. Copies of the SOP are available for shipping through the AOWMA office upon request. Onsite Wastewater Practitioners received a notice from Alberta Municipal Affairs informing them of a need to participate in update training to the new Standard of Practice prior to April 2011 in order to maintain PSDS certification. As of July 15, 2010, twelve training sessions have been held throughout the Province. More training sessions will be slated for fall/winter 2010. For more information or to be waitlisted for SOP update training, please contact the AOWMA office. First Aid Training Available for Members First Aid training is now available for members at a special rate through Principle Safety.
