The story in mylocal newspaper recently could

only be labeled as tragic.A fatality at a work

site occurred near myhome. A backhoe operatoroff to the side of a busyroad was clearing trash when he was hitby a truck. The truck flipped on its side,bursting into flames and causing a scenebetter suited for an action movie insteadof a daily commute.

The backhoe operator died, while thetruck driver was taken to the hospital incritical condition. Such a tragedy.

Reports show the driver of the truckmost likely never used his brakes. There were no skid marks on the road to indicate the truck was slowing when itcollided right into the backhoe.

As June is National Safety Month,perhaps you think this is the part where Ibegin listing all of the errors made by thebackhoe operator and his crew.

Maybe you think I’m going to saythere were no warnings of “workers upahead” or they didn’t mark off their jobsite area. Perhaps you’re thinking theywere working in weather or a time of daywhen the visibility of drivers on the roadwas impacted.

Sadly, you’d be wrong.The crew appeared to have done its

job. Their site area was marked off.There was a sign indicating it was working beside the road. The accidenthappened during a clear, sunny day.

Like I said, you struggle to come upwith anything other than “tragic.”

So instead of trying to make sense ofit, I think we should try to take some-thing from it. The accident clearly showsme one thing: You can’t be too careful.

Obviously, you can’t control others,but you can control what you and yourcrew do every time you leave the officeand head to a job site.

So regardless of how long you’vebeen in the industry, don’t coast throughyour company’s safety meetings. Anddon’t let your crew drift off during dailytailgate talks.

Discuss. Learn from each other. Makeadjustments. You can always get betterand you can always get safer.

Never take shortcuts. If a piece ofequipment can be moved or the site ad-justed to enhance the safety of you andyour crew, do it. It’s not an argument thatdoing so will take time or is probably unnecessary.

Always mark your job site properly. If you’re in an area rarely frequented, so what? Still mark it. It only takes one person not paying attention to cause atragedy.

One final example from the accidentnear my house: Along with warning signsindicating his presence, a properlymarked job site, and a beautifully clearday, the backhoe operator was workingbehind a guardrail. Can there be anyquestion he thought he was headinghome that night?

Make sure the story about you andyour crew features the word “safe” andnot “tragedy.”

WHAT YOU’RE SAYING

waterwelljournal.com

Adjusting Testing ProceduresHello Gary,

Your article “Well Inspection Con-tracts” (April 2013) about well inspec-tions and reports was good and I read itwith great interest before giving it to mywife who also carefully read it.

We have had to adjust our well test-ing procedures this past year. The olddays of calling a friend who is a realtorabout a well we had experience with,

stopping by the well to get a currentstatic level, and making a quick phonecall to the realtor to say the well is fineare gone.

We took three beatings a little morethan one year ago. We then sat downwith our pros in our office and hashedout the much more expensive but com-prehensive knock-down, drag-out waywe have of doing our well testing/reporting now.

Getting sucked down the black liabil-ity hole of promising future perform-ance for a water system is one of thedifficulties of business these days. Theother one is disclosure. We had to builda Well Test E-WOA (work order agree-ment) that gets sent out to anyone whothinks they need a well test inspection.

The viciousness of buyers and sellersthese days is such that any verbal con-versation anyone has in our little com-pany with a buyer or seller, their realtor,or any interested party gets summarizedinto an e-mail and sent to every party inthe transaction. It takes a huge amount

of time and organization, but the busi-nesses that don’t get their act togetherwith some version of paperwork likethis are going to get eaten alive.

We have also for the past year beensending out Service Call E-WOAs to al-most everyone who wants repair workdone. When we first developed this, wehad a local plumber who’s been in busi-ness here for 30 years read over the doc-ument. He shook his head and told usthat there was no way anyone wouldever agree to it. But we’ve had onlythree potential clients not agree to it and we already knew we didn’t want towork with them anyway. This new wayof taking care of business has been100%.

Thank you again for your article.Good stuff!Joel Hellwege, HSJustice Water Systems Inc.Pagosa Springs, Colorado

A s a water well driller or pumpinstaller, you could be asked toinspect a private water wellsystem for a real estate transferor refinancing transaction. This should be a comparatively sim-ple task to perform since you are in thebusiness of building and maintainingthese same items. It’s made even easier in many statesbecause there are no licensing standardsfor who can conduct private and sharedwater well system inspections for realestate transfers. The only qualifying cri-teria that you might have to meet arewhat might come from the mortgagelender in your state.

You may be asked on occasion to in-spect a private water well system thatyou actually drilled and equipped as a contractor. Simple enough task to inspect it, right? Just go out to the property, take a look around, check the equipment, and write a report thateverything is working okay. Sounds like a pretty good way to pick up a fewbucks when things are slow. But before you do, step back andtake another look at what this inspectionrequest really is—or better yet, what itisn’t. It isn’t contracting and it’s not aservice call. So right off, it may not becovered by your contractor’s liability insurance policy. Work of this typewould normally be covered by Errorsand Omissions (E&O) policies.

And if your report states, certifies, or otherwise implies a warranty of thewell’s performance as the lenders oftenrequire, you may not be covered by yourcontractor liability insurance policy. A dictionary definition of the word“certify” strongly implies that underyour hand and seal you have attested tothe accuracy and validity of what isstated in your report. If you drilled orequipped the well that you inspectedand certified in your report, then there islittle room to explain why you neglectedto report some aspect of the system thatis later found to be inadequate. For example, if you state in your inspection that the well is capable ofproducing 10 gallons per minute, whatmight it imply to the buyer? You couldhave been reporting that the pump is a10 gpm model that produces between 5gpm and 15 gpm depending upon totaldynamic head? To a realtor it couldmean that you certified that this well iscapable of 10 gpm all day. Persons not familiar with privatewater wells are not expected to knowwhat a drawdown measurement is, what

Make sure they fully understand the limitations of your inspection, and the qualification of what it means for the future of the well performance.

The June 2013 issue of Water Well Journal contains ourannual buyers guide as well as timely articles as Juneis National Safety Month. Here is more of what is on

the pages ahead.The 2013 Water Well Journal Buyers Guide begins on

page 45. Viewing is essential if you are in the market for newequipment or tools. The guide is divided into four sections.The first is an index of products and services. It’s followed bya directory of manufacturers, a directory of suppliers andmanufacturer representatives, and a listing of trade names andtheir manufacturers. The index features a detailed list of prod-ucts and services used in the industry. The directories featureequipment descriptions and complete contact information,making it easier when it’s time to make that next purchase.

The important safety topic of tire maintenance is the sub-ject of the cover story by freelance writer Jennifer Strawn. In “Where the Rubber Meets the Road” on page 23, shepoints out how tire selection, care, and maintenance are key topreventing costly accidents and keeping youand your crew safe on the road. She goes overbasic tire maintenance; doing visual inspectionsof your tires; proper tire inflation, tire align-ment, balancing and rotation; how to select theright tires for your vehicles; and knowing whenthey need replaced. She also details what to dowhen you have a tire blowout on the road.Knowing what to do can be the key between bringing a vehi-cle to a safe stop and having a costly rollover accident.

Safety is the subject of a new column debuting in WaterWell Journal this month titled “On Site.” It will be authoredby Victor Rotonda, who has more than 25 yearsof geotechnical and environmental drilling ex-perience. On Site will focus on issues relatingto the drilling job site and the first installmenton page 32 is titled “Let’s Talk Safety.” In it,Rotonda, who works for Geoprobe Systems inToms River, New Jersey, asks “Are we doingeverything we can to make the work sitesafer?” and “What can we do that prepares usfor tomorrow, knowing safety will remain the number oneissue in our industry?” One of the things that can be done is tohave a work system where the job site is organized and toolsare laid out based on consistency, organization, and planning.

The monthly installment of Safety Mattersgoes over the pesky—and timely—problem ofexposure to summer insects with “Taking theSting Out of Insect Exposure” on page 34.Columnist Jack Glass, MS, CIH, says one maynot think insects are a critical problem, but wellover 5000 cases leading to 243 deaths from theWest Nile virus were recorded by the Centersfor Disease Control last year and it is not unreasonable tothink 2013 could see a greater total. Glass goes over problemsinvolving mosquitos, bees, wasps, and ticks. He also lays outthe importance of a prevention and protection plan.

The column, ACT Like a Sales Pro by Julie Hansen, emphasizes how asking the right questions atthe right time can impact you closing sales withcustomers. In “Building Customer Rapport with Questions . . . Quickly!” onpage 36, Hansen says feeling rushed by timeand focusing on sales results can block ourability to develop a good rapport with a cus-tomer. This is a mistake as buying decisions areheavily influenced by emotions and rapport allows emotionsto develop in an atmosphere of trust. Hansen then goes overthe importance of asking good rapport-building questions and provides five tips that will help you quickly establish arapport with your customers.

In a Water Well Personalities profile titled “Gone Diving”on page 29, Senior Editor Mike Price writesabout KC Water Filtration & Purification, aunique pump and filtration company in LagoVista, Texas. Kelly Clark combines his lovefor diving in the pump and filtration businessthat he created in 1999. Both Kelly and hiswife, Cristy, are certified divers and installlake water retrieval pump and filtration sys-tems for residential and commercial customers within a 200-mile radius. Business is split between residential and irrigation. No one else in the area offers the services KCWater Filtration & Purification provide. Kelly estimates hedives four to six hours a week and says nearly 80% of busi-ness stems from customer referrals. Safety is first priority on job sites. The terrain is unforgiving, especially with lakelevels dropping. Kelly wears a light and knife on each dive.Lots of lost fishing and trot lines and rope are in the lake. Healso has to watch out for water moccasins. His crew includeshis wife, nephew, and two employees.

Construction Figures Result inMixed Impact on First-QuarterGDPThe Associated General Contractors

of America’s Data DIGest reports: Real (net of inflation) gross domestic

product (GDP) increased 2.5% at a sea-sonally adjusted annual rate in the firstquarter of 2013, after growing 0.4% in the prior quarter, the Bureau of Eco-nomic Analysis reported on April 24. Real private investment in nonresi-

dential structures (including wells andmines) slipped 0.3%, after jumping 17%in the fourth quarter of 2012. Real resi-dential investment climbed 13%, fol-lowing an 18% gain. Real governmentinvestment in structures shrank for the10th consecutive quarter, at a 5.6% rate,following a 2.6% decline. The priceindex for private nonresidential struc-tures posted a 1.5% increase at a season-ally adjusted annual rate, similar to theprevious quarter’s 1.4% rise. The priceindex for residential investment acceler-

ated to 5.2% from 3% as strong demandfrom single- and multifamily builderspushed up prices for homebuilding ma-terials. The price index for governmentinvestment rose at a 2.3% rate, up from1.7%. A quarterly survey of 58 corporate

economists that the National Associa-tion for Business Economics released on April 22 found “business activity advanced at its strongest pace in a yearduring the first quarter of 2013. Expec-tations for capital spending on structures(among 38 respondents to this question)also strengthened compared to threemonths earlier, with more panelists ex-pecting their firms to increase spending(26% vs. 19% in January) and fewer expecting their firms to cut spending(8% vs. 12% in January).” Housing starts in March jumped 7%

at a seasonally adjusted annual rate fromthe February level and 47% from a yearago, the Census Bureau reported onApril 16. Housing start statistics are important

to the water well industry as they can indicate possible construction of newwater well systems. Multifamily starts (five units or

more) soared 27% for the month and82% year-over-year, while single-familystarts slid 4.8% for the month butclimbed 29% from the March 2012level. Building permits, an indicator ofnear-term future starts, fell 3.9% for themonth but rose 17% year-over-year. Permits for 5+ unit multifamily startsslumped 8.1% in March and inched up0.7% from a year ago. Single-familypermits dipped 0.5% in March butleaped 28% over 12 months.

ronmental Protection Agency submittedthe notice after years of fruitless effortsto get the state to document its spendingunder the program,” said Jared Blumen-feld, who is regional administrator forthe agency.The program is administered on be-

half of the EPA by the California De-partment of Public Health, using fundsallocated by the U.S. Congress. Typi-cally the money is used by cities, coun-ties, and other local agencies to improvedrinking water treatment systems, usually to remove harmful chemicals orseek a cleaner supply. “We certainly hear from communities

that they need the money and they arenot being able to access it,” Blumenfeldsays. “The facts speak for themselves.The money is not going out the door asquickly as it should be.”Blumenfeld says the problem is not

unique to California, but the scope ofthe problem is far larger in Californiathan elsewhere. As an example, he notedthe second largest similar problem existsin Texas, which sits on $310 million infunds.”

Geothermal Energy Expected toMore Than Double by 2030Bloomberg New Energy Finance re-

ports geothermal energy capacity willmore than double by 2030 as developingeconomies including Chile, Indonesia,and Kenya take advantage of natural resources. Global capacity is estimated to reach

28.3 gigawatts in 62 markets in 2030,compared with 11.4 gigawatts in 25markets last year, said Mark Taylor, aNew Energy Finance analyst, on April12 at the U.S. and International Geo-thermal Energy Finance Forum in New York. “Geothermal is being seen as a

development tool now, not just a nichemarket,” Taylor said. “It can be used asa driver of economic growth.” The story reports capacity in Indone-

sia, Southeast Asia’s fastest-growingeconomy, is estimated to more thantriple to 5.6 gigawatts and account for20% of output, becoming the world’slargest market. It ranked third in 2012 at 1.3 gigawatts. The U.S. was the largest market in

New Report Shows Minnesota’sBig Increase in Groundwater PumpingA new Freshwater Society Report

in Minnesota estimates total reportedgroundwater pumping increased byabout 2.8 billion gallons per year from1988 through 2011, according to theEcho Press in Alexandria, Minnesota,which adds up to a 31% increase overthat period. By comparison, the article said the

state’s population increased 24% in thesame period.Agricultural irrigation, the second-

biggest use of groundwater and thefastest-growing use by far, increased an estimated 73% during those years.Pumping by city water systems, thebiggest single use, increased an esti-mated 33%. Pumping by industries that rely on their own wells, rather thanpublic water supplies, declined.

Construction Unemployment in April Dropped to Lowest Markin Five Years The unemployment rate for construc-

tion workers fell to the lowest Aprillevel in five years as contractors addedmore than 150,000 employees in thepast year despite an April dip in em-ployment, according to an analysis ofnew government data by the AssociatedGeneral Contractors of America. Asso-ciation officials note that, despite themonthly drop, the industry is likely tocontinue adding jobs for much of 2013. Seasonally adjusted construction em-

ployment of 5.79 million in April was6000 less than in March but 154,000, or 2.7%, higher than in April 2012. Residential building and specialty tradecontractors added 13,300 workers in the month and 83,700 (4.1%) over 12months. Nonresidential building and specialty

trade contractors, along with heavy andcivil engineering construction firms, lost19,700 employees in April, but added70,100 (2%) over 12 months. Architec-tural and engineering services employ-ment climbed by 2700 in the month and23,400 (1.8%) from a year earlier.

Interior Department ReleasesProgress Report on NationalWater CensusU.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken

Salazar released a report April 3 to Con-gress on the progress of the NationalWater Census, which is being developedat the U.S. Geological Survey to helpthe nation address its critical waterneeds.NGWA, through member David

Kreamer, professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, was part of thegroup advising USGS on developmentof the water census. NGWA Director of Science and Technology Bill Alley,Ph.D., was one of the authors of the report. As competition for water grows—for

irrigation of crops, for use by cities andcommunities, for energy production,and for the environment—the need forthe National Water Census and relatedinformation and tools to aid water re-source managers also grows. The watercensus will assist water and resourcemanagers in understanding and quanti-fying water supply and demand, andwill support more sustainable manage-ment of water resources.The report released describes the

“water budget” approach being taken toassess water availability for the nation.Water budgets account for the inputs to,the outputs from, and changes in theamount of water in the various compo-nents of the water cycle. They are thehydrologic equivalent of the deposits to,withdrawals from, and changes in thebalance in a checking account and provide the hydrologic foundation foranalysis of water availability.USGS is initially focusing produc-

tion of the National Water Census onareas with significant competition for water availability and existing oremerging conflicts over water supply,such as the Delaware, Colorado, andApalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint RiverBasins. Increasing populations, morevolatile stream flows, energy develop-ment and municipal demands, and theuncertain effects of a changing climateamplify the need for an improved under-standing of water use and water avail-ability in these crucial watersheds.The water census (like the national

population census) is an ongoing effortthat will provide information for currentand future decision makers. USGS willcontinually be updating it, adding to it,and improving the accuracy of the vari-ous water budget components.The report, Progress Toward Estab-

lishing a National Assessment of WaterAvailability and Use, is available athttp://pubs.usgs.gov/circular/1384.

Sonic Drilling Finds 80 Million-Year-Old Fern Leaf

Drillers from Vancouver-based SonicDrilling Ltd. were amazed to discover afossilized fern leaf in a recent core sam-ple taken on a project in Tumbler Ridge,British Columbia. The company hadbeen contracted to drill to 160 feet, provide core samples, and assist withsoil penetration testing every 5 feet. “The drillers just arbitrarily picked

up a piece of the core sample and foundthe leaf inside,” says Bill Fitzgerald,general manager of Sonic Drilling. “It was pretty exciting to see somethingthat old.” The engineer on site estimated the

leaf to be about 80 million years old. Itwas cored at 160 feet below the surfaceand imbedded in coal. Sonic drill rigsare often used on projects like this dueto their ability to provide undisturbed,continuous core samples to 300 feet andbeyond.

Your tires are the only thingbetween your vehicle and theroad, yet regular tire mainte-nance is often neglected.

“It’s not uncommon, especially inthis economy, to cut corners on tiremaintenance. Many companies onlycheck their tires annually,” says Roger E. Renner, MGWC, president ofE.H. Renner and Sons Inc. in Elk River,Minnesota. “Even worse—for some, tiremaintenance means are the tires black?Yes. Are they round? Yes. That’s it.”

Tire selection, care, and maintenanceare the key to preventing costly acci-dents and keeping you safe on the road.

Basic tire maintenanceRegularly inspecting your tires is a

simple way to prevent tire failures. “We have drivers do a daily inspec-

tion,” says Joe Neri, president of AllstarDrilling and Probing LLC in Morgan-ville, New Jersey. “It only takes aminute to walk around and inspect yourtruck on a regular basis.”

Inspections include a visual inspec-tion of the tires and also a tire pressurecheck.

Visual inspectionBergerson Caswell Inc. in Maple

Plains, Minnesota, is another companythat inspects tires daily before leavingfor the job site.

“We have our guys check the lugnuts each day for signs of looseness,”says Dave Eisinger, equipment managerfor Bergerson Caswell. “We also checkfor cracked rims. Loose lug nuts andcracked rims could cause the wheel tocome off the truck.”

Also check the tires for scuffs, cuts,cracks, or other damage to the sidewallof the tire. After all, a small cut in afully inflated tire becomes a large cut in an under-inflated tire.

Damage to the sidewall typically oc-curs when a tire encounters a roadwayhazard like a curb, a bolt, or a piece ofmetal. Sharp rocks and broken tree rootsare off-road hazards that can also causedamage.

“We’ve had guys drive back from thejob site with a rock pushed up between

the duals,” Eisinger says. “It doesn’ttake too long with a rock jammed upthere to cause damage to the sidewall tothe point the tire can’t be reused.”

That’s why Eisinger also insists hisemployees thoroughly inspect betweenthe duals where debris from the job sitecan get trapped.

Eisinger also checks between the tiretreads for cracks and signs of degrada-tion at least once a week. Cuts in thetreads are rarely obvious, he says, andare an indication the tire needs replaced.

Tire inflationAccording to the National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration, under-inflated tires are a leading cause of tirefailure. In a 2012 study, NHTSA foundthat vehicles with under-inflated tires arethree times more likely to be involved ina crash related to tire problems.

Under-inflated tires are more proneto blowouts, which could cause costly—and deadly—accidents. A tire that’s notproperly inflated generates heat thatleads to sidewall failure.

The general recommendation for pas-senger cars is monthly, but the air pres-sure in your company’s trucks should bechecked more frequently. Eisinger sayshe checks the tires on all of the trucksweekly at the minimum. Jim Wright,compliance manager for National

Jennifer Strawn was the associate editor ofWater Well Journal from 2004to 2007. She is currently in the internal communicationsdepartment at Nationwide Insurance in Columbus, Ohio.She can be reached at [email protected].

“Loose lug nuts and crackedrims could cause the wheel

to come off the truck.”

(COVER STORY)

Where the Rubber Meets the Road

Proper tire care and maintenance keeps your rig on the road and your drivers safe.

By Jennifer Strawn

Exploration, Wells and Pumps in Shawnee, Kansas, highlyrecommends doing daily checks.

Tires can naturally lose up to one pound per square inch ofpressure each month, especially in cold weather. For every10°F change, 1 psi could be lost or gained in inflation, and tirepressure can change up to 10 psi during a trip as the tireswarm up.

That’s why Wright says you should check the air pressuredaily, and as a part of load inspection if you’re hauling haz-ardous materials. Check the tires when they’re cold beforeyou start out for the day and check them again after you’vebeen on the road for a while, such as when you stop for lunch.

If your vehicle is parked outside, be aware that the tires onthe sunny side may read a few pounds higher than the tiresthat are shaded. This is particularly the case with dual tires.The inside tire will often read a few pounds less than the out-side tire.

Never deflate the “sunny side” tires to match the tires inthe shade. They will equalize as you drive the vehicle.

You should also always check the tires with a gauge. Youcan’t always tell if pressure is low just by looking at the tire,and by the time the tire looks low it could be under-inflated byas much as 50%.

Tires should be inflated to the vehicle’s recommendedpressure found in the owner’s manual, on a printed label in-side the frame of the driver’s side door, or in the glove box.

Checking the air pressure on your tires regularly doesn’tjust ensure the tire is at the correct pressure, it also gives youan indication as to whether the tire needs repaired or replaced.

“It gives you a history of the tire,” Eisinger says. “It willtell you if you have a tire that is continually losing pressure.That would probably mean there’s a leak somewhere.”

There’s a bonus to keeping your tires inflated. Tires thatare under-inflated can cost you as much as 3.3% more in fuelcosts than a properly inflated tire.

Tire alignment, balancing, and rotationAs a part of caring for your tires, you should make sure

they’re aligned properly, rebalanced annually, and rotated

every 6000 to 8000 miles, Wright says. Caring for your tirescorrectly can extend the life of the tire.

Renner warns that, unlike passenger cars, tires on pumptrucks and rigs should never be rotated from front to back be-cause the tires on the steering axle are different than rear tires.

Dual tires can be rotated, though. Eisinger swaps the innertires with the outer tires to give the tires more even wear.

“For some reason the inside tire wears faster than the out-side tire, so rotating them can reduce tread wear,” he says.

When to replace your tiresIf you can see the tread wear indicator, it’s time to replace

the tire. All tires have these tread indicators molded into thetire at a specific depth.

While people for years stuck pennies in the treads of theircar treads to check wear, vehicles that require a commercialdriver’s license are set to a higher standard. Depth checkersand gauges are required for any operation to assure tires are at an appropriate depth. Front tires should have at least 4/32-inch tread and the rear should have at least 2/32-inch tread.

Tires on pump and drill rigs may need replaced long beforethe tread wears low. These trucks often have less mileage, but warm temperatures and off-road conditions can degradethe tires. Renner says heat and age can cause checkering orcracking.

Eisinger says they replace the tires on their heavier trucksat least every eight years as recommended by the company’stire dealer.

Wright recommends the tires on the steering axle should bereplaced every five years, or every three years if you live in awarm climate or if you do a lot of off-road work.

The Department of Transportation will place your rig outof service if any of the tires have:● Noticeable flats or leaks

● An exposed body ply or belt through the tread or sidewallor a cut where the body ply or belt is exposed

● Any tread or sidewall separation● Less than 2/32 of an inch when measured on a major tread

groove.Additionally, your rig could be placed out of service if a

tire is labeled “not for highway use,” if the tires exceed theload limit, or if any part of the tire comes in contact with anypart of the vehicle, including its tire mate on duals.

For the steering axles, the same rules apply, plus your rigcould be placed out of service if the tires have:● Less than 4/32 of an inch when measured on a major tread

groove ● A tube-type radial tire without radial tube stem markings● Bias and radial tires mixed on the same axle● A tire flap that protrudes through the valve slot in the rim

and touches the stem● Regrooved tires● A boot, blowout patch, or other ply repair.

If a tire needs to be repaired, always send it away to have aqualified professional work on it.

“If a tire went flat from driving, we won’t inflate it in ourshop,” Eisinger says. “We’ll send it right out to the tire shopbecause the tires today are built so well you can’t see if there’sbeen any damage to it. It may have interior sidewall damagethat you can’t see.”

Tire selectionFollow the equipment manufacturer and tire dealer’s rec-

ommendations when selecting new tires.“We work closely with a tire professional who understands

what we do, how much we carry, and how our trucks areloaded,” Neri says.

The load the truck carries is important because overloadingtires creates damage to the tread and the sidewall.

“The truck manufacturer provides recommendations fortire selection, but it probably didn’t know you were going toadd compressors, welders, fuel tanks, winches, and masts,”Wright says. “That’s where a tire dealer can help you deter-mine the right fit.”

It’s important to know what tires you have on your trucksin case you’re stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire.

“You may be hundreds of miles from the shop and need tocall the tow truck,” Renner says. “You’ll want to make surethe new tire matches the old tire exactly. The left tire shouldalways match the right tire in manufacturer type and in everyway possible.”

What to do when your tire blows outProper tire maintenance can help you prevent a blowout,

but it’s important to know what to do if your tire has one. “Tire blowouts happen so darn fast,” Renner says. “If

you’re driving an 80,000-pound drill rig with a carousel ofdrill rods on it, you’re doing everything you can to keep therig on your side of the road and prevent it from rolling over.”

When your tire blows out, the first instinct is to slam on thebrakes, but that’s the wrong strategy.

“During a front tire blowout, significant downforce isplaced on the front of the vehicle. This causes the vehicle topull hard in the direction of the blown tire,” Wright says.“Lifting up on the accelerator will put additional downforceforward. If you immediately brake, that too will put force for-ward and probably cause a loss of control.”

By slightly accelerating for a few seconds, the force istaken off the front of the vehicle, making it a bit easier to con-trol, Wright adds. After a very brief acceleration and the vehi-cle is under control, the driver should slow down with veryslight braking, pull off the road, and secure the vehicle.

According to the NHTSA, only about 5% of crashes aredue to tire-related incidents, but for water well contractors,tire-related accidents have costly—and very often deadly—consequences.

So, although it’s tempting to cut corners on tire mainte-nance, it’s worth a little extra time and money to keep every-one on the roadways just a little safer.

Neglecting your tires could put your company at risk, yourrig at risk, and your employees at risk by leading to blowoutsthat could total your rig and injure the rig’s driver or otherdrivers on the road.

“Front tire blowouts are a killer,” Renner says. “If the rigdoesn’t veer into oncoming traffic and kill someone, it willkill the driver when the rig rolls over.

“Saving lives and the future of your company could be assimple as inspecting your tires before you leave the shop inthe morning.” WWJ

It’s mid-March, and Kelly Clark ischecking e-mail with an eye on theweather radar. Four inches of rain is expected

to the south and west of where he livesand works in Lago Vista, Texas. His of-fice is on the north shore of Lake Travis,20 miles northwest of Austin.The ongoing drought has taken its

toll on Lake Travis and others in thechain of lakes known as the Texas High-land Lakes. Lake Travis was 50 feet lowin March, one of its lowest points inyears. “We’re waiting on the lake to come

back up,” says an upbeat Kelly, ownerof KC Water Filtration & Purification, a pump and filtration company that hecreated in 1999. Kelly’s wife, Cristy, faithfully works

alongside him.

“Hopefully the drought doesn’t scareoff a lot of people,” she says before rea-soning, “we can always install storagetanks if necessary.” KC Water Filtration & Purification

isn’t your typical pump and filtrationbusiness. Kelly and Cristy are both cer-tified divers and install lake water re-trieval pump and filtration systems forresidential and commercial customerswithin a 200-mile radius. Business issplit between residential and irrigation. “Being outside is the best,” Cristy

says, “and seeing the end result, whetherwe’re doing a pump on a new build orwater feature.”No one else in the area offers the

services KC Water Filtration & Purifica-tion provide. Kelly estimates he divesfour to six hours a week and says nearly80% of business stems from customerreferrals. They install pumps from ground-

water industry name brands FranklinElectric Co. Inc. and Grundfos, whichthey receive from their local distributor,Preferred Pump & Equipment LP. “Having Preferred Pump local is a

plus because we have access to productsimmediately,” says Kelly, who began

working in the water filtration businessin 1987. “We also use local distributorsfor our water softeners and relatedequipment from Charger Water andAlamo Water.” Working underwater presents unique

challenges, namely “the phone doesn’twork down there,” Kelly says. He re-turns from a dive to six to eight missedcalls, voicemails, and text messages. In talking with Kelly, he received threetexts just within the last 20 minutes.He prides himself on returning every

customer call, even if he’s on vacation.His cellphone battery gets a mean work-out.

“I worked hard for 10 years to get the phone to ring,” he says in his mildsouthern twang before musing, “now Isometimes wish it would stop, but justtemporarily, not completely.”

Kelly became a certified diver at ayoung age. His father was a dive instructor and

search and rescue diver for the DallasFire Department. Rule of thumb whendiving: You never dive alone, so as theonly son, Kelly got certified whether hewanted to or not. He took a strong liking to it while

accompanying his father on all sorts of diving trips, including ones to theCaribbean. Kelly passed his love fordiving on to his 15-year-old-son andnephew, both of whom are certified. Energetic beyond his years, Kelly

points to his grandfather who passedaway two years ago as a major influenceon his life. Kelly dreamed of playingprofessional soccer in the United Statesor Europe. It wasn’t in his future, but he still follows the game today andplays competitively for a team in San Antonio. “My grandfather said when the soc-

cer dream didn’t pan out, find a niche,”the 47-year-old says, “and when youfind it, run with it. That’s what we didwhen we found the diving and lakepump opportunity; it’s been good to us.”Like many things in life, this niche

opportunity was unexpected. Just before leaving his water filtra-

tion job in September 1999, Kelly wasasked by one of his customers if it waspossible to install a pump in the lake.The home builder was building a water-front house. “I said I don’t know, I’ve never done

it, but I’m a master diver and don’tknow why I couldn’t,” he recalls. Kelly researched and talked with dif-

ferent well drillers and discovered at thetime the stainless steel Grundfos pumpcould work; the majority of pumpstoday are stainless steel. Through trialand error he designed the system. The home owner’s neighbor then

called and asked for a pump to be in-stalled. The calls and business took offfrom there, leading to pump installationsin marinas on Lake Travis.

A multimillion-dollar subdivisionacross from the lake is owned by bil-lionaire Billy Joe “Red” McCombs.There is a water loop that runs througheach home’s property where the ownerties into it for irrigation. That loop is fedby a pump Kelly’s crew put in the lake,which provides 250 gpm at 60 psi. On the north shore of Lake Travis,

Carol and David Nelson have dependedon KC Water Filtration & Purificationfor at least 10 years. “While we understand that Kelly is a

busy guy, he has never failed to answera phone message and come to our aidwhenever we ask,” Carol says. “He andCristy provide a quality of service thatis not common these days and we willbe loyal customers for many years tocome.”

Part of Kelly’s business includestackling “crazy little jobs,” like lookingfor a women’s diamond wedding ringshe threw into Lake Austin or recover-ing a set of golf clubs in Lake Travis. The diamond ring, which undoubt-

edly was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, was never found. The golfclubs, which were knocked over by aboat on the walkway, were recovered. Amidst it all Kelly enjoys running

into customers in public. “When you’re out and you see peo-

ple and they’re like, ‘Hey, this is ourwater guy, this is the guy who does ourpump work’ instead of ‘Oh, there’s thepump guy,’” he says. “We have a goodrelationship with 95 percent of our customers.“My daughter is 11 and she always

Kelly and his crew head out for a dive under the hot Texas sun.

All in a day’s work, Kelly tends to a constant pressure controller.

says, ‘Dad, we can’t go anywhere whereyou don’t know someone.’”

� � �

Kelly is the type who has never met astranger, never sits still for too long. Thefast-paced work and life environmentmatches his tendency to talk and thinkfast. Providing a neat, clean, and safe

work environment drives him. In hersoft-spoken tone, Cristy jokes that he’sborderline obsessive compulsive aboutthe way he works, both in the office and at the job site. The man can’t standclutter. “Just in installing the filtration part

alone, the leveling of the pipe, noplumber glue running down the pipe, notrash,” she says. “You look at it and thecustomer is like, ‘Wow, I can’t believeyou just did that!’” Safety is first priority on job sites.

The terrain is unforgiving, especiallywith the lake levels dropping. “I alwayscomment that Kelly and the guys arepart mountain goat to work on the lakewalls as steep as they are,” says Cristy,45. Kelly wears a light and knife on each

dive. Lots of lost fishing and trot linesand rope are in the lake. He also has to watch out for water moccasins. His crew includes his wife, nephew, and two employees. “We get the occasional scrapes, poi-

son ivy, or sunburn, but we watch outfor each other and are prepared to makechanges in a job if safety of the crew iscompromised,” he says, stressing theimportance of hydration. “We have beendoing this for so long now that we knowwhat the other one is doing, what thenext step is, and have everyone’s back.”Earlier this year he was excited to

learn KC Water Filtration & Purificationwas one of the first companies in thearea to install a Cerus Industrial Inc.variable frequency drive since Franklin

Electric acquired the company last summer. Not only does Kelly sell and install

water treatment systems, he does con-tract installations for other water condi-tioner distributors in the region. “He’s really customer-oriented and

does good work and is a good guy,” saysCarl Ward, outside sales representativefor Preferred Pump & Equipment. “He’s willing to do anything in the worldthat he can to make it right with the customer.”Between gymnastics and soccer,

Kelly and Cristy stay busy taking careof their four children. Their plan is toone day sell the business or have theirnephew run it. They dream of moving to South America, possibly Quenta-Sol,Brazil. Kelly and Cristy’s love for diving is

only matched by their love for fishing.But Kelly is open to the possibility ofworking again once they’re in SouthAmerica. “I don’t think we can make a living

fishing,” Kelly offers with a lightchuckle, “we may have to do some-thing.” WWJ

“Kelly and Cristy provide aquality of service that is notcommon these days and wewill be loyal customers for

many years to come.”

Let’s talk safety. We’ve heard thosewords many times in the drillingindustry—and rightfully so.

Like it or not, we’re in a tough and potentially dangerous business.

But let’s talk about safety from aslightly different perspective. Let’s talksafety from the aspect of what we cando to make the workplace safe as com-pared to just following regulations. Arewe doing everything we can to make thework site safer?

We are all thankful that safety hasbecome a major part of the drilling industry. Walk into any drilling company shop and you’ll see the word“SAFETY” everywhere. A short timeago this wasn’t the case and many oldways of doing things are no longer ac-ceptable today. Additional regulationshave been put into effect to correct andamend some procedures from the past.

I think most would agree that safetytraining is a must, as is following properprocedures. We are all obligated to participate in the many important andmandatory training and refreshercourses that keep us eligible to work.They help raise our awareness levelabout safety. Like most training courses,

though, you take away from them whatyou put into them.

So let me restate the question. Whatcan we do that prepares us for tomorrow,knowing safety will remain the numberone issue in our industry? When weleave the classroom or tailgate healthand safety meeting, how do we keepsafety in the forefront of our activity?

We can’t allow ourselves to walkaway from those tailgate meetings, addour signature to a daily sign-in form,and say, “I’m glad that meeting’s over,now let’s get to work!”

Is there something we can do todaythat will make us safer and better pre-pared to work in our industry? I thinkthere is.

A Choreographed ProductionI’ve had the good fortune to visit

many project sites around the country.And I’ve observed a wide variety oftechniques, methods, and styles inwhich people work. You should take thetime to watch a seasoned crew work ona drill site. Trust me, they will get yourattention. Every step is calculated. Not amovement is wasted. It’s like watchinga well-choreographed production.

They are skilled and efficient opera-tors and crew members who don’t ap-pear to be rushed. They always seem incomplete control. It’s almost like they’recommunicating telepathically. If youfollow them from location to location,you will notice they tend to set up thesame way every time. It’s not a coinci-dence that these very productive crewsare also regarded as safer crews. Thatdidn’t happen overnight.

What makes them stand apart? Theway they are doing things is critical forour industry and we should take notice.They have a “work system” in place thatworks!

One part of their work system is hav-ing a specific tools layout in place basedon consistency, organization, and plan-ning—all with the goal of getting the jobdone safely. Seldom can you arrive at asuccessful project completion unless youhave such a work system in place. Thesewell-oiled operators and crew membersget your attention because they appear towork flawlessly. According to some con-sultants I’ve asked, these are the crewsthat are in demand because “they knowhow to work safely.”

A Safe Work SystemWhen I conduct training on a tooling

system for operators today, I can teachall the intricate details of that system. I can show how Part A fits onto Part B,and so on and so forth. I can put tools in the ground and demonstrate how tomake adjustments to that tooling system

Let’s Talk SafetyWith a safe work system in place, your crew has the opportunity to work safely every day.

Set up a work system you and your work crew

will be familiar with. This alonemakes your project site safer.

when advancing through the different subsurface conditions.But the most important thing I need to communicate is howcritical it is to set up a safe work system!

I share how I set up a work site that I’ve developed overthe years. And I invite them, if they want, to adopt it. Auger-ing requires a different tooling layout than dual tube work.Soil sampling requires a different tooling layout than rock coring. I encourage operators to set up something that they arecomfortable with.

Individual work layouts don’t have to be complicated. Startwith something simple, such as placing your drop rack oftools or sawhorses in the same proximity to the machine eachtime you set up your work space. Simply from day-to-dayusage, a tooling system will almost by itself create a set-upprocedure. Continue to follow it each time. It’s critical to develop some form of a repeatable work layout.

Our job sites and work environment will always be chang-ing. It’s the nature of our business. So to gain control of this,set up a work system you and your work crew will be familiarwith. This alone makes your project site safer for everyone.

Now that a work system is in place, you and your crewmembers have the opportunity to discuss and make improve-ments as you work together. You will be amazed at all thesmall adjustments you will quickly make, and how your workplan will systematically eliminate potential hazards.

What is it they say? “The road to progress is always underconstruction.”

This process is the critical, conscious activity of refiningsafety on the site. With a work system in place every day youwork, you have the opportunity to make tomorrow safer.WWJ Circle card no. 38

With the winter monthslong behind us and thewarming sun calling usoutside, it is easy to

forget every season has its own host of dangers and exposures we must be aware of. We put away our thermal coveralls,

hats, and gloves months ago. But nowwe need to prepare ourselves for suchsummer pleasures as insects, reptiles,rodents, sunburn, heat illness, and theflying shrapnel from someone’s lawn-mower. Let’s take this opportunity to talk

about one of the smaller, but more irri-tating of these issues—the insects. Insects are vital to our ecological

health and are responsible for every-thing from digestion of waste materialand removal of other pests to pollinatingour gardens and orchards. Obviously itis not possible to eliminate exposure toall insects (nor would it be wise), but we can take steps to lower our risk ofadverse interactions with them.

MosquitoesMany parts of the country experi-

enced a wet, yet only moderately coldwinter. These conditions provided a

continuous feasible habitat for mosquitolarvae through the winter months as theabsence of a long, deep freeze did notproduce the typical reduction in mos-quito larvae. In other words, we can anticipate a buggy summer. This does not simply indicate the

expected itching we’ve all experiencedfrom mosquito bites. It also predicts anincrease in the number of many mosquito-borne diseases. Last year, 5387 cases leading to 243

deaths from the West Nile virus wererecorded by the Centers for DiseaseControl. It is not unreasonable to antici-pate an even greater toll this year. While this might seem alarming,

consider that seasonal flu leads to tensof thousands of deaths every year. And,like the flu, serious reactions to WestNile virus tend to occur in people withpre-existing conditions or an immunedeficiency. This is not to say we shouldignore the threat of West Nile virus, butsimply keep it in perspective. Last year, emergency rooms were

burdened by many patients who wereafraid they contracted West Nile virusbecause they were bit by a mosquito.This diverted scarce resources from severely ill and injured patients in orderto address the concerns brought on byan exaggerated fear of infection.

Another impact of an exaggeratedfear of infection has been the wide-spread use of insecticides, which has altered the ecological balance of manyecosystems. This impact has the abilityto lead to many other environmentalconcerns and damage.Dengue fever is another disease that

is spread through mosquito bites and has been on the rise across the globe. To date, dengue fever has not developedinto an epidemic in the United States,but all 48 contiguous states have hadmultiple cases that were brought homefrom international travel. Prior to 1981, there was virtually no

dengue fever in any of the Americas.But between 1981 and 2003, much ofSouth America and all of Central Amer-ica were added to the number of coun-tries that were plagued with this disease.On a positive note, once contracted,

neither West Nile virus nor dengue feverhas been known to be transmitted fromperson to person. With current medicalcare facilities throughout the UnitedStates, its spread should be relativelycontained.While malaria is a mosquito trans-

mitted disease that has serious implica-tions, it is not known to be normallytransmitted anywhere in the UnitedStates. There are about 1500 casestreated annually in this country, and all are associated with travel to tropicaldestinations.

the sting of an angry yellow jacket andmany of us may have been unfortunate

Taking the Sting Out of Insect Exposure

Last year, 5387 cases leading to243 deaths from the West Nilevirus were recorded by the Centers for Disease Control.

enough to have disturbed an active nest,leading to hundreds of stings. The effectof these events varies wildly. Some people may simply experience

the discomfort of the sting followed bya bit of itching, while others may havesevere and rapid reactions leading up toand including death. It is important to know where you are

on this spectrum. If you are an individ-ual with allergic tendencies or knownallergic reaction to bees and wasps, youshould never be without a bee sting kit,including an EpiPen or other medicationprovided by your physician. Even withthis medication, you should take thegreatest precautions to avoid contactwith flying insects.

TicksMany years ago, the only disease

we associated with the tick was RockyMountain spotted fever. However, in recent years this concern has beeneclipsed by an enormous number ofcases of Lyme disease, Q fever, andbabesiosis. These diseases are foundthroughout the United States, and manyregions have seen significant increases. Reducing your probability of getting

one of these diseases is quite simple byconducting a thorough examination ofyour skin on a daily basis. Ticks that areattached to the body for less than 24hours have not had time to release thepathogen to affect a relatively healthyhuman being. However, spotting the tickcan be difficult since many, especiallythe deer tick, may be as small as thehead of a pin and are difficult to find.

Prevention and ProtectionThe best way to reduce your risk

from any of the adverse effects dis-cussed is to not get bitten. We can dothis by always wearing long pants and along sleeved shirt and a cap when walk-ing through wooded areas or spendingextended periods in grassy areas. Youshould also select light colored clothingso the dark insects are easy to identifyand remove by hand. Wash and dryclothes on a high setting to kill any lingering insects.The application of insect repellants

that contain 20% to 50% DEET is pru-dent when done according to the manu-facturer’s directions. Permethrin can beused on clothing, but not on skin. In

fact, once applied to clothing, perme-thrin can last through several washings.There are an unlimited number of

local homespun remedies that have beenadvertised for decades. While some peo-ple swear by them, others find no bene-fit at all. Treatments such as coveringyour body with olive oil, garlic or onionscent, banana oil, dryer sheets, mouth-wash, or any other local remedy is unlikely to do much harm—unless youfind yourself on a crowded bus.While there is no mandate to provide

insect repellants, sunscreens, or otherconsumer-based products to employees,

it is a wise investment to do so. Espe-cially consider this when you weigh thelow price to the possible large costs oflost days, sick leave, and lowered pro-ductivity from even a single infection.WWJ

While rapport is something wedo almost instinctively inmany areas of our lives, in

business it can be sadly lacking. The increased time pressure and

focus on results associated with selling a product or service can overtake ournatural ability to develop rapport.

Why should we care? Because buy-ing decisions are heavily influenced byemotions and rapport allows emotionsto develop in a trusted atmosphere. Rapport is even more important as thenumber of choices your customer hascontinues to increase. Without rapportyou are unlikely to convince a customerto open up about their needs, and evenunlikelier still to get the sale.

It’s critical in sales to be able to buildrapport quickly, but we typically don’thave the luxury of weeks or months toestablish a solid foundation for a rela-tionship—and if you’ve ever worked abooth at a trade show you know howtrue that statement is!

But all is not lost. It simply meanswe have to be more strategic about ourrapport-building efforts and not leavethis crucial step to chance.

The easiest way to build rapport withsomeone is simply to ask questions.Every decent salesperson knows this.Unfortunately, many sellers jump rightin asking the same tired, old questionseveryone else does, hoping something

eventually clicks with the prospect. The result? The prospect usually justclicks off.

As motivational speaker and self-help author Tony Robbins puts it, “Successful people ask better questions,and as a result, they get better answers.”

Better questions don’t happen by accident.

Rapport-Building Questions vs.Rapport-Killing Questions

Asking good, insightful questions requires some planning and research.Don’t shortchange this step becausewhile questions are the quickest way to build rapport, they can also be thequickest way to kill it.

Ask a personal question too soon,and you’ll put off the less-forthcomingprospect. But beat around the bush, andyou’ll try the patience of a busy one.

You have to earn the right to ask aquestion that may be perceived as per-sonal. Therefore, it’s critical you go inprepared with a questioning plan and afew opening questions that give yourprospect confidence in your integrity,value, and trustworthiness.

Here are some guidelines for askingquestions that will lead to thoughtful answers, move the sale forward, andhelp you more quickly establish rapportwith your customers.

1. Don’t Ask Questions WhenYou Should Already Know the Answers Try to avoid asking general questions

that require your prospect to explaintheir home, business, or industry toyou—when you could easily researchthat information in advance. Put theshoe on the other foot and imagine for a moment having to answer the sameroutine questions every time you inter-acted with a salesperson. No wondercustomers grow impatient!

2. Ask Clarifying QuestionsClarifying questions are those which

clearly demonstrate you know some-thing about your customer, while help-ing you gain more insight into thechallenges they may be facing. Theseare questions developed from knowl-edge you have already acquired, eitherthrough research or reference, and theyhelp you tailor your line of questioningas well as show you have taken the timeto learn a little bit about your prospectand their situation.

For example, “I see that you’ve beenin your home now almost seven years.Have you ever had your well tested inthat time?”

3. Ask Open-Ended QuestionsQuestions that start with words such

as who, where, what, when, how, andwhy require someone to answer withmore than a simple “yes” or “no” andcan provide you with more helpful in-formation and move the conversationforward. It takes some planning to comeup with these types of questions. So you

Thoughtful questions can help establish a rapport with a potential customer.

“Successful people ask betterquestions, and as a result,they get better answers.”

need to set aside some time to do just that. It will more thanpay off.

For example, “What did you like about working with yourlast supplier?”

4. Ask Hypothetical QuestionsQuestions that begin with “What if . . . ” or “Suppose that

. . . ” allow you to test the water, so to speak, with ideas theprospect may otherwise feel uncomfortable answering. Again,these types of questions take some planning ahead of time.

For example, “Suppose that I could show you how easy itis to have safer and better tasting water?”

5. Rephrase Their Answer into a QuestionQuestions that reflect back to the prospect’s answers not

only validate their opinion and acknowledge you heard them,they will also quickly indicate whether you understood themcorrectly and give them a chance to clarify. This can be an effective use of questions, but be careful not to overuse it as it can seem “technique-y.” Save it for important points orwhen you’d really like them to expand on a particular issue.

For example, “What I hear you saying is you are concernedabout the potential maintenance costs. Is that correct?”

Asking good, thoughtful questions and really listening tothe answers given will help you establish an authentic rapportas well as target the appropriate solution for each customer.Take the time to plan, practice, and use these rapport-buildingquestions with a new prospect or to build a stronger relation-ship with your existing customers.

Since the 1990s when the “the serv-ice profit chain” and the “balancedscorecard” were introduced and

became common business tools, wehave had 30 years to see businessesadapt to the changing needs and wantsof their customers. Sadly this has not been as common in

the industrial distribution world, nor hasit been a particularly successful attempt.There have been books by the hun-

dreds written about customer service,yet we seem to be going the wrong way.Recently I saw a study that said, “Cus-tomer service in America is so bad itsucks; it has gotten to the point that customers have stopped complaining.” Yet we have definitive statistics—not

just intuition—that proves that customerservice pays. Harvard University con-ducted a massive study on business in the 1990s and found that if you in-creased your customer retention by 5%you would increase your profitability by45%. So what gives?I believe it might be as simple as this.

It’s not the leadership that has to exe-cute and deliver customer service, butit’s the front-line employees. You know them, right? They are the

people who have been working harder

than ever before. Due in part to thelousy job market, they are in some casesoverworked because you haven’t hiredadditional staff. And the workers in the market today

are not feeling good. They are nervous,stressed, and some are even afraid fortheir jobs.Scared people don’t perform well,

and the world in which we live is a dis-tressed one. We have strong politicaland philosophical differences on strate-gies. We have a huge intellectual argu-ment going on between two competingapproaches to economics (Keynes vs.Hayek). We have the turmoil in Europethat started with Iceland more than 10years ago. And I could go on. The world contributes to the stress

of everyone. So how is it we expect the employees to provide outstandingcustomer service? Management is a privilege and a

huge responsibility. The responsibility isto make sure our employees are safe andsecure in their work. We also must oper-ate effectively and efficiently, providesufficient capital to see to it we have allthe tools, and continue to train our em-ployees so they are equipped to providethe customer service that our customersexpect.

MBNA, a credit card company thatwas purchased by Bank of America inthe 1990s, had one common theme:“Think of yourself as a customer.” Theyhad this on carpets in every hallway andhad it over doors and entrances. It waseverywhere.Think about the credit card business.

MBNA had thousands of customers andhundreds of competitors. And they madesmall amounts of money on transac-tions, although they had hundreds ofthousands of transactions. So their ques-tion was similar to yours. How do youstick out and make a name for yourself? In my opinion, it is strictly through

customer service. MBNA became sosuccessful at customer service that they retained more than 98% of theircustomers! So how about you? What is your

customer retention? Do you know? Increasing customer retention is a

whole lot more difficult than writingabout it. You see, it comes down to your employees—the people I call“your heroes”—and how they treat your customers. To make this work, it helps if we

know what our customers need andwhat they like. Thankfully there areplenty of customer surveys that listthese needs and likes.

Customer NeedsThis is the hard side of the work.

These are the items of significance. Thecustomer might not choose to work withyou if one or more of these items are notpresent.

Customers Have Needs and Likes Just as We Do

We need to think of ourselves as a customer.

A study on business foundthat if you increased yourcustomer retention by 5%you would increase your

profitability by 45%.

• They need reinforcement that theyare getting a good deal.

• They need to feel they made the rightchoice.

• They don’t want to feel taken advan-tage of in the deal.

• They need you to show them respect.• They need your help.• They need to trust you.• They need to know they are getting

high quality.• They need you to be able to perform.• They need you to respond promptly.• They need you to have a sense of

urgency.I can’t say I see anything there that

surprises me. Do you? In fact, I thinkthey’re just the same as we are when webuy something.

So we need to do something. Let’s sitdown with the front-line personnel andreview this list and discuss it with them.Talk about specific customer examplesand get them to tell stories of when theywere able to delight customers.

This is a terrific forum for all par-ties—your employees and you will bet-ter understand each other and the job at hand. This is something I believe we should do regularly, perhaps evenweekly. It is like a toolbox safety meet-ing where you discuss issues of signifi-cance at the moment.

Customer LikesThen we come to the softer side of

the relationship. These are the things thecustomer notices and allows you tostand out.• They like things to be as easy as

possible.• They like a history of your reliability

and your reputation.• They like predictability.• They like you to be flexible and

responsive to their needs.• They like your help in reducing their

costs.• They like to know you can supply

everything they need—a one-stopshop.

• They like you to understand their situation and help them.

• They like you to go to bat for them.• They like you to know your products

and services.

• They don’t like mistakes.As with the list of needs, I am sure

you can understand each of these likes.Again, they are the same things you likeas a consumer. And this should be a sub-ject of discussion with your front-linepersonnel.

I believe everyone has to understandwhat it is we are trying to do before theycan accept that they should do some-thing. But I also believe once they understand and accept we should dosomething, they will then be committedto doing it.

It is only through your leadershipthat you can get people to do what theyknow intuitively they should do, andthat is to serve our customers. I also believe that you don’t manage people,you cannot make things happen. Youmanage process—you lead people.

I know you care about your cus-tomers and I know your employees dotoo. I think it is time to resensitizeeveryone to the needs and likes of ourcustomers. Don’t you?

The time is now. WWJ

Water Well Journal June 2013 39/

Summer is upon us once again.Here we go into another three tofour months of consistently long

working days, listening to those fewemployees who complain how over-worked and underpaid they are, and thatroutine service call you get each yearfrom the farmer who can’t seem to understand how to keep his pump running in hot weather.

Even with the added work andheadaches that accompany the busy sea-son, most of us in the water well indus-try agree we would not change placeswith anyone else.

As I continue to age—hasn’t anyonecome up with a cure for that yet?—andtime continues to take me further awayfrom the remembrances of the day-to-day life of an active “well and pumpguy,” I realize just how much those daysmeant, still mean, and how easy it is totake something in life for granted.

I often think I would be willing tojump at the opportunity to trade what-ever luxury I seem to think I possess forsloshing around in mud each day andhaving the satisfaction of finishing anew pump installation and being able tostep back and look at something I builtwith my hands and mind. Ah, that’swhat it’s really all about.

Never has this feeling taken com-mand over me as much as during a re-cent event I experienced while workingon a remote project site.

Heading to a Testing JobAlthough I am not nearly as involved

in the daily execution of well and pumpwork as I once was, the opportunity towork in the field still presents itself tomy firm and myself on occasion. A re-cent incident occurred when my son,Adam, and I traveled to eastern Oregonto conduct field testing and reconnais-sance on three wells for a small citywe’ll call “Wellville” experiencingproblems with excessive levels of arsenic.

As you know, the U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency in 2006 reducedthe allowable arsenic levels in drinkingwater from the former regulated stan-dard of 50 parts per billion down to 10parts per billion. And while this createdopportunities for many of us in thewater well industry, it also created hard-ships for various public water systemsthat had been providing water for yearswith arsenic levels between 10-50 ppband were previously exempt from need-ing treatment. In Oregon there are sev-eral water systems using wells that wereproducing water with arsenic levels in this range for many years, only to discover they were now in dire need of engineering assistance and watertreatment.

Conducting a field pumping test andwater quality analysis on water fromthree city wells in order to figure out theactual arsenic levels and the most effec-tive method of treatment was to be theinitial element of our engineering studywhen we left for our five-hour drive.

Upon arrival in Wellville, Adam andI began to set up our test gear, only todiscover we were lacking an importantcomponent, a 3-inch pipe coupling to

conduct the test. Since Wellville had no motels, plumbing shops, or even ahardware store, we decided to drive to“Pipetown,” a larger city 60 miles awayto spend the night and hopefully findour missing link.

When we arrived in Pipetown, wenoticed a True Value hardware store. Ithought the chances of finding a 3-inchsteel pipe coupling in such a remotetown was small, but we ventured in thestore anyway and my hunch was right. I asked the clerk if he knew any placethat could stock the part and his responsedirected us towards the local “well andpump shop.”

As many of you know, althoughmany rural small cities and towns don’thave a movie theater, shopping mall, orfive-star restaurant, you can often find alocal “well and pump guy.” This is par-ticularly true in areas where many of thelocal farmers and irrigators depend onaccess to rapid service and parts.

We left the hardware store and droveto the pump shop. Upon entering the ordinary looking building, we immedi-ately encountered a friendly gentlemanand his wife—a true Mom and Pop op-eration—as well as a large open roomfilled with submersible, turbine, and jet pumps and pump parts of every typeand description.

An Accumulation of Hard WorkParts were literally lying and hanging

everywhere. They were on the floor,hanging on the walls, and filling theshelves of too many parts racks to de-scribe. There was even an old partiallyassembled Franklin control box hangingout of the open door of their wall safe.

By Ed Butts, PE, CPI

A Messy ShopYou can often find lots and lots of inventory in small well and pump businesses.


Ed Butts, PE, CPI, is the chief engineer at4B Engineering & Consulting, Salem, Oregon.He has more than 35 years experience in thewater well business, specializing in engineer-ing and business management. He can bereached at [email protected].

I was totally in awe. The “mess” wasobviously the accumulation of years and years of hard work from numerousproductive service calls and not so productive installations.

In one sweep of the eyes you couldsee rolls of pump packing, sheet gasketmaterial, Square D and Furnas pressureswitches, irrigation gaskets, and controlboxes of every vintage and size—andthis was just in the front office! The realinventory was contained in the adjacentshop behind a closed door.

In an instant the memories from mycareer flashed before my eyes. Suddenlyimages of the shops of every place Iworked were in front of me.

After regaining my composure, I ex-plained my needs to the pump guy, con-vinced that the single part we neededhad to be in the mess somewhere. Thepump guy retreated to his shop, whileAdam and I continued to survey the impressive accumulation of many yearsof pump work.

He returned about 10 minutes laterwith the disappointing news he did nothave a 3-inch steel pipe coupling, buthad a 3-inch conduit coupling. Althougha conduit coupling does not possess thesame types of thread pattern as a waterpipe coupling, I felt for our purposes itwould work and we purchased the part.Although it leaked under high pressure,the coupling fulfilled our testing needsand we were soon after heading home,job complete.

Here’s to All Out ThereSo, what about this messy pump

shop? Have I left you with the impres-sion that I am insulting the local pumpguy? I sure hope not. You can citeOSHA rules and the need for a safe anduncluttered working environment and Iam for all of that. But this is the waterwell and pump business, after all. Frommy experience, messy shops are therule, not the exception, and especiallywith smaller firms.

Who among us has not brought thatweird, obsolete but still usable part off avintage Myers rod pump, one of thosegreen plastic impellers from an ancientMontgomery Ward jet pump, or a con-trol box from an old Reda submersiblepump back to the shop from a call,

convinced we will find a place to reuseit somewhere someday.

And even though some people wouldregard us as hoarders, we rarely usethose parts again somewhere someday.

This column is meant as a tribute—not an insult—to all of the well andpump guys out there. This is for thoseoperating a single drill rig or pumphoist, heeding the Sunday service callfrom the dairy farm on a freezing nightto keep water flowing to the cows.

As I stood and surveyed the inven-tory of that pump shop, it occurred tome there had to be a column in this

scene. I asked the wife if she and herhusband read Water Well Journal and I received a positive response. After Iexplained my intent, I was met withtheir surprised approval.

So Mom and Pop, congratulations!Here it is in print just as I promised.Please accept this tribute from me toyou in the spirit I intended. Your messyshop has given so much more than asimple inventory to be proud of.

Until next month, work safe andsmart. WWJ

As you might imagine, your bankwould like you to keep as big achunk of your cash with themas you’re willing to deposit.

And in order to convince you theirbank is the best place to keep yourmoney, most big banks and some of thesmaller regional banks have come upwith special programs to court cus-tomers who are willing to show theirloyalty. Some banks may have a different

name for their effort, but the most popu-lar name these days is “relationshipbanking.” Whatever your bank calls it, it will be to your advantage to be awareof what it involves.When it comes to banks, it’s all about

money. Convincing you to commit asmuch of your money as possible to theirsafekeeping is what a bank considers agood relationship—thus, “relationshipbanking.”

Royal TreatmentWhat it all means is if you’re willing

to commit a sizeable chunk of yourmoney to one bank, you can expect toreceive the kind of royal treatment notavailable to everyone who opens a mod-est savings or checking account. Most of the country’s largest banks

are offering attractive perks to cus-tomers who declare their loyalty bymaintaining thousands of dollars incombinations of checking, savings, andinvestment accounts.

Among those benefits are such thingsas lower banking fees, higher interestrates on deposits, lower interest rates onloans and credit card balances, and spe-cial attention when you need help fromcustomer service.Why all this romancing of privileged

customers? Simply, because a customerwho keeps lots of money in varioustypes of accounts in the same bank is aprofitable customer, while the customerwho opens only a modest checking orsavings account is likely to be a moneyloser instead of a money maker.Here is what a couple of major banks

offer to their relationship customers.In what it calls the PMA Package,

Wells Fargo offers higher interest rateson some deposit and CD accounts,lower interest rates on loans and creditlines, up to 100 commission-free tradesannually through a self-directed invest-ment account, and extra benefits forWells Fargo Visa credit card holders, including purchase protection coverage.To qualify for the PMA Package, a cus-tomer must have $25,000 in qualifyingdeposit accounts or $50,000 in qualify-ing deposit and brokerage accounts.(PMA stands for Portfolio ManagementAccount.)Another major player, Bank of Amer-

ica calls its program Platinum Privi-leges. To qualify, a customer must havean active personal checking accountplus $50,000 in combined deposit ac-counts and Merrill Edge brokerage ac-counts. Among the Platinum Privilegesare higher interest rates on money mar-ket accounts, CDs, and IRAs; home loandiscounts; lower rates on home equityloans; plus 30 commission-free onlinestock trades per month with a self-directed Merrill Edge account.Other major banks and many smaller

ones offer similar programs to what they

feel are their relationship customers. Inmost cases, you’ll need to keep at least$25,000 in a relationship account toqualify. Depending on the bank involved, you

may get a dedicated phone number forcustomer service help, and lower or nofees on such services as money orders,cashier’s checks, and wire transfers.Some banks offer breaks for relationshipcustomers who take out a mortgageloan, such as discounts off closing ac-counts or lower interest rates on a firstmortgage loan.

Shopping AroundOf course, not every banking cus-

tomer is in love with the idea of beingtied to one bank for all or most of theirbanking needs. With easy access to theInternet for shopping around for the bestdeals, some customers feel it makesmore sense to shop for the top yields ontheir savings rather than depending onone bank to treat them right. In truth, even the deals on relation-

ship packages offered by the biggestbanks often don’t measure up to the bestyields offered by many online banks, oreven by credit unions and smaller localbanks.For many people, the personal inter-

action of working with a local bank or credit union is more important thanobtaining the highest possible return on their deposit accounts. Credit unionsin particular are rapidly gaining newmembers as they relax their membershiprequirements while offering highly com-petitive rates on deposits and loans. Of course, what may be the best

deals are available to those willing todeal with an online bank vs. a more fa-miliar brick and mortar institution. Forexample, online Ally Bank offers a free

A Strong RelationshipKnow all of the benefits of relationship banking when you choose where to put your money.

checking account with no minimum balance, interest rates ashigh as 0.75% depending on the size of the account, and no-fee ATM transactions with reimbursements for other banks’ATM fees.Obviously, you have a wide range of choices when it

comes to deciding where to park your money. Some perks will be more important to you than others, so you will want to shop around for the deal best suited to your needs. As long as the bank you choose is a member of the Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), or in the case of creditunions the National Credit Union Administration, your moneywill be safe up to the maximum insured coverage. WWJ

More and more women areholding leadership posi-tions in associations andcompanies around the

world and making their marks in indus-tries traditionally led by men. And theNGWA affiliate state associations are no exception. Among the numerous women in

these positions are Katie Renner-Welle,president of the Minnesota Water WellAssociation; Twyla Moline, secretary ofthe California Groundwater Association;and Margaret Gresham, vice presidentof the Washington State Ground WaterAssociation.Three different women in three dif-

ferent state associations, but they sharemany common influences, obstacles,and aspirations.

Family Influences Family is a big influence across the

groundwater industry, with childrengrowing up around their family drillingbusiness and gaining an appreciationand passion for the industry from anearly age. Katie Renner-Welle is a fifth genera-

tion driller and four of the five genera-tions work at the family company, E.H.Renner & Sons Inc. in Elk River, Min-nesota. Her father, Ray, took her to workwith him so he could spend more timewith her, and she learned a great deal.Her great grandfather, grandfather, fa-ther, and uncle all served as president ofthe Minnesota Water Well Associationbefore her.“I grew up being a helper on the

service crew, backhoe crew, and some-

times the well rig,” Renner-Welle says. Renner-Welle plans on following in

her grandfather’s footsteps and servingon the board twice, but his example isnot the only thing that hasmotivated her. “My grandfather

pushed me into this busi-ness with his doubt onmy ability,” she says.Later, upon her collegegraduation and entranceinto the workforce, hergrandfather made sure she knew howproud he was of her. Her grandmother, Kitty Renner, was

also involved in the industry with herregular column in Water Well Journal,“Over the Coffee Cup.” The series ranin the 1960s and was written for thewomen of the industry and highlightedthe activities of the NWWA Auxiliary. Twyla Moline, of A & S Pump Serv-

ice in Clovis, California,was also influenced byher family. She grew upon a farm as the youngestof nine children withseven brothers. Her fatherowned a sawmill, whichwas operated by the fam-ily. She helped with all of the farmchores, such as raising chickens, milk-ing cows, and even with the logging atthe sawmill. She credits her father with her love

for the outdoors and working hard. Mo-line also used her strong work ethic toobtain an associate’s degree and a para-legal degree upon graduating from high

school. Her education—both inside andoutside the classroom—gave her theperfect background to be a leader in thegroundwater industry. “Be flexible and be available,” Mo-

line answers simply when asked howshe is able to juggle the tasks she faceseach day with staying hands-on in herown business, at the state level, andmaking time for a personal life. “Go for it. Work hard and remember

to take time to play hard as well,” sheadds. Margaret Gresham’s beginnings in

the industry differ, as shewas self-educated. Shedid not grow up aroundwater well drillers, butlater learned how to drivea service truck, be apump hoist helper, adriller’s helper, book-keeper, sales rep, geology researcher,and many other skills necessary in thebusiness. She was born and raised in the Bay

Area of California, but relocated toWashington after marrying her highschool sweetheart, whose family had experience in the construction industry. She and her husband started a small

well drilling business in the late 1970s,which later expanded into a successfulfamily-owned company, Gresham Pump& Drilling Inc. in Poulsbo, Washington.Their son, Chad, has recently taken overto make the company one that is multi-generational. Gresham became involved in her

state association after a fellow driller in-vited her along to a state show. She en-joyed the camaraderie she experiencedwith others in the business who wereworking towards the same educationalgoals for those in the industry and thepublic.

“I have noticed the more successful

women in life are the busier ones.”

“I was volunteered to help withclasses presented by our association,and this grew into education seminarsand convention planning,” she says.

Unique ChallengesAll three women have faced unique

challenges in their respective positions,but they have reaped the rewards thatcome with hard work and dedication.

Renner-Welle finds it rewarding to beable to participate in education days forkids and to be a voice for the industry inher state.

“We have fought pipelines, cities try-ing to restrict well drilling, and everyyear is another battle,” she says.

Gresham and her association havealso worked with their state politicians,and introduced a pump installer spe-cialty category as a bill, designed toidentify and protect the industry.

“Our trade is very specialized but yetwe are regulated heavily,” she says. Ittook several years for the bill to passthrough legislation and get approved,but it finally happened.

“At our Day on the Hill (where in-dustry professionals meet with state leg-islators) we have repeat attendees whohave bonded with their representativesand senators. A mutual friendship andrespect has grown over the years,” sheadds.

Moline says the most rewarding partfor her has been to meet members of theassociation and industry in her state andlearn from each of them. She enjoyspushing herself and her company to the limits and seeing what all they canaccomplish.

“While president on the local board, Iwas able to increase interest in our localmembers as well as the attendance andparticipation of members at the localmeeting,” she says

Staying Busy“I have noticed the more successful

women in life are the busier ones,” saysRenner-Welle. And with a baby on theway later this year, life won’t be slow-ing down anytime soon for her.

Moline and her company have beengrowing and completing bigger projectsto better themselves and the industry.But there is little time to rest, as plan-ning is well under way for the 29th

Biennial Groundwater Conference &GRA 22nd Annual Meeting in October.

October will also be a busy monthfor Gresham, as she looks forward totaking over as president of the Washing-

ton Ground Water Association. Gresham stays busy, but as she says:

“If you believe in the betterment of yourtrade, then you need to get involved.”WWJ

Solinst Offers High ResolutionGroundwater Profiling

The Solinst Model 660 Drive-PointProfiler is designed to be a minimal dis-turbance, preliminary site assessmenttool. It enables the collection of ground-water samples from multiple discretezones in a single drive/drilling location.This allows high-resolution sampling,contaminant vs. depth profiling, and de-tailed plume delineation. Contaminantsin the subsurface are quickly detected,which helps determine the placement oflong-term monitoring systems, such as aModel 403 CMT Multilevel System forfurther site characterization.

The Profiler has a 1.75-inch-diameterAW stainless steel tip with one row of

screened inlet holes set circumferen-tially. Inlet holes lead to a single stain-less steel fitting, where an LDPE orTeflon sample line connects and leads toa peristaltic pump at the surface. TheProfiler is flushed with deionized wateras it is advanced with a drill rig to elimi-nate clogging. A grout tip version isavailable for easy sealing of holes aftersampling is complete.
