Elizabeth Heise from Trotter and Associates, Inc., will present part three of the webinar series "Choosing Your Phosphorus Removal Process" on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at 12 PM. This webinar will build on Parts 1 and 2 and provide participants with the necessary tools to evaluate both Bio-P and Chem-P and make an informed selection for a WRRF based on key deciding factors. The presenters will first discuss the information needed to make an informed decision and demonstrate what a robust RFI should include. The presentation will then consider existing facility infrastructure, including configuration, secondary treatment, solids treatment, disinfection, available capacity, operational requirements, cost, and available footprint on-site. The presenters will review the use of decision-making criteria, both monetary and nonmonetary, as part of the decision-making process. After discussing the selection process, the presenters will examine a brief example case.

The Village of Holiday Hills Sanitary Sewer Project will receive almost $1 million in federal funding to extend Northern Moraine Wastewater Reclamation District (NMWRD) sanitary sewers to residents in Holiday Hills, Le Village Vaupell, and unincorporated McHenry County. U.S. Representative Bill Foster requested the project funding to provide critical water infrastructure to improve public health, mitigate flooding, and serve McHenry County residents for generations. The project will benefit the area by improving water quality and gradually eliminating environmental deficiencies. Representative Foster toured the Holiday Hills/ Le Village Vaupell project last year along with Scott Trotter, President of Trotter and Associates, Inc. The engineering vision for this project is to maintain a sustainable municipal wastewater utility while expanding services to unsewered communities, protecting public health, and preserving the environment by reclaiming precious water and other resources.

Trotter and Associates, Inc. supports World Water Day, an annual event held on March 22 since 1993, that raises awareness of the importance of freshwater and the fact that 2.2 billion people lack access to safe water. The goal is to encourage action to tackle the global water crisis and support Sustainable Development Goal 6, which aims to ensure everyone has access to water and sanitation by 2030. Water is necessary for human well-being, agriculture, industry, and ecosystems. However, sustainable water management faces challenges such as scarcity, pollution, and overexploitation of water resources.  We encourage you to join us by visiting 2024 World Water Day campaign to access valuable materials and toolkits and learn how you can actively contribute to ensuring access to water and sanitation for all.
