Does your facility have a great safety program? Then tell us! OWEA is accepting applications for the 2021 Safety Awards (applications are submitted the following year) until April 15, 2022. This is your chance to show everyone how much of a priority safety is where you work. There are three possible levels of recognition: OWEA Safety Certificate, OWEA Safety Award and the WEF Burke Award. Categories are divided buy number of employees and wastewater treatment and collections. This year a NEW category has been created for those interested parties that don’t really fit in wastewater or collections – Support System of the Year. You can find out more information and apply HERE.

The Ohio EPA wants to make sure you know the best way for your facility and community to obtain funding from the recent federal infrastructure bill. Plan now to join the webinar on April 27, 2022, at 11:30 a.m. to receive updates on the federal infrastructure bill, and to learn more about how Ohio EPA will be administering these funds through the existing Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) and Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA). This webinar will cover some funding basics, provide an overview of the federal infrastructure bill (known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or Bipartisan Infrastructure Law), review the highlights of U.S. EPA's "Implementation Memo," and provide an overview of some potential WPCLF/WSRLA program enhancements. Ohio's implementation timeline and "next steps" will also be discussed. Time will be included for comments and Q & A. Register for the webinar HERE.
