We’ll be there with our giant p**p emoji, Wheel of Water and more to talk all things I/A, ecosanitation, homeowner resources, funding...basically all things wastewater.

EVERYONE IS ASKING…What Are the Current Approved Title 5 Innovative/Alternative Technologies???

Under Title 5 Regulations, MassDEP must approve an innovative/alternative septic-system technology before it can be used in Massachusetts. There are 4 categories of approval:

-General Use systems will provide a level of environmental protection at least equivalent to that of a conventional on-site system designed in accordance with Title 5.

-Provisional Use approval is intended for evaluation of alternative systems that appear technically capable of providing levels of protection at least equivalent to those of a standard on-site disposal system.

-Piloting is intended to provide field-testing and technical demonstration to determine if the technology can or cannot function effectively.

-Remedial Use systems improve existing conditions at a particular facility or facilities served by a failed, failing, or nonconforming system.
