Dear WEAT Members,

We are coming to the end of the 2011-2012

WEAT season and I wanted to thank everyone

for helping us have a very successful year. We

started off the year with a very informative

presentation on Odor Control in September at

HESS, our November meeting we toured the

City of Houston 69th Street Wastewater Treat-

ment Plant and in January we had another tour of

the brand new Missouri City Surface Water

Treatment Plant. The January meeting was our

first joint meeting with our friends at the Texas

Public Works Association (TPWA). Also in the

Spring, we held our joint technical seminar with

AWWA, which contained some great guests and

had a great turnout.

Our next meeting is Thursday, June 7th at HESS

and is our annual Ethics Training Seminar and

will be conducted by Clint Walker of Arcadis.

Please come out for a very entertaining session

and take care of your annual continuing educa-

tion requirement.

We do have some good news regarding our web-

site. As some of you might have noticed, the

website is now live and up to date! The address

is http://www.weat.org/southeast/. We will

begin utilizing the website for communicating

with our membership as well as meeting RSVP

and payment. Please let us know if you have any

feedback.

You can now RSVP on our website or you can still

directly RSVP to Monica Stiggins at (281) 589-

7257 or [email protected]

I want to say a special thanks to Hartwell and New-

man Regency for sponsoring the June Ethics Meet-

ing. Please contact me or Frank Stephens

([email protected]) if you are inter-

ested in sponsoring a meeting or placing your com-

pany’s advertisement in our newsletter.

The new WEAT officers will be meeting early this

summer to determine dates and topics for the next

the season. We will inform everyone of these dates

as soon as possible.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Ethics meet-

ing next week. For those that can not attend the

meeting, we hope to see you this summer at the

Social or at next season’s meetings.
