| South Carolina Onsite Wastewater Association |
Association Events.... The Association kicks off 2026 with our annual two-day State Conference in February, bringing together professionals from across South Carolina for education, networking, and industry updates. In 2025, we also hosted quarterly Regional Meetings across the state, each featuring an open Board Meeting and opportunities for CEU credits. Beginning in 2026, we’re shifting to hands-on Field Days designed to provide interactive learning and real-world training experiences for onsite wastewater professionals. See the schedule below for upcoming event dates. |
