BC Onsite Septic Sewage Systems Risk Assessment course will help you evaluate as to how well your community sewage systems are performing. does the sewage system serve the needs of the residents, were they property designed, built, maintained, or is the system being used to capacity?

For these reasons, risk assessment is an important component of evaluating performance of onsite systems and asset management. In this course, you will learn:
