The
Water Haller
Unlike Vegas, what happens here SHOULDN’T stay here!
I’m talking about the Window on Ottawa of course. This is one of the good things coming out of this pandemic. I know we all want to get together for a REAL conference, but we had already planned to take this event virtual so we could reach a wider audience. This...
Meeting new water professionals while losing their mentor

The NEW National Water & Wastewater Conference
The Water Haller – September 2020 We are excited to announce a virtual version of CWWA’s National Water & Wastewater Conference NWWC2020… although most of it will be in 2021. I know… we could spend all day, every day, on webinars. In the “old” days, you could...

When Will I See You Again?
The Water Haller – May 2020 When Will I See You Again? I’ve got that old Barry Manilow song stuck in my head as I sadly announce that we must cancel the National Water & Wastewater Conference for 2020. We have no crystal ball, but it seems more likely every day...
