In 2025, IOWPA has restructured the method in which Field Day programming is offered and marketed to our membership. Moving forward, IOWPA’s role in these projects will be limited to assistance in marketing for up to 5 projects per year that are board-approved and that meet the requirements for marketing. Below is an outline of the process:
- Any IOWPA member contractor that is interested in taking the lead on a charitable septic installation project will be the point person for the installation, permits, and collection of donated materials – essentially seeing the project through from beginning to end the same as any other project.
- The contractor may submit the project information to IOWPA to be considered as a project that gets distributed to the membership as an opportunity to assist. IOWPA will market up to 5 project opportunities per year upon submission and board approval.
- A project information form should be completed in its entirety and submitted no fewer than 10 weeks prior to when the anticipated installation date will be. The board will review projects on a rolling basis and market the first five opportunities that are submitted with complete information forms.
- IOWPA will post the project information on our website and share information with members who might be interested in donating materials, equipment, financial resources, or time. Those interested in participating will be asked to communicate directly with the lead contractor in charge of the project.
- IOWPA will not sponsor the projects in a financial manner or assist in scheduling installation or coordination of donations.
- IOWPA will not collect donations or provide tax deductions to anyone participating.
- It will be the contractor’s full responsibility to manage their project in accordance with state and local regulations.
