This site is designed to help service providers develop an Owner’s Guide for everything from a single-family home, to a commercial property, to a cluster system serving 50+ homes. Some key things to keep in mind about the tool:
- It contains generic stock/boiler plate general information, system component descriptions and images, and operations and maintenance (O&M) recommendations
- It allows you to add your own site specific descriptions, images and O&M recommendations
- It will produce a PDF guide for your home or structure to be used electronically or printed out
- It allows you to start and stop a project during the process and update it years later when things change
- It does NOT cover every scenario that exists across the US, but we hope it covers a vast majority of them!
The original tool was created by the University of Minnesota and a comprehensive development team of onsite wastewater professionals.
Partial funding for this research was supported by USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture Award Number 2012-51130-20185.
