Background Globally, waste management has been a major public health problem. Public knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) and participation are key elements of any waste management program. In Ethiopia, however, the level of KAP and associated factors regarding wastewater management (WWM) at the household level are not well studied and understood. This study was, therefore, conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice and associated factors of wastewater management (WWM) among the residents in Gondar town, Ethiopia. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted during March and April, 2016. A total of 422 participants were selected using the systematic random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect data which were entered and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20. A multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used to ascertain the significance of associations at <0.05 p-value and the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Among 422 study participants included, 63.5%, 43.4%, and 48.6% of them had good knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported practices regarding WWM, respectively. Knowledge of participants was significantly associated with house rent (AOR 1.12, 95% CI (1.22, 3.69), civil servant (AOR 5.47, 95% CI (1.87, 8.02), and positive attitudes (AOR 2.69, 95% CI (1.68, 4.30), while space availability (AOR 1.84, 95% CI (1.23, 2.75), and good knowledge (AOR 2.46, 95% CI (1.61, 3.77) were associated factors of attitudes. Moreover, good knowledge (AOR 1.32, 95% CI (1.87, 2.02), and positive attitudes (AOR 1.03, 95% CI (1.01, 2.34) were significantly associated factors of self-reported practices. Conclusion Limited knowledge, attitudes and practices were seen among study population. A great emphasis on improvement of knowledge, attitudes and practices towards WWM is necessary. Moreover, it would be better to qualitatively explore variables which explain the qualitative attributes of the community, like community Attitudes and knowledge.
