Winer Meeting 2012

The annual winter meeting for CIPWO took place on January 25 at the Holiday Inn in Urbana. There were approximately 50 members in attendance which was a good turn out. Our Vice-President Wade Lagle opened the meeting with the discussion of new business of which I believe there was none.

The meeting began with a short Business Meeting in which we thanked our out-going Coordinator Don Jordan, and welcomed Rick Ellington our new VP.

Following the Business Meeting was a presentation by Lawrence Quick, Superintendent of the Robinson Wastewater Treatment Facility. Lawrence talked about the new Orbal treatment system that was constructed at his facility as well as other upgrades including Parkson Aquaguard fine screens. If you would like more information about the plant or would like to contact the facility use the following link to their website: http://cityofrobinson.com/wastewater-treatment/

The next speaker was Rick Ellington from the City of Martinsville, Rick spoke about the agreement that ERTC has made with Lincoln Trail College to host a short school for the Class C and D water treatment exams as well as for Class 3 and 4 Wastewater exams. Lawrence Quick stood up to give the specific details as the original speaker could not attend but passed along the information to him. There is talk of short school classes being held for the Class A and B water and Class 1 and 2 Wastewater examinations as well in the future.

Following the second speaker, we all convened in the atrium for a very tasty lunch. Afterward, we returned to the vendor gallery and had time to meet and discuss any questions or concerns about their products and services. The rest of the meeting consisted of a drawing for the door prizes that were so generously donated by the vendors.

The organization and its members would like to thank all of the vendors that were present including: PDC, Prairie Analytical, Donohue & Associates, Stewart Spreading, Vandevanter Engineering, WACO, Metropolitan Industries, Peterson and Matz, Teklab, and others. We would also like to thank the speakers and officers for their time and support of CIPWO.
