ORC NEWS FOR PFWD original

 
Colorado Rural Water Association (CRWA) announces the release of two Onsite Wastewater Treatment System(OWTS) Videos!!!
 
These videos, now on YouTube, educate homeowners about Onsite Wastewater Treatment System regulations, installation, components and maintenance. A collaborative effort between CRWA, Colorado Professionals in Onsite Wastewater (CPOW) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), the idea for the videos was derived from the concept of protecting community drinking water supplies from malfunctioning OWTS. The links to the YouTube videos are below:
 
 
Westbank Ranch HOA:
 
CRWA/CPOW:
 
The Westbank Ranch HOA video was created to empower homeowners to learn how to maintain their individual OWTS. The maintenance demonstration was conducted by Carla Ostberg of all service SEPTIC/CBO. Inc. That event gave us the impetus to move forward to create the more comprehensive video which includes interviews with Environmental Health officials explaining OWTS regulations, installation, components and maintenance.
 
Funding for the project was provided by the CDPHE via source water protection grants for the Town of Carbondale and Westbank Ranch HOA. CRWA and CPOW also contributed to the project that was produced by Versatile Productions located in Carbondale, CO.
 
This email is being sent to Public Water Systems throughout Colorado, Colorado Public Health Association, Colorado Association of Local Public Health Officials, Colorado Environmental Health Association, Colorado Counties, Inc., Colorado Watershed Assembly and Water Education Colorado. Please post the videos on your website and feel free to distribute this email to other pertinent agencies, counties, municipalities, family, friends and neighbors.
 
Thanks and enjoy the videos!
