Welcome to WATERCON �011 - Joint Conference and Exposition

John A. SmithChairISAWWA �010-�011

Dennis PriewePresidentIWEA �010-�011

Welcome to all attendees planning to attend WATERCON 2011 in Springfield, the joint conference of Illinois Section AWWA and our friends from IWEA.

I would like to extend my personal invitation to attend the conference next March. The conference is a great educational and social oppor-tunity to obtain up-to-date information on new technology and tech-niques, and problem solving ideas.

See what new products and services are available to make your job easier, safer, and more efficient. Earn RTC’s or PDH units and network with peers to discuss mutual concerns or situations. It’s also a great opportunity to socialize with friends and have a good time!

I’m looking forward to a great conference!

On behalf of the Illinois Water Environment Association, I want to in-vite you to attend WATERCON 2011, the joint ISAWWA-IWEA Confer-ence and Exhibition. This is the third joint conference and exhibition between ISAWWA and the IWEA and it looks to be bigger and better than the previous two.

The IWEA Executive Board, committees and its members are excited to be partnering with ISAWWA again to bring the highest level of techni-cal training and information to water professionals throughout the State of Illinois. In these tough economic times, it just makes sense that the two leading water and wastewater organizations in Illinois join forces to enhance and protect the Illinois water environment through education and col-laboration. I look forward to seeing you at WATERCON 2011.

Who Will AttendWATERCON is Illinois’ largest water conference covering potable water and wastewater issues with more than 100 technical presentations and poster presentations, exhibits, receptions and banquets. Attendees from many different disciplines will attend this conference.

● Academic Institutions ● Manufacturer’s Representatives● Consulting Engineering Firms ● Suppliers ● Environmental Organizations ● Water and Wastewater Plant Operators ● Manufacturers ● Water and Wastewater Regulatory Representatives

Operator Competitions: Top Ops, Tapping Contest and Meter Madness!

The TOP OPS challenge tests the everyday knowledge of water treatment plant operators as part of a team in a fun, fast paced Q&A tournament. The winner of the final round will represent the Illinois AWWA at the ACE Conference in Washington DC in June 2011. For additional information, entry forms or questions, please contact Larry Thomas at 815-459-1260 or e-mail: lthomas@baxwood.com

Tapping Contest is where water utility teams race to open a cement-lined, ductile iron pipe and install a tap. The winning team will then compete at the AWWA annual conference in June 2011 in Washington DC. For additional information, entry forms or questions on this contest, call 866-521-3595.

Meter Madness is a fast paced contest that puts competitors against the clock to assemble a water meter from a bucket of parts. The winner of this competition is eligible to compete at the national level Meter Madness contest during the AWWA annual confer-ence in in Washington DC in June 2011. Contact Craig McDonald at 815-877-1421 for more information

Visit the Waterworks Museum

By popular demand, we are proud to bring back the ISAWWA Wa-terworks Museum to the WATERCON event and will locate it on the second floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Tuesday, March 22nd.

What is on display? Very interesting water and wastewater artifacts from years past. You’ll be surprised to see items such as a wooden water main, old testing equipment or very old photos from board meet-ings, main breaks or construction projects. If it’s old, it’s most likely on display in the WaterWorks Museum. These and other interesting items will be displayed in a secure room for everyone’s viewing and appreciation.

How do I display my artifacts? Simply call Dennis Ross at 217-965-1566 and let him know what you have found possibly tucked away in a corner or closet of your treatment plant or lab. Just let Dennis know what you would like to display including its dimensions. He will assign you a space for your items.

As with any great museum, we need your help to make it a success. If you think you have something that is interesting, it most likely will be interesting to other water and wastewater professionals—so bring it in!

Volunteers are needed. Help staff the WaterWorks museum by volun-teering an hour or so of your time to help man the display area of the museum. This is a great place to give a little something back to the ISAWWA, spend some time in the museum and network with other conference attendees.

Museum Set-up Museum OpenTuesday, March 22 Tuesday, March 228:00 a.m.— 10:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m.— 5:00 p.m. For more information: Wednesday, March 23Dennis Ross 9:00 a.m.—3:00 pm.217-965-1566ross@otterlakewater.net
