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 water resource recovery facility? Instead of continuing to take these unsung specialists for granted, learn how the best wastewater collection and treatment personnel in the world display their skills at Operations Challenge.
In the competition, teams compete to earn the highest score in five different events. Each team includes four members and often a coach as well. Each event is designed to test the diverse skills required for the operation and maintenance of water resource recovery facilities, collection systems, and laboratories. The five events are collections systems, laboratory, process control, maintenance and safety. Winners are determined by a weighted points system.
Congratulations to the 32 Teams who competed in the 34th Operations Challenge at WEFTEC 2021. Division winners were:
- Division 1: Controlled Chaos from the Water Environment Association of South Carolina
- Division 2: Technicians from the Chesapeake Water Environment Association
