PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
by Clarence Wittwer
August has come and gone and by the time most of you are setting eyes on this, September will almost be a memory. As I am writing this, it was just last week that I had the honor to welcome a great group of students, staff and teachers to beautiful Longview, Texas for the East Texas Regional School. As always, the hospitality from the East Texas Region was over the top and all involved put on a heck of an event. It seemed like numbers are starting to pick back up in some of our regional schools and this is very encouraging.
On to the deep philosophical stuff that is usually left to our Executive Director and his much more talented pen. I told this story in Longview, and it has more meaning than normal because it is a true story that happened the same day that I arrived in town for their school.
On my way into town, I drove another half-hour to check in on one of our water treatment plants. This site is in the tall pine woods of East Texas and right on top of a hill made of that crazy soft white sand. If you know the area and the woods I am talking about, you know that most of the time, you can NOT drive on those socalled “streets” with anything bigger than an UTV or more simply, just good ole foot transportation.
I arrived at the gate, parked the truck and took off on foot because of course, the road was mostly sand and had recently been washed away due to the crazy flooding Northeast Texas has been experiencing. Now, to say that Google Maps is not friendly in this part of the State is a huge understatement, but it tried to keep up with me as I literally headed into the woods.
The first thing that I noticed is that our plant operator had installed stakes every 50ft or so, right down the center of the path and painted them bright blue to indicate the path to the site. The next thing that I noticed was that the street was something right out of hell...and it was a half a mile walk from where I parked to the plant site. I continued following his markers and finally saw our treatment plant at the top of a hill. To say I was surprised would also be an understatement. The site was immaculate. I would not expect less from our team, but I would have been willing to give a little leeway considering that access issues. Perfectly manicured, everything in great working order and of course, TCEQ ready.
The first thought that jumped into my mind (after, “oh crap, now I have to walk back”) was “wait a minute, HOW did they get this UP HERE?” My next thought was more of a feeling of complete respect for our operator. It made me wonder, how many of our operators, TWUA operators, take a walk like that, day in and out with no recognition? We often hear and tell the war stories of the more visible aspects of our industry, like working in a hole for 12 or more hours to fix a leak but how often do we hear the stories of those walking that road from hell day in and out to get to their site? What about the guys at the wastewater treatment plant clearing out a pump or cleaning a manual bar screen? Thats right folks, many of our utilities still have those and they do not clean themselves.
This past year as President has been great but there have been days where I felt like I was on that road in the woods, following the blue stakes and now I have finally arrived in September to hand the gavel, GPS and bug spray off to our next leader. I get to hand over the reins here at Annual School, but I ask a favor of you all before I do.... for the love all that is good, please make sure there are some blue painted stakes wherever you go in life. If you can’t find them, make them for the next operator behind you!
IF NOT, WHY? Do you know that TWUA members:
• Receive a discount (from 10% to 35%) on TWUA training
• Receive a subscription to the monthly TWUA Journal
• Receive free updates on regulatory and technology changes
• Have easy access to industry matter experts, vendors, and product providers
• Have the opportunity to apply for scholarship assistance for yourself or your legal tax dependent children
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 we ask that You guide, direct, protect, and bless TWUA and its members. Father, we thank you as we offer praise in the name of Jesus. Amen
The drought is still concerning in parts of Texas. Parts of Texas are getting rain, but watersheds remain dry. In West Texas, Lake Spence sits at 13.1 % (- 0.5 %). White River is sitting at 19.6 % (+1.7 %). Panhandle - Lake Meredith is sitting at 40.3 % (-0.7 %), and Greenbelt is at 9.0 % (- 0.6 %). If you want a complete look at current lake levels, go to waterdatafortexas.org. The drought has never left for some.
For those seeking Live In-Person Operator Training – Please look at the TWUA Training Calendar (twua. org/training) and take a look at Annual School (Corpus Christi) – September 23rd – 26th, 2024. West Texas Region (Lubbock) November 4th – 7th 2024.
Lead Inventory – The deadline for your Lead Line Inventory Survey is approaching quickly. You need to be able to document every service line in your distribution system. The date for compliance is October 16, 2024.
Annual School—The 106th Annual School will be held from September 23rd to 26th, 2024. All training classes (for annual school) will begin on Tuesday, September 24th, at 8:00 a.m. The last board meeting, awards, and reception will be held Monday beginning at 5:30 p.m. TWUA will make the ability to pre-register, but for those who last minute changes, onsite registration is always welcome. We recognize that you have a choice regarding
operator training, and we thank you for your support and patronage.
Resiliency Training – (Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences). https://www.tceq.texas.gov/downloads/licensing/occupational/publications/rg-637-resiliency-requirements-for-water-operators-and-training-providers.pdf
Fingerprint—TCEQ’s preferred method of receiving criminal history information is fingerprinting, which will result in a more expeditious review of your application. There is a one-time fee for fingerprinting, but once subscribed, you will not need to repay the fee or get fingerprinted again if you have a current, valid occupational license with TCEQ.
Please note that the fingerprinting option is agency-specific; background checks conducted for any other agency or purpose are not accepted, as fingerprint data cannot be shared between State Agencies.
My understanding is that fingerprinting is NOT Mandatory at this time; however, the one-time fingerprinting process will expedite the application/renewal process.

The Story Goes Something Like This –
Four friends had a weekly tradition where there would be one from the group who drove the others to the local country club for a round of golf.
Unfortunately, one afternoon, upon leaving the golf course, a horrific car crash occurred, and all in the car lost their lives.
After dying in a car crash, the four friends go to Heaven for an orientation session. St. Peter was providing general information about what eternal life would be like and
wrapped up by asking the four new arrivals a question. “When you are in your casket and family and friends are mourning over you at your farewell service, what would you like to hear them say about you?”
The first guy responds – “I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor, a loyal supporter of his community, and a great family man.”
The second guy says, “I would love to hear them say that I was a wonderful, devoted father, husband, family man, and a school teacher who made a huge difference in the children of tomorrow.”
The third guy says – “I would love to hear them say that I was one of the great design engineers of my time, a loving father and husband, a generous person, and I brought great joy to those who knew me.”
Bubba was the last guy to respond and, after much
thought, said – “The thing that would bring me the most joy is as the preacher is about to begin, I would wish to hear him say ‘Praise be to Jesus! It’s a miracle, folks; I see Bubba moving his arms, and the noise you hear is his legs kicking the casket!”
Stay Safe, and Remember – we do not need all the operators in Texas to be a member of TWUA – JUST YOU ! ! ! !
EMBRACING MANDATED INNOVATION: A GUIDE FOR GOVERNMENT LEADERS
T’Neil Walea, Govloop, August 2024
How do you inspire your team to accept change and embrace innovation?
Let’s be honest. Change is hard, and nothing changes faster than government work. In the reality of government service, we have a workforce that frequently finds itself navigating seasons of change created by mandates or political shifts. To further complicate things, the landscapes of government agencies today are often a hybrid of on-premises legacy technology systems, cloud-based solutions, and remote work.
As a team leader in this complex environment, your role involves not only managing this complexity personally but also steering your team through mandated change. Directives sometimes roll out with insufficient resources and funding. Some are easy to sell, while some require your best game face to convince the team to accept a new path. It’s a challenging task, particularly when dealing
with the often-disheartening gap between legislative mandates, practical realities, and budget constraints.
Fostering a culture that adapts easily to change can significantly enhance your team’s effectiveness and morale. So, how can you inspire your team to accept necessary change and embrace enforced innovation? Here are five strategies to help you cultivate a culture that not only accepts but also thrives on navigating change.
1. Lead by Example
Ghandi said it best, “Be the change you want to see.” Change is inherently difficult, and mandated change even more so. As a leader, your attitude toward these changes will set the tone and trajectory for your organization. By investing the time to understand the hows and whys of a particular disruption, you can better navigate the
implementation process and make informed decisions. Lead with resilience and adaptability. Show your team that you are not simply accepting these changes but actively engaging with them. A proactive stance will help instill a similar attitude in your team members, making them more likely to embrace new systems and processes.
2. Provide Resources
Effective upskilling and reskilling are key to successful implementation of new systems and processes and in turn will inspire innovation. Ensure that your team has access to the necessary resources — whether it’s training programs, workshops, or online courses — to build the skills required for adapting to mandated change. Investing in your team’s development not only equips them with the tools they need but also demonstrates your commitment to their growth. When your team feels supported and empowered through adequate training, they are more likely to approach new challenges with confidence and enthusiasm.
3. Foster Open Communication
Encourage open lines of communication within your team. Creating an environment where team members feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, questions, and concerns can lead to valuable insights and collaborative problem-solving. Regularly solicit feedback on the implementation of new systems and processes, and be open to making adjustments based on that input. By involving your team in the conversation about change, you foster a sense of ownership and buy-in. This will significantly enhance the adoption of new initiatives and drive innovation.
4. Embrace a Growth Mindset
Cultivate a growth mindset within your team. Encourage them to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth rather than obstacles. Promote the idea that innovation is a continuous journey, and that every setback or difficulty encountered is a chance to improve and adapt. By shifting the perspective from
fear of failure to curiosity and resilience, you create a more dynamic and adaptable team ready to meet the demands of mandated innovation head-on.
5. Celebrate the Culture You Want to Replicate
Celebrate the wins! Creating and nurturing a culture of innovation involves more than just implementing new technologies or processes; it requires celebrating and reinforcing the behaviors and attitudes you wish to see in your team. Recognize and reward efforts that align with the innovation goals of your department. Highlight success stories where team members have successfully embraced new changes or developed creative solutions to challenges. By acknowledging and celebrating these achievements, you reinforce the value of innovation and encourage others to follow suit. This positive reinforcement helps to build a culture where innovation is not just an obligation but a shared goal.
Navigating the complexities of mandated innovation in government can be challenging, but with the right approach, it is possible to turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and improvement. Through leading by example, providing essential resources, celebrating a culture of innovation, fostering open communication, and embracing a growth mindset, you can inspire your team to not only accept change but to drive it forward with enthusiasm and creativity. In doing so, you contribute to a more agile, responsive, and innovative government workforce, ready to meet the evolving needs of the public.
OSHA.GOV EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITIES –
Under the OSHA law, employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace. This is a short summary of key employer responsibilities:
• Provide a workplace free from serious recognized hazards and comply with standards, rules and regulations issued under the OSH Act.
• Examine workplace conditions to make sure they conform to applicable OSHA standards.
• Make sure employees have and use safe tools and equipment and properly maintain this equipment.
• Use color codes, posters, labels or signs to warn employees of potential hazards.
• Establish or update operating procedures and communicate them so that employees follow safety and health requirements.
• Employers must provide safety training in a language and vocabulary workers can understand.
• Employers with hazardous chemicals in the workplace must develop and implement a written hazard communication program and train employees on the hazards they are exposed to and proper precautions (and a copy of safety data sheets must be readily available). See the OSHA page on Hazard Communication
• Provide medical examinations and training when required by OSHA standards.
• Post, at a prominent location within the workplace, the OSHA poster (or the state-plan equivalent) informing employees of their rights and responsibilities.
• Report to the nearest OSHA office all work-related fatalities within 8 hours, and all work-related inpatient hospitalizations, all amputations and all losses of an eye within 24 hours. Call our toll-free number: 1-800-321OSHA (6742); TTY 1-877-889-5627. [Employers under federal OSHA's jurisdiction were required to begin reporting by Jan. 1, 2015. Establishments in a state with a state-run OSHA program should contact their state plan for the implementation date].
OSHA
• Keep records of work-related injuries and illnesses. (Note: Employers with 10 or fewer employees and employers in certain low-hazard industries are exempt from this requirement.
• Provide employees, former employees and their representatives access to the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA Form 300). On February 1, and for three months, covered employers must post the summary of the OSHA log of injuries and illnesses (OSHA Form 300A).
• Provide access to employee medical records and exposure records to employees or their authorized representatives.
• Provide to the OSHA compliance officer the names of authorized employee representatives who may be asked to accompany the compliance officer during an inspection
• Not discriminate against employees who exercise their rights under the Act. See our "Whistleblower Protection" webpage.
• Post OSHA citations at or near the work area involved. Each citation must remain posted until the violation has been corrected, or for three working days, whichever is longer. Post abatement verification documents or tags.
• Correct cited violations by the deadline set in the OSHA citation and submit required abatement verification documentation.
• OSHA encourages all employers to adopt a safety and health program. Safety and health programs, known by a variety of names, are universal interventions that can substantially reduce the number and severity of workplace injuries and alleviate the associated financial burdens on U.S. workplaces. Many states have requirements or voluntary guidelines for workplace safety and health programs. Also, numerous employers in the United States already manage safety using safety and health programs, and we believe that all employers can and should do the same. Most successful safety and health programs are based on a common set of key elements. These include management leadership, worker participation, and a systematic approach to finding and fixing hazards. OSHA's Safe and Sound page contains more information.
With the onset of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and the Governor’s Proclamation of a state of disaster in Texas, TCEQ intends to offer flexibility to licensees and applicants who were in the process of renewing or receiving an occupational license and were impacted by this outbreak
In the interest of safety, paper exams have been cancelled through 2020 However, there are some computer-based testing centers that remain open. To schedule a computer-based exam, please contact the CBT centers near you to verify if they are still operating. For other questions or concerns, please email licenses@tceq.texas.gov

Important Information for 2024 Scholarship Seekers
Good day, the VM Ehlers representatives want to remind you of the deadline for scholarship applications for the 2024/2025 academic year. Also, I have attached a copy of the latest (2024) application. Please use the revised application if you intend to apply for 2024/2025 funding.
If you are a current scholarship (2023/2024) recipient and you wish to apply for scholarship funding for the 2024/2025 academic year. You can send your 2023 transcript along with your 2024/2025 application, this will provide the information needed for your Spring 2024 funding and for your new application. The second half of your scholarship award will then be sent to you.
If you are a current scholarship (2023/2024) recipient and you do not intend to apply for the 2024/2025 academic year you must send your Fall 2023 transcript to receive the second half of your scholarship. We must receive the transcript before May 15, 2024.
The deadline for submitting applications for the 2024/2025 academic year is January 15, 2024. It is important for the applicants to get their information submitted on time. This will be even more important to those who are in high school. Best advice: don’t wait until after the Christmas/New Year’s holidays to apply for a “State of Texas Academic Achievement Record.” Instead, it is recommended you request your records before December as early in the fall as possible. We have spoken with counselors and administrators at several school districts, and they indicate it is possible to get your records before the January 15 deadline, but they stressed that requests must be made early. Check with your high school counselor for advice on your specific situation.
Please don’t forget the foundation’s revised method of evaluating the applications. Applications were previously assessed and awarded points for the number of years the applicant or sponsor of the applicant has been a member of TWUA, their major course of study, the applicant’s plans after completing their degree, household income, academic record, and extracurricular activities. After January 2023, extra (bonus) points
were awarded to member applicants and applicants sponsored by members who are actively participating in TWUA events. Applicants will be awarded one point for each district meeting the member attended during the previous five years, and 15 points will be added for each year a member has served as an officer in a district, regional, or state organization. Previously, the average score on an application was 35 points, the 2023/2024 average score increased to 55 points. Nine applicants received an additional $1,000 with their scholarship award. To receive these bonus points, applicants must attach a copy of their member’s TCEQ training record of meetings or have their district, regional, or state secretary provide a letter attesting attendance or verifying service as an officer during the last five years.
2023/2024 was the Foundations most successful year ever. The Endowment Representatives and Board are confident that the changes made improved the scholarship application process and the applicants’ experience.

WIPES
W ith Micro - Solve® microorganisms multiply. This reduces the grease that binds wipes together. Micro - Solve® reduces the risk of contact with disease.
Wipes when flushed and combined with other products and grease that is poured down drains, create "fatbergs". Once they enter the sewer lines, they can accumulate and cause backups, damaging the city's infrastructure.
