Last post for today, I’m off the clock at 1500. We called in an extra grit dump today due to the influent line cleaning maintenance task performed this morning. Typically we will fill two of these dump trucks a week with accumulated debris removed from the wastewater stream, each truckload is an average of 10,000-pounds of trash that is hauled away to the landfill. This week it will be three truckloads. Have to be careful to dodge the splashing/flying material as it drops! #CAWaterWeek #WomenInWater #instagramtakeover with Amanda Bird, Santa Cruz WW Treatment Facility @pandalarabird
Shutting down the dewatering centrifuges for the day. The machines have an auto-wash feature to flush them out, it’s my task to hose down the truck bay to get it clean in preparation for tomorrow’s dewatering. #CAWaterWeek #womeninwater #instagramtakeover with @pandalarabird

2017 P3S Conference
Our P3S Committee had such a great time at last week's conference in Santa Rosa (the beautiful sunny skies and fun downtown certainly helped!). A couple hundred CA water pros gathered to discuss pretreatment regs, stormwater, one water, local limits, public outreach and more. We honored several companies for outstanding pretreatment operations and it was a proud moment to induct P3S Committee Leaders Alina Constantinescu and Berlinda Blackburn into the Order of the Silver Cover.
