During the 2001 State of Utah Legislative session, a bill was passed that established a requirement that persons who design, inspect, or maintain underground wastewater disposal systems (also referred to as septic or on-site wastewater treatment systems), and/or conduct percolation tests or soil evaluations for these systems, must be certified by the State of Utah. Certification can be obtained by completion of training and examination by the Utah On-Site Wastewater Treatment Training Program of Utah State University, followed by application to the Division of Water Quality. Please contact Judy Etherington at the Division of Water Quality or by phone at 801-536-4344 for information on certification.

To prepare for the workshops, please become familiar with the regulations that govern the use of on-site wastewater treatment systems in Utah. These regulations can be found on the Internet at http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r317/r317-004.htm.
