IAPMO renews participation in U.S. EPA MOU on decentralized wastewater treatment systems
IAPMO announced it renewed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to collaborate on improving the overall performance and management of decentralized wastewater treatment systems. IAPMO originally joined the 20-partner MOU in 2014.
Partners representing national organizations across the wastewater and sanitation industry, state and local governments and federal agencies work together to achieve such goals as improving the performance of decentralized systems, increasing public awareness, providing homeowner outreach and education, especially by improving access to decentralized options for low-income or underserved households, via a strengthening of external partnerships.
