SUMMARY:Enter into Evansville’s Eager Endeavors!
DESCRIPTION:Facilities Tour from the Young Professionals Committee\nCome one\, come all! See the progress EWSU has made on completing our new 40 MGD wastewater effluent pump station on the East side of our trademark horseshoe river bend aptly named Sunrise Pump Station. After the pump station we will head a few blocks due East to EWSU’s East WWTP. Feast your eyes on the new Biological Aerated Filter process from Veolia\, the second in Indiana and under EWSU. Other improvements include a state-of-the-art Trojan UV system\, a solids handling conditioning tank\, a new grit removal process\, and a fancy enhanced biological nutrient removal pilot! (This is a construction site so please prepare with hardhat and high-vis\, if you do not we will provide for you). Lastly\, we would be glad to exhibit our historical late-1800s era water filtration plant\, just up the hill from our WWTP. This will provide an opportunity to see our existing facility and the design for the new water plant that is slated to begin construction in 2027! The event will make 3.5 PDHs and 2 CEU contact hours available to all attendees.  \n  \nWho should attend: This event is open to all industry professionals. Come join us! \n  \nRegistration is now closed. To join the waitlist\, please email Jess at jessica@indianawea.org.  \n
