Who We Are

The DOWRA was established in the fall of 1996 to promote the ideals and importance of the use and reuse of wastewater. Wastewater is the water that has passed through the plumbing system of your house. The recycling of water is vital to the environment, wildlife, and humans. DOWRA wants to inform homeowners, politicians, real estate agents, and the on-site industry of the importance of the need for on-site wastewater treatment and disposal systems.

On-Site wastewater treatment and disposal systems are found in various forms such as in individual on lot systems, large/community systems, spray irrigation or small treatment plants. DOWRA members represent every aspect of the industry from the site evaluator to the waste hauler. The membership combines the knowledge and experience of some of the best individuals within the State of Delaware as well as the Delmarva Peninsula.
