About

North Dakota Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association (NDOWRA)

The North Dakota Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association (NDOWRA) has been established as a 501 (c) 6 non-profit corporation with IRS and registered with the State of North Dakota. Our mission is to promote the proven methods, technologies, and the collected professionalism gathered through many years of experience and proven results.

The Onsite Wastewater Recycling Technical Committee is established. We meet in Bismarck at the Capitol twice monthly. Details are on the Secretary of State’s website, sos.nd.gov.

Members of the committee are as follows:

  • Tom Schimelfenig
  • Darin Jesperson
  • David (Bruce) Ellingson
  • James Heckman
  • Lisa Otto Westman
  • Daphne Clark

There is legislation at the federal level that provides funding assistance for onsite wastewater system rebuilds. Some funding has already been approved, and we are working on more.
