PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

by Jim Siddall

Next month begins very important season for TWUA. Every month beginning April 4 th in Amarillo running through November, at the West Texas Regional School in Lubbock, there will be an operator training school in every region of the state. Our Annual School will be held September 18 – 21 in Corpus Christi. The Add the monthly District meetings you will find TWUA provides training solutions for water and wastewater operators without specialized IT help. These opportunities are the perfect venue for you to increase your knowledge and improve the skills as an operator. It is important for you prepare yourself now for the future challenges of the water/wastewater industry.

Have you seen one of these: “HELP WANTED” it seems that these signs everywhere we go. It does not matter if the business is a convenience store, manufacturing company, specialized trade, or a water utility. It appears that almost business needs dependable workers. During my career the availability of jobs and applicants has fluctuated over the years from 50 or more applicants for every job, to so many job vacancies that it affects operations. Last year as I traveled across the state, I did an informal survey of the “The Biggest Challenges facing Utilities” At every location I asked the question “What was your utilities biggest challenge last year?” The unanimous answer, from all parts of the state, was hiring and retaining employees.

Human resource specialists explore ways to enhance recruitment and retention of workers. The typical remedies are increased starting wages, improved benefits, flexible work hours, collective management techniques in which every employee has a voice in decision-making, reasonable workloads, and various methods for employee engagement. To become more competitive, utilities have raised starting pay and examined various incentives to entice would-be workers through their doors. Regardless of their best attempts, utility managers say that they struggle to bring people into the industry. Sometimes when individuals interview and receive a job offer, they

don’t always show up to work. At other times, they work a short time but then quickly determine that the work does not suit them. What are employers to do? How do they engage workers? More importantly how long will this last? What you as an operator and/or manager/supervisor must do now is determine: what’s in my future? Are we going to remain in competition with other industries and utilities for employees?

During my time as a Utility Manager, I had to deal with the shifts from not enough workers to a surplus of applicants. Is our future going to continue with a shortage of qualified operators or will it be an economic recession with fewer job opportunities? Think about this: many utilities have operated the past couple of years with fewer operators. Does this mean the utility can operate with a reduced staff?

Managers, Supervisors and Operators now realize – in times when there is a shortage of applicants/employees, your utility needs skills training to give their operators the knowledge they need to be successful, or they will leave. In times when we have more applicants than jobs, your utility wants potential employees who are self-motivated with training, so they recruit these individuals to fill the few vacancies they have.

How do you prepare yourself for either circumstance? One way to accomplish this is to attend water certification training. Learn from industry experts the latest trends and see cutting edge technology. Besides earning renewal credit hours and receiving an all-things-utility refresher, managers and supervisors can witness personal motivation in action. TWUA is the place for this training. Regional schools and district meetings teach operators the skills they need to be successful and ultimately, better serve our customers.

Now is the time to Join TWUA – Renew your membership –Attend district meetings and regional schools – Get yourself in the best position to improve your career and serve your community. This is especially true for Managers, Directors and Supervisors, TWUA is the place to find the motivated operators you want and need. If you want further information, go to TWUA.ORG or call the TWUA office at 888-367-8982

I hope to see you in Amarillo or one of the other training events.

by Russell Hamilton, TWUA Executive Director

Father, we bow our heads in respect and humbly say thank you, as we acknowledge that you are the creator. We take comfort in knowing that You remain in charge and control of life as we understand it. We need You, and we welcome You in all we do. We come into Your presence seeking Your grace, calm, guidance, and forgiveness. Father, we pray for Your mercy and grace, and we ask that You guide, direct, protect, and bless TWUA and its members. Father, we thank you for your forgiveness as we offer praise in the name of Jesus. Amen

In West Texas, Lake Spence is sitting at 17.8 % (- 0.4 %). White River is sitting at 13.1 % (-0.5 %). Panhandle - Lake Meredith is sitting at 30.3 % (- 0.1 %), and Greenbelt is at 11.6 % (- 0.1 %). If you want a complete look at current lake levels, go to waterdatafortexas.org. The drought has never left for some.

Annual School – the 105th Annual School will remain in Corpus Christi. The dates are September 18th – 21st, 2023. After the 100th anniversary, it was suggested that the association make each upcoming 5th year a special event to acknowledge and commemorate the association and those who have served in management positions. Not sure at this point the specifics on how the 105th will be celebrated, but please, make plans now to come and be a part of this historic accomplishment. Registration is now open for the host hotel (Omni) and for class registration.

Mark your calendar for the 2023 Regional opportunities

– Amarillo will kick off the regional events beginning April 4th – 6th, 2023. Beaumont will be April 24th – 27th, 2023. Abilene will be May 9th – 11th2023. Arlington will be May 15th – 19th, 2023. Killeen will be June 6th – 8th. 2023. San Marcos will be July 11th – 13th, 2023. Longview will be August 28th – 31st, 2023. Fort Stockton will be August 14th – 17th, 2023. Lubbock will be November 7th – 9th, 2023. The entire regional calendar and links to all the fliers will

be activated as soon as possible, so you can register for any region now, using budgets more efficiently.

Amarillo, Beaumont, and April Training Calendar

– What do these items share? April 3rd, the Panhandle Region (Amarillo) kicks off the Regional School in-person training for TWUA. Then April 24th, the Southeast Texas (Beaumont) Region will host their Regional School.

There are “sunk costs” or upfront expenses associated with all TWUA Live In-person training events. For things such as securing meeting locations, training manuals, and hiring instructors (just to name a few), the regions have to “walk in faith” and trust those needing training will participate. Sadly, for some traditional regional events, 2023 will determine if that particular regional event can continue. Even Annual School in 2022 had issues meeting the room block at the Omni.

Just an observation – No training provider is in the water and wastewater venue providing operator training, is doing so, to get rich. The entire TWUA regional school concept is struggling. If operators and those desiring to become operators do not participate in the regional events (in your area), some of the events will not be around in 2024. It takes ten paying attendees (per class offering) just to cover the costs mentioned above.

District Meeting Attendance – TWUA maintains that the monthly district meeting concept is the best way to obtain renewal hours and build contacts. Sharing information and problem-solving can easily happen in this monthly meeting format. How long has it been since you attended a monthly district meeting? As the commercial used to say, “well partner, that’s too long.”

The Story Goes Something Like This –

Integrity is not something you can put on a resume. It is not something that “just happens.” Integrity is the process of continually doing the right thing, time and time again, even when no one is watching, until that value becomes core to who you are.

What do you think of when someone mentions Personal Ethics? Typical responses might be – Integrity, Honesty, Loyalty, and Respect.

What would you do if you were placed in a position where you would be called on to alter the results of a field analytical test for the municipality in which you work?

Imagine being the superintendent of a water department for a city. This city is struggling financially. Businesses have closed their doors and moved to larger nearby communities. Individuals and families are leaving in search of work. The future appears gloomy.

The disinfection equipment for this struggling city is old and requires constant maintenance and attention. You have asked the city council to provide money or approve purchase orders to purchase new disinfection equipment. The city council says there are simply no funds for the needs.

Fast forward six months, and a holiday weekend is approaching. On Friday, you verify chlorine dosage is .2 and system pressure is 38 psi in the far reaches of the distribution system.

On Saturday, during rounds, you notice the representative sample indicates the system chlorine level is less than the state requirement. You check the chlorinator and discover that the diaphragm appears to have a tear. The O rings seem hard and brittle, and you have no spare replacement parts on hand.

You go through the chain of command and end up informing the mayor that due to not being able to maintain minimum chlorine residual, you need to contact TCEQ and discuss issuing a boil water notice. The mayor gets upset and tells you not to do anything and to meet him at the chlorinator site.

When the mayor gets out of his car, he is holding a clear quart mason jar with what appears to be water in the jar. He says the water sample was collected by him at the edge of town just now, and he would like for you to retest the sample. When you take the lid off, you detect a

bleach-like smell. When you test the sample, it indicates the disinfection level is 4.1 mg/L.

The mayor says something to the effect – I will collect you a sample of water for the next few days for reporting, and if you value your job, you will report an adequate disinfection level and keep any suspicions to yourself.

After the mayor leaves, you take a sample directly from the ground storage tank, and the sample results are .024 mg/L.

What (if anything) do your ethics and integrity lead you to do ?

Stay Safe, and Remember – we do not need all the operators in Texas to be a member of TWUA – JUST YOU !

14 WAYS TO GET ORGANIZED

By Candace Thorson, Govloop

Even the most organized people occasionally slip into disorder. Perhaps they neglect to file something or tidy their email inbox, or maybe they allow a stack of papers to grow haphazardly on the corner of their desk. For those of us who struggle with personal organization — whether it’s been a lifetime challenge or something more recent — developing an organizational plan can seem overwhelming.

So, to help you sort through the clutter, here are  14 ways to get (better) organized at work.

1. Time block your days.  In other words, plan out your calendar so you can work on certain tasks during specific chunks of times. That will help minimize distractions, but you’ll still have enough flexibility to deal with last-minute meetings and requests.

2. Establish a routine. Performing certain tasks at the same time every day will increase efficiency and bring structure to your work life. You might start every day by checking and responding to emails, for instance, or reviewing memos.

3. Adhere to your schedule. Avoid being sidetracked and deviating from your time block schedule and carefully planned routine. This is especially critical when other people rely on you to perform tasks before they can accomplish theirs.

4. Use your email calendar.  Input due dates and other deadlines into your email calendar so they’re more noticeable, and set alerts to help remind you of them. In fact, make sure to set alerts for all your calendar appointments.

5. Write things down.  Ever been  sure that you’ll remember something…and then you didn’t? Writing things down is really important — whether it’s in a physical or digital notepad or some other format that works for you.

6. Make a color-coded to-do list.  Not all tasks are created equally. Color code items on your to-do list based on their priority level, project type, or some other rationale.

7. Develop checklists and templates. For recurring projects and tasks, use checklists and templates to standardize and streamline your work and prevent you from skipping steps. And with templates, you won’t have to reinvent the wheel for every project.

8. Create a filing system. Physical, digital and email folders will help you organize your work and correspondence. Ensure that the folders are specific enough to be useful.

9. Clean up regularly. A clean desk is psychologically important; it helps make you more motivated and focused and more productive because you can find key documents more easily. The trick is to dedicate a little time each week to throwing away unnecessary items and ensuring that your filing system is up to date.

10. Get desk organizers. Ever open a desk drawer and find a jumble of, well…stuff? Simple desk organizers that keep pens in one place, paper clips in another, and folders together, for instance, will tidy the mess and open up your workspace. And, yes, that makes you more productive.

11. Avoid multitasking.  People used to boast about working on many things simultaneously…but no more. In fact, when you focus on only one task or project at a time, you can reduce mistakes and stress and are more likely to meet your deadlines. There’s also something very satisfying about crossing items off your to-do list.

12. Take regular breaks. Everyone needs some mental health time during the workday. Get up and walk around or sit outside and enjoy the air for a few minutes. You’ll be more focused and, ultimately, less distracted.

13. Set aside specific time for emails. Don’t try to read or respond to emails as soon as they land in your inbox. That’s distracting, and important messages can fall through the cracks. Instead, dedicate blocks of time to checking emails — and hold to them.

14. Use the right tools.  There are lots of software and project management tools that can keep you focused, organized and more efficient, so ensure that you’re using what’s available to you.

It’s not necessary to follow all 14 tips — maybe only a few resonate with you — but adhering to any of them will help organize your work life. And being organized, as Martha Stewart might say, is a good thing.

(according to EPA.GOV/PFAS)

PFAS (commonly referred to as forever chemicals) are a group of manufactured chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s because of their useful properties. There are thousands of different PFAS, some of which have been more widely used and studied than others.

Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS), for example, are two of the most widely used and studied chemicals in the PFAS group. PFOA and PFOS have been replaced in the United States with other PFAS in recent years.

One common characteristic of concern of PFAS is that many break down very slowly and can build up in people, animals, and the environment over time.

PFAS Can Be Found in Many Places

PFAS can be present in our water, soil, air, and food as well as in materials found in our homes or workplaces, including:

• Drinking water  – in public drinking water systems and private drinking water wells.

• Soil and water at or near waste sites - at landfills,

disposal sites, and hazardous waste sites such as those that fall under the federal Superfund and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act programs.

• Fire extinguishing foam - in aqueous filmforming foams (or AFFFs) used to extinguish flammable liquid-based fires.  Such foams are used in training and emergency response events at airports, shipyards, military bases, firefighting training facilities, chemical plants, and refineries.

• Manufacturing or chemical production facilities that produce or use PFAS – for example, at chrome plating, electronics, and certain textile and paper manufacturers.

• Food – for example, in fish caught from water contaminated by PFAS and dairy products from livestock exposed to PFAS.

• Food packaging – for example, in grease-resistant paper, fast food containers/wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, pizza boxes, and candy wrappers.

Have you heard of Polyfluoroalkyl or commonly referred to as PFAS chemicals

• Household products and dust – for example, in stain and water-repellent used on carpets, upholstery, clothing, and other fabrics; cleaning products; non-stick cookware; paints, varnishes, and sealants.

• Personal care products – for example in certain shampoo, dental floss, and cosmetics.

• Biosolids – for example fertilizer from wastewater treatment plants that is used on agricultural lands can affect ground and surface water and animals that graze on the land.

People Can Be Exposed to PFAS in a Variety of Ways

Due to their widespread production and use, as well as their ability to move and persist in the environment, surveys conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that most people in the United States have been exposed to some PFAS. Most known exposures are relatively low, but some can be high, particularly when people are exposed to a concentrated source over long periods of time. Some PFAS chemicals can accumulate in the body over time.

Current research has shown that people can be exposed to PFAS by:

• Working in occupations such as firefighting or chemicals manufacturing and processing.

• Drinking water contaminated with PFAS.

• Eating certain foods that may contain PFAS, including fish.

• Swallowing contaminated soil or dust.

• Breathing air containing PFAS.

• Using products made with PFAS or that are packaged in materials containing PFAS.

Exposure to PFAS May Be Harmful to Human Health

Current scientific research suggests that exposure to high levels of certain PFAS may lead to adverse health outcomes. However, research is still ongoing to determine how different levels of exposure to different PFAS can lead to a variety of health effects. Research is also underway to better understand

the health effects associated with low levels of exposure to PFAS over long periods of time, especially in children.

What We Know about Health Effects

Current peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that exposure to certain levels of PFAS may lead to:

• Reproductive effects such as decreased fertility or increased high blood pressure in pregnant women.

• Developmental effects or delays in children, including low birth weight, accelerated puberty, bone variations, or behavioral changes.

• Increased risk of some cancers, including prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers.

• Reduced ability of the body’s immune system to fight infections, including reduced vaccine response.

• Interference with the body’s natural hormones.

• Increased cholesterol levels and/or risk of obesity.

Additional Health Effects are Difficult to Determine

Scientists at EPA, in other federal agencies, and in academia and industry are continuing to conduct and review the growing body of research about PFAS. However, health effects associated with exposure to PFAS are difficult to specify for many reasons, such as:

• There are thousands of PFAS with potentially varying effects and toxicity levels, yet most studies focus on a limited number of better-known PFAS compounds.

• People can be exposed to PFAS in different ways and at different stages of their life.

• The types and uses of PFAS change over time, which makes it challenging to track and assess how exposure to these chemicals occurs and how they will affect human health.

CYBERSECURITY

What you do not know could be harmful! Be Alert! Where is your DATA?

by Wanda Venter

Have you ever browsed for a product online and just seconds later found several similar products being advertised everywhere?

Marketers know how to collect information about us and use this private data to their advantage. But what can these marketers do with our personal data, and why is it a problem?

What does a “privacy policy” mean?

What does the term private policy mean? Is there truly something as “private data” today? A data privacy policy is used to explain how a website or an app collects data and the use and handling of the personal data of their users. Legally, there are a number of laws that require organizations to have privacy policies in place.

Moreover, privacy policies should explain what personal information is collected, how it is used, and whether it is shared with third parties. Users should also be informed about what rights they have over their data.

Why is data privacy important?

Horrible things can happen when private data is shared with the wrong people. Nobody wants to share their personal information with someone they do not know, or even worse, someone who could use it to harm them. A breach of information can make one vulnerable to identity theft or cause people to misuse it. Also, cybercriminals get huge amounts paid for information they sell on the dark web!

What can you do to protect your personal data online?

 Use trusted and secure websites when sharing info

Before you disclose or start filling in sensitive information, check for the SSL symbol at the top of the website to ensure your data is encrypted.

 Strong & unique passwords are important

The longer and stronger your password, the harder it is for a cybercriminal to hack your account. Also, it is a good idea to change your passwords regularly. There are many password managers available to assist people with that. A two-factor authentication can also be used, if possible, to further secure your information. This will provide an extra layer of security if your password gets compromised.

 Be cautious of Phishing emails

Phishing emails can come in many forms. Lookout for emails that impersonate a well-known domain, a trusted individual, or a brand like a bank or organization. Also, beware of emails from accounts that have been compromised. For example, emails from a friend’s social media account.

 Use a VPN & Firewall

Virtual private networks (VPNs) are suitable for blocking access to unauthorized users, especially those from other countries. Also, a VPN can hide your IP address, which gives one the
