Alberta Innovates (formerly Alberta Research) has been in contact with the AOWMA in relation to a project they are currently engaged in regarding onsite wastewater systems. Specifically they are working on a project focusing on small/cluster wastewater treatment systems for rural Alberta.

The research will focus on the efficiency of cluster systems as a solution for rural communities, the number of cluster systems currently in place in the Province, and the potential cumulative impact of those systems.
