Homeowner Maintenance of Aerobic Treatment Units

Course Information

In this online course, we will be discussing information that is important to you, the homeowner, for performing proper operation, maintenance, and monitoring service of your onsite wastewater treatment system, also called an Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) and Spray System.

We will also discuss the routine reporting requirements for keeping your ATU & Spray System in compliance with Texas regulations at the state and local level.

For Texas counties that have approved this course, it will allow homeowners to maintain their own Aerobic Treatment Unit. To determine if your county is eligible, contact your local regulatory authority.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the basic operation and maintenance activities for an ATU
• Be a better consumer in the onsite wastewater treatment industry
• Have the knowledge needed to develop a professional relationship with your maintenance providers.

Learners will have 30 days from the day they enroll to complete this course. If you do not complete the program within 30 days, your registration will expire, and you will need to pay the registration fees again to start over.
