Senator Sherrod Brown Receives WEF Public Officials Award

Ohio and OWEA were center stage during the recent WEFTEC! Our own Senator Sherrod Brown received the WEF Public Officials Award during the WEF Awards Ceremony. The Public Officials Award is presented to an elected or appointed public official that has made a documented, significant contribution in the areas of clean water legislation, public policy, government service, or another area of public prominence that resulted in improvements to the water environment. OWEA was proud to nominate Senator Brown and very excited he was chosen by WEF. 

Biosolids Workshop slated for December

Unfortunately, in 2020 we weren’t able to offer a Biosolids Workshop due to increasing COVID-19 cases. WE are BACK in 2021 and can’t wait to see you on Tuesday, December 7 at the Embassy Suites in Dublin, Ohio. The agenda for this great event will be posted soon, but you can still register and secure your spot for the last in person workshop of 2021 HERE.

OWEA In-Person Meetings and COVID-19

We know some of you are ready to be together again and while no activity is without risk, we are doing everything possible to make OWEA workshops safe. We strongly encourage all attendees to our in-person workshops to be vaccinated and we will follow all local health/venue guidelines. We will continue to distance attendees from one another and will request attendees wear masks as appropriate.
