IWT is pleased to invite RMWEA members to a facility tour of the City of Greeley's Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility. Please register through rmwea.org and bring a photo ID with you. We will split into two groups and spend 2+ hours moving through both sites.

The Greeley facility will be under construction in May, so we will require the following PPE: hard hats, vests, closed toed shoes, pants, and eye protection (normal glasses are fine). Participants will also be required to sign a tour waiver prior to the site walk. 

We hope you will stay for an IWT sponsored happy hour to follow at WeldWerks Brewing Co.

Greeley is excited to host it's 2025 PWO on Thursday, May 22nd!

The 2025 PWO has enlisted new and familiar faces to enlighten us as we continue on our never-ending learning path that is the wastewater treatment business! Gather with your neighboring wastewater professionals as we discuss Biological Nutrient Removal (Pat Radabaugh - Dewberry) to help meet current and future regulations as discussed in the day's Regulatory Update (Alex Ratcliff - Brown and Caldwell).

Intensification of treatment processes using Partial Denitrification-Anammox (Chris deBarbadillo - Black & Veatch) certainly has implications when it comes to meeting those Reg 85 and 31 nutrient limits, as does the emerging technology of Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactors - MABR (Becca Chapa - Black & Veatch). 

With all this new technology being built, we'll get some insight on what success looks like in construction, start-up, and operation of a new facility (Eric Vaughan and Lance Dennis). Finally, it takes some doing getting to a comfortable spot with your operation, so what's life in our industry without a bit of operator troubleshooting? Bob Dabkowski joins us to round out the seminar by providing an interactive discussion on Diagnosing and Workshopping Real-Life Plant Challenges.

Of course there will be breakfast, lunch, a visit from John Wright to discuss operator involvement in the Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association, and several breaks to stretch and mingle!

Agenda and registration are now live, so register soon! This is a members only event, so sign up as an RMWEA member to access all of this year's trainings and events!

Shotgun start at 9:00 AM
Banquet 2:30 - 4:30 PM

Sponsorship  Levels

Come join us for another great golf season with one of the best tournaments of the year, the “Operations Challenge” Golf Tournament. This year marks the 26th Annual event. 

The tournament will be held on Monday, June 2, 2025, at Todd Creek Golf Course located in Thornton, Colorado. This Arthur Hills designed golf course provides a truly unique experience. The majestic Rocky Mountain backdrop coupled with undulating fairways and strategic placement of bunkers will provide a true test to every level of golfer.

Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association (RMWEA), a non-profit organization comprised of water quality professionals throughout Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico, and the RMWEA Operations Challenge. RMWEA’s goal will be to provide support to participate in the National Operations Challenge competition held during the Water Environment Federation's Annual Technical Conference & Exposition (WEFTEC).

Registration will open March 20, 2025, for Friends of Operations Challenge Golf only (limit only 1 team per registration). It will open for general registration on Thursday, March 27, 2024. Please check out our Golf Sponsor Levels as we have added some new and exciting sponsorship levels.

RMWEA participation at the national level would not be possible without the tremendous and continued financial support from local and regional sponsors that include treatment plant vendors, equipment manufacturers, contractors, engineering firms, and other organizations that directly or indirectly support the RMWEA. Sponsors who participate are recognized with a company logo or name displayed at the golf tournament. Additionally, recognition will be made at the awards banquet, on the RMWEA website, and at future Operations Challenge events. Sponsorship may be tax deductible. Please see attached for more tournament and sponsorship information. You can also find additional information and register online at www.rmwea.org. We typically sell out, so register early! 

The challenge is on! Please join us on Monday, June 2, 2024, and help support the RMWEA Operations Challenge. If you have participated in the past, you know this is a fun atmosphere with plenty of food and prizes and a great way to network with consultants, contractors, and other organizations.

Thank you in advance for your support!
