The NAWT Operations and Maintenance Training Courses were developed in coordination with Consortium of Institutes for Decentralized Wastewater Treatment (CIDWT). Operation & Maintenance 2 concentrates on aerobic tanks, drip irrigation, single pass and re-circulating media filters. Operation & Maintenance 2 is conducted over two days with an exam administered at the conclusion. Operation & Maintenance 1 is a prerequisite to Operation & Maintenance 2. Operation & Maintenance 1 concentrates on the business aspects of O&M and the maintenance requirements for conventional systems including trenches, beds, mounds and at-grade systems with some aerobic tank discussion.

Operations & Maintenance 1 is a prerequisite for Operations & Maintenance 2
and needs to be completed prior to taking this course.
