Treatment of wastewater using onsite systems, such as septic tanks and drainfields, plays a very important role in protecting the environment of Nebraska and supporting economic development. Since wastewater contains chemicals and byproducts that are harmful to humans and the environment, onsite systems must be correctly installed and maintained.

Extension at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is actively involved in educational programming that helps homeowners, industry, and youth audiences understand onsite wastewater systems. Through a better understanding of these systems, Nebraskans will benefit from improved water quality and a cleaner environment. Read on to learn about some of the educational programming that is currently taking place through Extension.
