WaSH Needs and Septic Programs for Vehicle Residents

Join Mary Sweeney and Chris Wilkerson for an in-depth look into the groundbreaking RV Wastewater Program at the 2024 Vehicle Residency Summit. This presentation will showcase how the program collaboratively engages community governments, charities, and businesses to deliver impactful water quality results while upholding compassion and humanity. The program has achieved significant milestones, including over 5,246 wastewater collections and 13,454 outreach visits, ultimately disposing of approximately 250,000 gallons of waste.

This initiative, in partnership with St. Vincent de Paul Seattle/King County RV/Vehicle Outreach, emphasizes a humane approach to community service. The team facilitates professional wastewater services alongside essential person-to-person outreach, providing basic supplies and resource information, and distributing over 10,000 boxes of food and other supplies.

Attendees will gain insights into the operational challenges and successes of this unique model, the partnership dynamics, and the continuous efforts to cover every neighborhood in Seattle, ensuring no one is left behind. The session will conclude with a Q&A panel discussion, inviting audience engagement to explore deeper into the strategies and impacts of the RV Wastewater Program.
