NOWRA Onsite Wastewater Mega-Conference 2026 | Westminster, Colorado
October 25–28, 2026 | The Westin Westminster | Westminster, Colorado
Theme: "Peak to Plains, Elevating the Future of Wastewater"
The National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association's annual Mega-Conference is the largest gathering of decentralized and onsite wastewater professionals in the United States — and the 2026 edition, running October 25–28 at the Westin Westminster in Westminster, Colorado, is shaping up to be the biggest yet. Produced jointly with the National Association of Wastewater Technicians (NAWT) and the State Onsite Regulators Association (SORA), and hosted alongside Colorado Professionals in Onsite Wastewater (CPOW).
For anyone working in decentralized wastewater — whether that's grinder pump systems, advanced onsite treatment, pressure sewer infrastructure, septic-to-sewer conversions, or onsite system design and inspection — this is the national event that delivers the deepest technical programming of the year.
Why This Conference Is Relevant to Grinder Pump and Pressure Sewer Professionals
Decentralized wastewater infrastructure — low-pressure sewer systems, individual grinder pump units, small-diameter force mains — is one of the fastest-growing segments of the municipal wastewater space. As more communities face the cost and terrain challenges of extending conventional gravity sewer service, pressure sewer systems using grinder pump technology have become the default solution across rural and difficult-terrain service areas.
