A focused approach to
decentralized wastewater.
Every onsite wastewater project sits at the intersection of land, water, people, and infrastructure. Its long-term success depends on how well those connections work together.
Onsite Institute is a North Carolina 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We connect technical assistance, education, curriculum development, scholarships, and workforce initiatives to support decentralized wastewater systems and the people responsible for them.
