Our Mission
The State Onsite Regulators Alliance's (SORA) mission is to advance the field of knowledge and practice of those who regulate onsite wastewater programs by increasing awareness of the latest technology, research, environmental health issues, and new federal initiatives that will affect the decentralized wastewater industry.
Who We Are
SORA is a national organization managed by the National Environmental Services Center (NESC) at West Virginia University. Its members include regulators of decentralized and onsite wastewater systems in all 50 states, U.S. Territories, Native American Tribes, and Canadian Provinces. Affiliate membership is open to organizations and federal agencies having a vested interest in SORA's mission, including private companies (Captains of Industry) that offer products and services for decentralized and onsite wastewater treatment.
What We Do
SORA facilitates dialogue between and among regulators and product developers with the goal of converting quality research, existing information, and state-of-the-art technologies into state and local regulatory programs and engineered solutions that protect public health, preserve water quality and promote the decentralized wastewater industry's place as a viable and sustainable option for wastewater infrastructure.
