The Michigan Onsite Wastewater Training and Education Center is used by campus faculty and wastewater experts to teach a variety of onsite waste disposal and soils topics.  These classes are one and two days long and deal with the proper selection, installation, and maintenance of septic tanks, drain fields, pressure systems, sand filters, oxygenators and other small-scale wastewater disposal systems.  Classes are aimed primarily at sanitarians, contractors, installers, inspectors and anyone else that is interested in knowing about what goes on once wastewater leaves the house.  Classes are generally small with time divided between lectures and hands-on demonstrations.  There is always lots of opportunity for questions and discussion.
