NNPH & RCAC April Workshops
Attention Northern Nevada residents, have you ever wished your home’s septic system and well came with an owner’s manual? Well, you’re in luck. This month, Northern Nevada Public Health (NNPH) and the Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) are teaming up to offer two free in-person workshops focused on domestic wells and septic systems.
These April workshops will help homeowners better understand, maintain, and protect their private water and wastewater systems, while also providing access to valuable resources and technical assistance. Both workshops will include take home materials, Q&A sessions with environmental experts, and guidance on water testing, inspections, and local support programs. The trainings will be available in English and Spanish.
