Formed in 1997, The Tennessee Onsite Wastewater Association (TOWA) is a professional organization open to those working to advance and promote the onsite wastewater industry in Tennessee.

TOWA serves all members of the industry, including installers, manufacturers, field practitioners, suppliers, engineers, soil scientists, distributors, research professionals, educators, consultants and governmental regulatory personnel. We want you to be a part of this Association.
