Enter into Evansville’s Eager Endeavors!
2022-10-07 09:45 - 14:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Sunrise Pump Station, 1200 Waterworks Rd, Evansville, IN, United States
Facilities Tour from the Young Professionals Committee
Come 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.

Who should attend: This event is open to all industry professionals. Come join us!

SIOA Indiana Finance Authority Meeting & Plant Tour
2022-04-20 10:00 - 13:00 | Shelbyville Parks Department, 945 S Tompkins Street, Shelbyville, 46176
In 2018, the State convened the Water Infrastructure Task Force (“Task Force”) to study drinking water and wastewater utility needs and best practices in Indiana. One recommendation of the Task Force was for the State to assist utilities with long term planning by establishing Water Infrastructure Study Areas for the purpose of studying supply and demand, drought preparedness, infrastructure needs, and opportunities for utility collaboration within a region.
As a result of these recommendations, the 2019 Indiana General Assembly enacted Senate Enrolled Act 4. (“SEA 4”) requiring the IFA to conduct regional meetings throughout the state to enable drinking water and wastewater utilities to work together to address long term needs. SEA 4 also requires drinking water and wastewater utilities to report their participation in the meetings to the IFA. Communities seeking SRF funding must attend a Regional Planning Meeting. Sarah Hudson from IFA will be leading the meeting, and attendance at the meeting counts for your yearly requirement!
There will also be WWTP tours oﬀered before the meeting. Registration is $10 per person.
Plant Tours: 10am-12pm
Lunch and Presentation: 12pm-1pm
Lunch will be provided. Register today by emailing sioaofficer@gmail.com.
