Welcome to the Ontario Rural Wastewater Centre!

Our Mission:

To promote environmentally sustainable development of rural and unsewered areas through the effective use of wastewater treatment and dispersal technologies.

Our Mandate:

To provide training, demonstration and applied research in the areas of:

  • residential on-site wastewater treatment, including septic systems;
  • small community wastewater treatment;
  • nutrient and agri-food wastewater management.

 


We're pleased to announce that the University of Guelph-ORWC is an MMAH approved delivery agency for the Part 8 Ontario Building Code licensing course. Our next offering of the licensing workshop is March 26 - 30, 2012 - go to our Current Courses page for more information or contact Katherine. We are also developing a new 1 day Part 8 refresher & exam preparation workshop - stay tuned for more details.


Check out the funded research opportunities (M.A.Sc. and M.Sc) at the ORWC! Positions funded are based out of the University of Guelph and the Alfred Campus. Contact Doug or Katherine for other funded research projects at the University of Guelph.
