Dennis is only the second circuit rider in Virginia which, like Pennsylvania, formed a rural water association in 1987. Despite having 2019 community systems serving communities under 10,000 population, Virginia differs from Pennsylva nia in having only a handful (8 or 10) unfiltered surface water systems. In fact, of the 2086 systems in the state, 1816, or 87%, rely on wells or springs. Even though a number of the spring systems will likely have to provide filtration as a result of the Surface Water Treatment Rule, the magnitude of the situation appears to be smaller there than here. Dennis started work in municipal treatment in 1983-1984. He attended Drew University in Madison, New Jersey, and he and his wife Ronda have a three-year-old girl named Molly. One almost always associates chemical treatment with greensand media, head loss build-up/pressure drop can surface water.

Chester, PA 19013·1899 Box 504, DuBois, PA 15801 13 REFLECTIONS By Herb Pizer As I travel across the state of Pennsylvania visiting water systems and conducting training sessions, I have the opportuni ty to read a number of local newspapers. One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is the number of articles that keep telling the public how bad and unsafe the drinking water is in Pennsylvania. Yes, there are problems with the water in Pennsylvania, but the public water supplies that serve the vast majority of people in Pennsylvania are not killing people or making the people sick. As a consumer, how would you like to drink the water from Mexico on a daily basis? That water does kill and make people sick. As water suppliers, we must overcome this "bad press" and tell the consumer that the water that they are drinking is safe. Be proud of the water you produce and serve. NOTES FROM THE ROAD . By Steve Krchnavy, Circuit Rider While attending the National Rural Water Association Annual Convention in Columbus, Ohio, again I was exposed to the overall scope of Rural Water. You, the small systems operators, are pieces of a large puzzle that encompass the entire lower 48 states. When Herb, Bill or myself visit your system or you talk to Cheryl in our office, you are also contacting Neil, the Circuit Rider in Louisiana; Carl, the wastewater technician in Michigan; Lynn the Program Manager in Oregon; and the Ohio Office Manager, Tara. My 4 7 circuit rider colleagues, 15 wastewater technicians and 40 program managers are pulling resources for more than 8500 members of Rural Water organizations around the country. While attending NRWA technical sessions or visiting hospitality rooms I made contact with operators, managers and board members of small systems from many states. We shared similar problems and hopefully found a few answers. The 1500 people attending this session from all parts of the country made me realize that you, the small systems operator, can have a loud voice affecting change in our industry. Your input through PA Rural Water to National Rural Water can help folks from New Mexico to Maine. I would like to challenge all of our members to make PA Rural Water the dynamic leader of the future in the large puzzle, which is National Rural Water Association. Remember this is your Association, so let's all join hands and walk into the 90's united in one voice. _ -.-,______DOWN THE LINE By Bill Keller, Wastewater Technician I've got a few things rattling around in my head, and I need to empty it out. After all "an empty head is a peaceful head," so bear with me- this won't take long! 1) First, P.R.W.A. has purchased a microscope for the wastewater program for use in the field. Anyone having a use or need for it should call our office so we can set up an appointment. 2) Congratulations to the City of Franklin wastewater plant for receiving another commendation from EPA As I under stand, this is the second time around for Mark Breene and his gang. Rumor has it they even have a dixie cup dispenser at their effluent pipe. Keep up the good work! 3) Keep in mind, April 2 and 3 of 1990 is our state technical conference in Altoona. We also are planning some other activities for 1990 dealing more with wastewater. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 4) My buddy Bugs did get a raise! 5) My mind's empty!
