Get Ready for the 13th Annual SepticSmart Week! September 1, 2025 By Katelyn McLaughlin Decentralized Wastewater decentralized wastewater, septic, septicsmart 0 What are you planning to do for this year's SepticSmart Week? This is the perfect time for communities, national organizations, local groups, and governments to come together and bring attention to the importance of caring for and maintaining septic systems through homeowner education and public outreach. Now is the time to start planning if you haven't already! You can peruse the SepticSmart Week page at the EPA at your own pace or check out these particular (free!) resources we recommend for reaching and educating homeowners: SepticSmart Education Materials — EPA Toolkit SepticSmart Quick Tip Videos Do's and Don'ts of Your Septic System — Flier Do Your Part — Infographic Homeowner Training Materials — NOWRA Learning Module We would also recommend everyone to encourage their local government leaders to sign an official SepticSmart Week Proclamation. You can find links to different proclamation templates for governors, mayors, and tribal/community leaders at the EPA webpage!
