Operations Challenge Committee

The Operations Challenge Committee runs the PNCWA Annual Conference Operations Challenge, based on the WEF competition of the same name. 

How do operators and technicians overcome flooding, a sewer collapse, process failure and other emergencies? Do you ever wonder what transpires behind the scenes during the operation of a wastewater treatment facility? Instead of continuing to take these unsung specialists for granted, come see some of the best wastewater collection and treatment personnel in the region display their skills at Operations Challenge at the PNCWA Conference!

Teams compete in five events (collection systems, laboratory, process control, maintenance and safety), each designed to test the diverse skills required for the operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment facilities, their collection systems and laboratories. The top teams at the PNCWA Annual Conference are sent to the WEFTEC Operations Challenge to compete against the best teams in the country! Learn more about WEF's Ops Challenge here.
