RCAP Updated Non-Operator’s Guide to Wastewater Systems (2026)

Updated RCAP orientation guide that explains wastewater systems to board members and local decision-makers who are not operators.

Released September 28, 2026, this refresh of RCAP's long-running guide gives new small-utility board members and community leaders the background they need to oversee a wastewater system. It covers why wastewater management matters for public health, natural resources and community growth, and how systems work in plain language. A good handout for municipal authorities and new council members across our small communities.
