08/16/2018: WWOA would like to share this video with all of our members and non-members alike.  It is always great when our fellow colleagues working to protect and reclaim water are recognized for their work.  The video is of the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA0 Platinum award winners for 2018, but this message is that all in the industry are Legends.   We are all heroes doing crucial work for everyone's health and daily life.  Too often our industry is not recognized for the great work that all of you do.  Please take a minute to watch this video and thanks to all of the WWOA heros and legends for all of your hard work.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnaM37hIqPA&feature=youtu.be

07/03/208: The Wisconsin Wastewater Operators’ Association lost someone special this week.   Longtime friend of WWOA and the industry, Leo Templeton, age 96, passed away on Monday, July 2nd.   Leo was a mentor to many in the industry and to WWOA.  After his time in the United States Army during World War II, serving in the Pacific Theater, Leo went to work for the City of Manitowoc at the Wastewater Water Treatment Facility and retired in 1987 with the position of Superintendent.  Leo was President of the WWOA from 1980 to 1981.   He was honored with many awards including the George F.
