WATERINSIGHT
SPRING 2013
FROM YOUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dennis Sternberg
Members of the Arkansas Rural Water Association
Board of Directors and I traveled to the National Rural
Water Association “Water Rally” in Washington D.C.
February 12-14, 2013. Those directors attending were
Wayne Stallings, Diana Woodle, Greg Cross, Greg
Hooten and Steve Wear. Also in attendance were
David Rawls, Manager from Center Grove Water
Association, winner of the Arkansas Great Water Taste
Test, as well as Mark Bennett from ANRC. One of the
guest speakers at the Water Rally was Senator Mark
Pryor who spoke to all those attending pertaining to
the uncertain political climate and what the possibility
of future funding looks like for programs such as
these. During the Water Rally we listened to different
speakers talk about the USDA and EPA funding that
assists water and wastewater systems in Arkansas and
across the nation.
The ARWA delegation attended meetings on
February 12 and 13, 2013 with each Arkansas
Congressional office
detailing the continued
need for federal funding
to provide the services
ARWA provides to all
water and wastewater
systems in the State of
Arkansas. All the members were supportive of
our programs but very frank about the federal governments financial condition and concerns for sequestration happening and the future cuts to government to
reduce the federal debt.
The Arkansas congressional delegation sees the need
for continual funding; however, with the federal budget continuing to get tighter it could be another slim
year for funding for these types of programs.
I would to say “THANK YOU” to all of the Arkansas

ARWA Mission Statement
To provide Arkansas’ Rural Water Utilities the highest level of
Training and Technical Services in order to obtain
Quality Water at the lowest possible cost.
Arkansas Rural Water Association is a non-profit organization of rural and
small publicly owned water and wastewater systems. Our goal is to
enhance the lives of Arkansans. Our efforts to achieve this goal are focused
on providing training and technical assistance to the managers and operators of all eligible systems serving populations not greater than 10,000. We
work with other non-profit organizations in representing the interest of
public water and wastewater systems at both the local and national levels.
• ARWA is affiliated with the National Rural Water Association •

Congressional members and their respective office staff
who have always gone the extra mile to assist ARWA
with our requests. The staff in each one of these
offices do an outstanding job and are very knowledgeable on the issues and should be congratulated for all
their hard work they do everyday for the constituents
of Arkansas. The next time you see one of them,
please remember to say thank you to them for all they
do.
The talk is that the federal government will probably see a Continuing Resolution (CR) for FY13 funding
for the remainder of this year after sequestration is
included. As we continue to talk with Congress we are
hopeful ARWA and the National Rural Water
Association funding requests will be considered as a
very beneficial Environmental Program and be funded
again for FY13 and FY14.
Every water system should have heard the GOOD
news by now that EPA has re-examined their regulations and agreed to allow water systems to post their
Consumer Confidence Report on a web site if it meets
certain requirements. Please contact the ADH for the
specific requirements that water systems have to meet
in Arkansas.
Systems interested can also get your own website at
a reasonable cost by logging onto the Arkansas Rural
Water Association website: www.arkansasruralwater.org
and clicking on RuralWaterImpact for the details of
getting your systems own professional website which
then you can post your CCR. This rule change will
save water systems a considerable amount of money
by not having to pay to have them published into the
local newspaper or by sending them out to each customer by mail.
Everyone should have received the Arkansas
Drinking Water Update Winter 2012, which on page 6,
there is an article asking for “Input Sought - Possible
Water Licensing Regulations Revisions”. The
Engineering Section is seeking wider industry stakeholder input and constructive comments prior to proposing actual regulation changes. So now is the
chance for the water industry to make your feelings
known.
I am sad to report that longtime ARWA Board of
Director Jim Jameson, Public Works Director of the
City of Smackover, Arkansas lost his battle with cancer
on February 27, 2013. Jim was very active in ARWA
and was always looking for opportunities to provide
new services to the ARWA membership. He will be
greatly missed by the ARWA family and the water
industry.
If ARWA can be of any assistance please feel free to
contact me or one of the ARWA staff at 501-676-2255.
By Jim Barkie, ARWA Wastewater Trainer/Technician
One of the most neglected components in a
collection system are the lift stations. Following a
checklist for sewage lift station maintenance can
save your community a great deal of money and
avoid potential problems that pose health-related
risks. Lift stations contain pumps, valves and electrical equipment that function in pumping sewage
waste water from lower areas to elevated pipe collection systems for further processing. All lift stations
require routine preventive maintenance for hasslefree year-round functioning.
Bi-Annual Inspections: Clean wet wells
regularly to prevent build-up of solids which cause
damage and odors. A full cleaning is required at
least twice a year. Also on a bi-annual basis, check
valves which stop back-flow to the wet well.
Quarterly Inspections: Clean pumps,
impellers and floats on a quarterly basis to keep
them free and clear of build-up. If any of the lift
station is left dirty for too long your lift station will
work incorrectly and may cause major problems.
Monthly Inspections: A monthly inspection is
needed to see if the amp and vibration readings on
the various motors in the lift station match the
manufacturers’ requirements. If readings are off,
this can cause damage to the motor and the wiring,
as well as build up inside the motor or impeller.
Weekly Inspections: Weekly inspections of
the alarm and lighting functions are needed to
ensure the system will alert you of any problems.
Also important to check on a weekly basis is the
general appearance of your lift station. If anything
needs to be cleaned, it should be done as soon as it’s
discovered. Weekly scans of the equipment to clean
any noticeable debris or sludge build-up is needed
to keep the lift station in proper working order.

Is Assessment of Public Drinking Water Sources Important?
By: David Quattlebaum, ARWA Source Water Technician
One of the services performed by the
Arkansas Department of Health was
doing a Source Water Assessment for
every water system inside the state. A
source water assessment is intended to
provide a basis for developing, implementing, and improving a source water
protection program. When a Source
Water Protection Plan is done for a water
system, the Assessment done by the
Arkansas Department of Health becomes
an important part of the plan.
These programs require administrative
agencies or individuals to delineate protection areas for water intakes, inventory
significant contaminants within the protection areas, and determine the susceptibility of the water supply, based upon
the conditions found within the protection area(s). These assessments are often
used to focus environmental or public health programs developed by local governments, and concerned
citizens.
In 1998, the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH)
embarked on developing a source water assessment for
Arkansas’ Public Water Supplies. The ADH collaborated with the USGS – Little Rock District Office and the
Arkansas Water Resources Center
(AWRC) to identify the needed assessment methods for the Public Water
System (PWS) Intakes within Arkansas.
The Center for Advanced Spatial
Technologies joined the team to provide
technical assistance with the Geographic
Information System (GIS) analysis and
procedures. This project marked the
first time a statewide assessment of the
source water resources and their susceptibility to potential contamination had
ever been completed for Arkansas.
Systems inside the state of were completed around the end of 2001.
At Arkansas Rural Water Association
(ARWA) we use the Source Water
Assessment Plan as a cornerstone for the
Source Water Protection Plans (SWPP)
we do for Surface Water systems. During
the process of putting together a SWPP we re-evaluate
the watershed and identify potential sources of contamination (PSOC) within the watershed. If some of
the old PSOC’s are no longer in place we will document it. We also document new PSOC’s that are within the watershed. Water Managers need to know what
is in their watershed. Relying on old information
sometimes will not tell the whole story. Many of the
managers that have gone through the process of reevaluating their watershed have mentioned how valuable it is to them to know what is really inside their
watershed.
Having an idea of what exists within your watershed is the first step to having control of PSOC’s within your watershed. Hopefully, ARWA will have the
opportunity to do a Source Water Protection Plan for
all “surface water” systems within the state of Arkansas
during the next few years.
Some of the information within this article came
from the University of Arkansas, Center for Advanced
Spatial Technologies.

DUPLEX PUMP STATIONS
Most of the time in the water and wastewater business, when it is necessary to pump water from one
point of the system to another, such as from a water
treatment plant to an elevated storage tank, or from
one tank to another tank in the system, or from a lift
station on a wastewater system, you will find what is
known as a duplex pump station.
Usually a Duplex Pump Station will consist of two
pumps, usually the same size and type and when new,
each pump will pump the same amount of water or
wastewater. These pumps usually have controls that
will turn pumps on and off as needed. The controls
should be designed and function so that the two pumps
alternate each cycle. This will allow each pump to have
close to the same amount of run time. When a Duplex
Pump Station is designed, the capacity of the pumps
should be sufficient to assure that one of the two
pumps will handle the Maximum Daily Flow rate. In
other words there should never be the need for both
pumps to have to run at the same time.
Many times I find in my visits and assistance with
water and wastewater systems that due to different reasons that both pumps operate together, or only one
pump will operate due to the controls not alternating,
or because the other pump is down due to need of
repair.
Sometimes it is assumed that because there are two
pumps in our pump station that we can pump TWICE
the capacity if it is needed by allowing both pumps to
run together, which is how controls are normally
installed on a duplex pump station. You can find this
occurring quite often with duplex stations at wastewater lift stations after heavy rain fall due to inflow
into the collection system; unfortunately this is not the
way the pumps are designed to operate. Unless the
pumps are installed in series (one pump hooked to the
other), which is not usually the case when both pumps
are run together, you can only expect at most about
40% capacity out of the second pump. I have checked
this flow on some wastewater pumps by use of a sonic
Duplex Booster Pump Station
(Water)
By: Terry Fortenberry, ARWA Circuit Rider
meter or by calculating the flow by using the volume of
the wet well as the pumps are pumping and found that
the second pump would only deliver 5% of its capacity.
One that I checked just recently was determined as following, when pumps were ran by themselves Pump #1
delivered 189 gpm, Pump #2 delivered 187 gpm, and
when both pumps were ran together the total flow rate
for both pumps was only 199 gpm. In this case the
second pump was only pumping 10 gpm (5% of its
normal flow) when ran with the first pump. With this
known you can see that it would not be very beneficial
to allow both pumps to run together and probably be
better to maybe prevent the second pump to run with
the first due to possible additional electrical cost to
operate the second pump during a high demand period.
The solution to this situation would be to try to find
and stop the inflow into the system in order to minimize the pumps ever needing to run together.
Another problem that is seen in my visits with
duplex pump stations is due to the fact that there are
two pumps we can sometimes get a false sense of security when one pump fails and needs repair because we
still have one pump that can do the job. This is true in
a way because this is however the sole reason for having the second pump, (to assure that we can continue
pumping while the pump that fails is repaired.)
Unfortunately, too often repairs to the first pump are
not done immediately due to either lack of repair parts
needed on hand, cost, lack of time to perform the
repair when it happens, or because we feel that there is
plenty of time to repair it later, and when the second
pump fails and the first pump is still unrepaired we
then have an emergency, when in fact it should be considered an emergency when the first pump fails and
repairs should be done and first pump should be
returned to service as soon as possible, to assure that we
always have two pumps.
If ARWA can assist you in this matter or any other
please contact us.

The Importance of Energy Conservation
By Josh Freeman, ARWA Circuit Rider
How do you calculate water loss?
Energy Conservation is getting more and more
important in the water and wastewater industry due to
things such as budgeting getting tighter, cost of chemicals, electricity, and etc. going up seems like everyday.
That’s why Arkansas Rural Water Association has put
two Energy Conservation/Water Loss Classes on the
2013 calendar this year (April 17 & August 7) at the
ARWA Training Facility in Lonoke.
One of the most important ways to conserve energy
on a water system is the control of the system’s water
loss. Lost water is lost money in pumping cost, wear
on pumps, equipment, chemical
cost, and most of all the loss to systems that purchase their water only
to have it leak out of the system.
This can cause a hardship financially to the system. Water loss can be
caused by many different things
such as un-known leaks, not
accounting for fire hydrant usages
or theft (which is becoming real
common). One of the things I find
the most is inaccurate meters in the
master meters or the old residential
meters that have slowed down
throughout the system. Systems
need to have a meter change out
plan for old residential meters.
Systems also need to try having
their master meters tested once a
year to make sure they are still in
compliance for an accurate water loss report. I also get
questions about accounted and unaccounted water
loss and how do you calculate water loss.
To calculate water loss you take water produced/purchased, minus water sold to find amount of water loss,
then divide water loss by water produced/purchased.
Example: Water produced/purchased 2,000,000
Water sold
- 1,700,000
Water loss
300,000
divided by
2,000,000 = .15 or 15%
Like water loss in a distribution
system, infiltration can be just as
important to control in a collection
system in the wastewater industry.
One of the ways to find infiltration
is to perform a smoke test. This is
where smoke is induced into the collection system and smoke will
appear coming out of the ground
where there may be broken mains,
service lines, missing clean outs, as
well as issues with manholes such as
the upper sections being knocked off
their centers causing a gap that
allows the water to enter from the
surface. Camera work is more effective when trying to locate line leaks
very deep under the surface (5’ or
more), as well as locating tree root penetration to the
lines which not only allows unwanted water to enter.
Another important aspect in energy conservation
that gets looked over is the efficiency in the system
pumps and motors. Pump efficiencies decline over
time due to wear (such as impellers wearing down).
One thing a system may do to get more bang for their
buck out of the electric motors is to install a variablefrequency drive (VFD). The system in some cases can
also use the VFD to keep pressure when performing
repairs and maintenance on their water tanks. There
is more learned everyday in how operators and utilities
can conserve energy.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
me at [email protected] or contact us at Arkansas
Rural Water Association at 501-676-2255.
I hope to see everyone at our 2013 Scholarship Golf
Tournament & Operator Expo June 5-6 and the
36th Annual Technical Conference in Hot Springs
September 15- 18.
What is water loss?
Water loss is the difference between the water produced/purchased and the water sold. There are two
kinds of water loss accounted for and unaccounted for.
Accounted for water loss such as breaks, hydrant flushing, and known storage tank over flows, water and
waste water treatment plants, fire departments, and
computer adjustments. Unaccounted for water loss is
things such as un-known leaks, theft, and in-accurate
meters. The acceptable percent of unaccounted water
loss is 10% and 15%.

financial assistance, all required under the Safe
Drinking Water Act. While federal monies are being
scrutinized in Washington, D. C., we assure you that
ARWA will continue to provide the highest quality
training and technical services to water systems and
their customers across this great state.
We encourage you to participate at the Operator
EXPO June 6th and hope to tee off many new teams as
well as our old friends at the memorial golf scholarship tournament on June 5th. Weather will be a perfect 82 degrees both days, promise. And, lastly but
certainly no less important is the ARWA 36th Annual
Technical Conference in beautiful Hot Springs,
September 15-18th. Weather will be a perfect 82
degrees so come on down and experience new classes,
innovative products, and a whole bunch of great times
and good tunes. Don’t forget to pre-register for your
chance at the 4-wheeler to be given away at the show.
Until my next letter or I see you at one of our functions, REMEMBER - keep educating yourself, educating
your public and keep that
safe water flowing!
Great Day Fellow Operators,
If you have not checked out the new and improved
ARWA web site recently, I encourage you to do so now
at www.arkansasruralwater.org. There, you will find all
class information and can download the 2013 training
calendar for your enjoyment. New this year is the
Specialized Training for water and wastewater operators. Attending all three consecutive days will renew
both licenses in one convenient location (yep, we are
the only group in the state offering that benefit).
With the loss of OPCERT funding for small systems,
we hope by providing the three consecutive days, it
will reduce the financial burden of sending operators
to several locations versus only one. These specialized
trainings will be held around the state so be sure to
check your calendar for a location near you.
Also new this year is a one day class dedicated to
energy conservation and water loss (April 17 & August
7). Good class for anyone looking to save money,
electricity, and especially WATER. And I’m sure I do
not need to remind anyone license renewal hours
must be completed before June 30, 2013 or you can
expect a nice letter from Mr. Nutt at the ADH.

What is the Arkansas Water Plan?
The Arkansas Water Plan is our program for the orderly development and management of water and
related land resources—the state policy for water.
The current Water Plan was developed after the drought of 1980. The issues identified and the
proposed solutions to water problems are still relevant today. We have made great progress building
drinking water supplies, improving wastewater treatment, and reducing non-point source pollution
among other advances. It is now time to reassess and prepare for the future.
What is the Update?
Since the 1980s, we have developed years of new data on water use, groundwater declines, population changes, streamflows, and other water issues to update our planning documents. Advances in
computer technology and science have given us the tools to analyze the data more effectively than
ever before.
This update will bring the data, science, and public input together to define water demands, water
supply, and potential solutions to meet our needs for the next 40 years.
Between now and the end of 2014, we will:
• Quantify and identify current and future needs.
• Quantify water supply available for use.
• Work with the public to create a portfolio of water supply and management actions. In
some cases, specific projects and activities will be identified.
How Can You Get Involved?
The Natural Resources Commission has contracted engineering firms to assemble data and review
demands and supplies for agriculture, industry, recreation, municipal water, navigation, fish and
wildlife, power generation, etc. To make sure the update calculates demands and supplies as
accurately as possible, we will have to have the help of the people of Arkansas.
In the early summer of 2013, we will hold several meetings around Arkansas to discuss the way to
calculate water demand and forecast future demand. Feedback from the public will be essential.
Everyone is welcome to be involved or observe the process, and public comment is encouraged at
any time.

• Dear Mr. Sternberg:
Freeman and many more are very important to us for all
they do. It’s not just the training programs. Thanks for
the support and work you do with ADH and funding like
USEPA. You go above and beyond the call. From all of
us at Northeast Yell County Water, Thanks.
January 5, 2013
We would like to take this time to express our sincere
thanks for the services provided by ARWA. In the past
twelve months we lost both of our water operators and
have started from “scratch” on hiring non-experienced
personnel who have been working under my direction
and license. The time since has been and continues to be
a learning experience for all of us and we have had to call
on assistance from the ARWA circuit riders numerous
times. Rodney Baldwin has helped us through several situations with his knowledge of the water industry and is a
valuable “tool” for all water systems.

• ARWA,
Just a quick note to say thank you for the Wastewater I
certification training (Jim Barkie and Susan Poe) and testing which I attended recently at your agency. What a
wonderful training facility and quality staff you have
right here in Arkansas. I am thankful that your agency
exists for not only agencies like Arkansas State Parks but
also for our community members and the private sector.
Also, thanks for the training classes and instructors which
you provide in helping everyone to be able to get
licensed and the continuing education hours for renewing existing license. Again, the ARWA assistance in all
areas of the water industry is invaluable and greatly
appreciated.
The training that your staff provided was well attended
by those in need of service hours and/or certifications for
their jobs, communities and even households. I am
thankful this agency exists and that they are able to provide these much needed and important public services to
satisfy training and employment needs to our beautiful
state of Arkansas.

On January 3, 2013, circuit rider, Josh Freeman conducted a tank inspection. He was inspecting a completed
paint job on the interior of our 80 x 20 standpipe.
Freeman performed a mil test on the paint and a sponge

Thank you for allowing this agency to continue their

Just wanted to say “Thanks” to ARWA and its staff for
playing a vital role in keeping us as Operators well
informed and trained; not to mention all the other programs ARWA has to offer. I recently took the D4 exam at
Clarksville. I truly believe that without ARWA training
programs I would not have been able to pass the exam.
I’m sure that many if not all Operators feel the same way.

We at Van Buren County Water offer our sincere appreciation to you for testing our fire hydrant meters. We suspected one of our meters was incorrect and your test was
conclusive to the fact. We have returned that meter for
warranty work that would not have been accepted without your proclamation.

Josh Freeman for coming and inspecting our tanks for us.

Then just days later after we first had a lightning storm
followed by the snow storm, we were losing approximately 100 thousand gallons a day, were short-handed and
were really reluctant to call, but really in need of assistance and without any hesitation you again answered our
call for help. Not only answered but within a few hours
located the leak.

I recently took and passed my Wastewater I exam at
Lonoke, AR. I was very pleased how the teacher (Jim
Barkie) went over several key points and if anyone in the
class had a question he would always do his best to
answer it, and if there was ever a problem he was more
than happy to help take care of it or further explain it.
The class had a lot of information about several things I
didn’t know till then and I work for City Corporation in
Russellville, AR. I am a wastewater operator so it’s my job
to know and I feel I can help a little more and do better
overall at my job, knowing more about what goes on, furthermore I was very pleased with his attitude and the
way he interacted with all of us not just certain ones.
You guys are doing a great job and I thank you for everything you do.

I would like for you to know that your instructor Mr. Jim
Barkie is a very good teacher. He explains problems and
formulas in detail. He is an asset to your organization. I
will recommend him for future classes to anyone, myself
included. Thank you.
I also sent Matt Hunter, one of our operators, to a class
that Susan Poe set up at Bono on Specialized Training.
Matt was pleased with the training he received and
learned a lot on jetting collection lines and chlorinators
from Henard Utility that he can use in his work at
McCrory. He also learned a lot about safety on both that
was a big benefit. These types of classes not only teach
operators to do their job but also help with trying to keep
them from being hurt on the job. Hope to see more of
them in the future. Dennis, we do appreciate you and
what all your staff does for the operators in the State of
Arkansas. If we may be of assistance to you as well,
please let us know.

Once again the City of McCrory needs to send a letter to
Rodney Baldwin and Susan Poe for their recent assistance.
We had a problem in February with a manhole which
Rodney located for us and a problem at our wastewater
plant that Susan showed up shortly after we discovered it
to help us correct it before it became a major issue and
out of compliance. Susan and Rodney were also able to
help us with a permanent solution to the problem so that
it doesn’t happen again. When it comes to my treatment
plant and distribution system Rodney is wonderful at
solving all our problems. Susan is also my go to girl for
any wastewater issues we have and also a big help with
training my operators for wastewater licensing.

I also attended the Specialized Training at Bono this week
that Susan Poe and Jim Philipp set up and the speakers
were excellent. I enjoyed sitting through the class.
Topics like pumps and motors, sewer jetting and chlorinators are beneficial to the operators. I learned a lot that
I can take back and use at my job. Glad to see these
schools and it was nice to get all my hours for both my
water and wastewater license in one trip while enjoying
the class so close to home.
On behalf of our State Parks Division employees, I would
like to express my gratitude for the specialized water and
wastewater training recently provided by your staff. Your
EPA training specialist, Mr. Jim Philipp, was instrumental
in coordinating instructors to present topics specifically
requested by our agency. The presentations for wastewater included National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permits in conjunction with Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMR), and parameters and maintenance for troubleshooting of lift stations.
Once again thanks for all you do. I know you guys are
always willing to help us water operators and that takes a
load off our minds. Keep up the good work.

As I am sure the applications indicated it was interesting
how many different backgrounds were represented. Some
of us were virtually beginners and some of us had spent
our careers in the field. Some were from industrial backgrounds and some had an administrative background. It
is obvious in your words and actions that you enjoy what
you are doing. The examples you gave both verbally and
in photos were exceptionally well placed within the curricula. I found it inspiring how you were able to keep all
of us engaged and still were able to address individual
needs and weaknesses in a professional and positive manner.

Please accept this letter of appreciation from the City of
Leslie on behalf of Rodney Baldwin, Circuit Rider.
During the past year, the City of Leslie has benefited
from Rodney’s assistance with leak detection on more
than one occasion. Most recently, his expertise helped us
locate several leaks that have been difficult to pinpoint.
In closing, I would like to recognize the USDA and EPA
for their funding of the Arkansas Rural Water
Association’s Circuit Riders. Their funding provides valuable services to rural communities across the state.
Without such funding, communities like Leslie, would
struggle even more.
I was well pleased with the class time versus future benefits and would recommend this class and you as an
instructor to anyone interested in becoming an operator.

Water Audits
By Rodney Baldwin, ARWA Circuit Rider
tions. Having a good set of maps that are up to
date will also add to your ability to locate your
water lines and valves. This is very important in
leak detection as well as in case of an emergency on
your system that might keep you from draining
your system down and having to be on a boil order.
It can also minimize the number of customers that
may be without water. Relying on your memory for
locating valves during an emergency is not the best
practice, as well protecting the system when persons
familiar with locations of important elements are
no longer there.
Water audits will help to save lost water, as well
as wasting of money to pump and treat, which in
the long run will save your consumers increases in
water rates. Being a good steward of preventing
losses not only protects your supply it could also
protect your job.
If you would like to learn more about water
audits or need assistance with valve location or leak
detections please contact us at Arkansas Rural Water
Association for more information.
T
here is a lot of focus these days on performing a
water audit of your system to reduce costs and
prevent unnecessary rate increases. Maintaining
water loss is a big part of your water audit and
should be done on an annual basis, this will help
you to justify water rates as well as the need for a
rate increase when it becomes necessary. Your system’s present rate may not be allowing you to keep
up with an ageing system. Knowing not only the
location of key components of your system, it is
also important to be familiar who your minimum
users are, as well as your high end users, which can
also help you to save money by making necessary
upgrades which should be done to keep up with
demand. By locating and fixing leaks you will save
money on chemicals and electrical power use, as
well as possible emergency problems before they

It’s that time of year again,
our golf tournament on the 5th
and following the next day the
operator expo. Any operator
needing some hours to complete the much needed license
requirement should attend this
very informative event. Again,
I ask for your input on ways to
make this event better each
year.
We have made many
changes to the event to make it
better and more fun every year.
I hope to have some new
venders, and some that offer
technology that brings water
systems up to date for now and
the future. Some of the events
we have help raise money for
the scholarship that is given
away at the ARWA conference
every year.
One event, the Super Ditch
Witch, will grab your attention
drawing you to the display of
raw power!! There will be contests such as repairing a leak in
Annual Operator Expo
June 6, 2013
By Tim Carey, ARWA Circuit Rider
a pipe. This is a timed test
which offers a prize for the best
time. Our venders also have
contests using the equipment
being displayed to complete
the task. New contests are
added each year, with the
chance to sharpen your skills
and possibly win a prize.
At the conclusion of the
expo, a wonderful meal will be
provided by HD Supply, a full
service supply company that
can help with any of your
water and wastewater needs.
All of our venders offer different types of equipment and
products that will make our
systems run smooth. I really
hope to see you all at the Expo
and get the chance to fellowship with our friends and partners.
