About This Event

Wake County Onsite Water Protection provides essential solutions for well water supply and collecting, treating and distributing wastewater generated by homes or businesses. Typically, wastewater systems include a septic tank, a pump tank (if a pump system), a distribution device and a drainfield designed to efficiently disperse treated wastewater into the ground. Manufacturers play a crucial role in developing and packaging new technologies for groundwater and wastewater systems. Wake County actively collaborates with manufacturers to inform stakeholders about the latest innovations and products available. If you are an engineer, professional geologist, registered environmental health specialist, consultant, licensed soil scientist, installer or work in the profession, make sure to participate in our free, in-person workshop.

Wake County's Onsite Water Protection Division invites you to join the “2024 Fall Onsite Water Protection Installer and Designer Workshop” on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Booth Training Center, located at 4000 Chi Road, Raleigh NC 27603.
