Welcome to Wine Country Waterworks Association!
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
August 2008
I hope that you were among the big crowd who gathered on June 18, at the Annual Symposium and Trade Show at the Villa Chanticleer in Healdsburg. The turnout was our biggest in years
!! Thanks go to the hardworking Board members, and to Anna McAuliffe, Hillary French, and longtime volunteers such as Ann Hill, Tom Churchill, and Roger and Claire Simpson.The overall success of the event revealed areas where some improvements and changes are needed to keep this event a great resource for trainings and opportunities to gather information on products and services to improve your water system. The Wine Country Board has identified four priority areas we hope to improve for next year’s event. Those priorities are
: better classrooms, streamlining the registration/sign in process, better management of parking and speeding up the lunch line.Our annual tour this year will be at Water Pump Station S
-9 located at 2889 Summerfield Road. This pump station houses three 300 hp vertical turbine pumps. Unique architectural features help the pump station blend with neighborhood landscaping. Other unique features include custom concrete fencing, a custom acoustic sound enclosure over the generator to help limit sound propagation to neighboring areas, and an operator interface screen to determine flow rates, tank levels and pressures. We will meet at Howarth Park Gazebo Area at 4:15 p.m. and leave to travel to the pump station at 4:30 p.m.Lastly, a big welcome to our newest member of the Board, Jim Connell, an Engineer with West Yost and Associates in Santa Rosa.
We hope you will join us for the tour of Pump Station S-9 on September 11
th with an old fashioned BBQ at Howarth Park immediately following.Please fill out the enclosed Tour Registration Form and return it to the address listed at the bottom of the form.
Sincerely,
Bill Robertson
