CPOW was created to focus on various issue affecting practitioners within the onsite wastewater industry in both the public and private sectors. Enhancing professionalism, providing education and community outreach, engaging in regulation development and legislative change, as well as the dissemination of information on the long-term impacts that onsite systems may have on the environment if not properly managed. Through the hard work and dedication of CPOW members both past and present, CPOW is now the voice of the onsite professional in Colorado.
Since is conception in 2003, CPOW’s members have been diligent in making great strides to improve our state’s regulation of onsite wastewater treatment systems. CPOW is dedicated to providing its expertise and leadership within all sectors of the onsite wastewater industry so that quality of our water resources are improved and ensured for future generations.
Subsequent to the 2013 changes in Colorado’s onsite wastewater regulations, in addition to the variability between locally implemented programs across the state, understanding specific requirements for the use of high-level treatment products, inspection of systems at the time of title transfer, use permits, licensing of installers, credentials and training of inspectors is becoming more and more critical. To address these variations CPOW has committed to updating its educational materials as well as to continuing to provide necessary information regarding regulatory changes to its members.
