2007 was the first year the school was held on the Wesleyan Campus and it proved both cost effective and helpful to the students. Wesleyan has been gracious enough to allow us to have our classes at their institution again this year 2008. Because of its central location, we will save COWRA a great deal of money and give the students a better feeling about learning in an academic environment.

The 2008 Membership Drive will begin soon. Please do not forget to send in your 2008 Membership dues.  Your prompt attention to the Membership is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you once again for another year.

From The President:  Frank Talarico
 
We are now in our 40th year as an involved association formally Connecticut Sewage Disposal Association.

To keep up with the rest of the nation, we have since changed our name to Connecticut Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association.  Our members are septic installers, cleaners, professional engineers, manufacturers and suppliers.  Our objective is to keep members informed to regulations at the State and Local levels.  We work with the Connecticut State Department of Public Health (D.P.H) and the Department of Environmental Protection (D.E.P) to give input and experience of our members to help make better regulations, designs, manufacturing requirements. These help improve the ground water that we drink by providing better septic system installationsa and disposal sites, which recycle our wastes back to the earth.
This helps cleanly replace and maintain our water supplies.

We also have hired Evans Associates, a lobbying firm, to keep watch on any bills brought before the State Legislation that affect our trades.

We also have classes put on each year to inform, teach and prepare anyone who is interested in becoming septic installers or septic cleaners.

We welcome new members to keep our organization strong and improve our trade.  For all visitors to this site you can find members in the septic trades to help you with all you needs.

Sincerely,

Frank Talarico
