Trotter and Associates, Inc. (TAI) is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor for WaterCON in Peoria from April 15 through April 17 at the Peoria Civic Center. TAI is a full-service civil engineering firm structured to meet the growing needs of our municipal clients. Trotter and Associates, Inc. has the water and wastewater engineering expertise required to resolve the complex issues brought on by increased development, changing regulatory environment, and aging infrastructure. The potable water system is one of the most important services a community can provide. It protects public health, enhances the quality of life, is instrumental in fire protection, and supports economic growth within the community. As such, systems must be designed and operated in a way that interruption of service is an unusual event. Visit us at Booth 312 and 314. Scott Trotter, Steve Cieslica, Chris Marschinke, and Brandon Thomas look forward to meeting you in person to discuss your needs. 

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.
