It will be a three pronged rotational event that will include a litter clean up, an interactive and educational booth portion, and a mural art project that will be a lasting testament to the event and its participants.

GUEST PROGRAM WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20 & THURSDAY, APRIL 21
Join us on an exciting tour of some of unique vacation destinations in Fort Worth. The two-day package includes continental breakfast, transportation, luncheon and entrance fees, as well as a ticket to the conference-wide event Thursday evening. The Guest Program costs $125 on or before March 28 and $135 after. Wednesday, April 20 For starters, we will convene for breakfast in the Sheraton Hotel. After getting acquainted, we will travel in a chartered bus to an exciting day starting with a tour of the Bureau of Engraving’s Fort Worth location (the Bureau of Engraving and Printing does stipulate that visitors, including children, are subject to security screening prior to entering the Tour and Visitor Center. Cell phones, electronic equipment, back packs, cameras, weapons – including knives, pellet guns, mace, etc. – explosives, food, and drinks are prohibited). It promises to be a fascinating look at the birthplace of billions of dollars. From the safety of an enclosed walkway, we will be able to see what takes place in the production floor. In addition, the Bureau of Engraving has produced a film, interactive exhibits and displays showcasing the exquisite art and fascinating history of currency. Also located in the visitor center is the Moneyfactory Gift Shop, where you can purchase souvenir items including uncut currency sheets and other specialty currency products. Lunch will be at Houlihan’s, an American-style restaurant to get “fueled up” for Texas Motor Speedway. Start your engines and bring your camera for numerous photo opportunities at the Texas Motor Speedway, where Pit Road, Luxury Suites, Gifts and Victory Lane are all part of the tour. Depending on weather and availability, there is the possibility of riding on the 1.5 mile track with its 24 degree-banked turns.

their 900hp cars on this track! Based on qualifying times in 2004, 2005 and 2006, it was once recognized as the fastest non-restrictor plate NASCAR track. Thursday, April 21
Thursday will be a tasty tour day! After breakfast, we will start the tour with the Schakolad Chocolate Factory class, where we will have a chance to make our own custom treats to take home! Afterwards, we will dine in luxury at Chef Jon Bonnell’s WATERS Bonnell’s Fine Coastal Cuisine. A widely recognized Texan, Chef Bonnell combines his heritage with his education (Vanderbilt University and the prestigious New England Culinary Institute). He has authored cookbooks and been featured on national morning news and food network shows. While the emphasis is on wild, seasonal, and sustainable seafood, the menu will satisfy every palate with game, beef, and vegetarian options. Finally, we will cap off the day with a tour of the American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum – listed as #22 of TripAdvisor’s top 129 things to do in Fort Worth! Among the permanent exhibits in the museum, we will see the Flightlab, History Wall, a rare Douglas DC-3 airliner and more. These exhibits range from detailed history to hands-on fun ending at the museum gift shop. The chartered private bus will deliver us back to where we started.

FRIDAY TOURS Attendees can add to their Texas Water experience by registering for a tour on Friday morning. Tour tickets are in addition to Conference registration and include transportation. Cost is $30 if purchased by March 28; $35 thereafter. A limited number of tickets may be available for purchase on-site. Choose one of the three tours that will leave from the Fort Worth Convention Center Friday morning:
Option 1: City of Fort Worth Rolling Hills Surface Water Treatment Plant Tour
We are offering a tour of a surface water treatment plant with a power twist as a bonus. The Rolling Hills Surface Water Treatment Plant is a conventional surface water treatment plant that utilizes ozone as a primary disinfectant. Originally constructed in 1972 with a treatment capacity of 80 MGD with dual-media filters as a seasonal operational treatment plant to supply the water needs of the Miller Brewery, Rolling Hills has expanded to treat 200 MGD with biologically-active filters. The tour participant will observe the blending of the old technology with the new technology in water treatment. The tour will range from the raw water intake at the plant to the discharge from the high service pump station. The “twist” to this tour is the presentation and visit to the Generation Station of the Tarrant Regional Water District. The same raw water that feeds the Rolling Hills Surface Water Treatment Plant can also be used to generate electricity. The hydroelectric plant can generate 1.36 Megawatts of electricity. The combined tours will last about two hours and will include a tour led by the Plant Engineer and a presentation by Jason Gehrig of Tarrant Regional Water District. It will be conducted outdoors, so bring adequate protection from the elements. The tour participant should wear comfortable shoes as it is a walking tour.
Option 2: MillerCoors Brewery Tour - Sold Out
We are also offering a tour of the MillerCoors Brewery. The brewery is located on the Southside of Fort Worth along I-35. The plant was originally built by the Carling Brewing Company in 1964 and later purchased by Miller Brewing in 1969. The brewery has expanded from an original annual capacity of 300,000 barrels to 9,000,000 barrels. The brewery is located on 155 acres with 51 acres under roof. It is the original home of Miller Lite. Incoming water from the City of Fort Worth is treated to become process water for the production of beer. The brewery returns approximately 63 percent of the water it uses back to the City of Fort Worth. The wastewater is primarily treated through an anaerobic digester. The system also captures and provides up to 20 percent of the natural gas needs of the brewery. A brief presentation regarding water and wastewater treatment will start the
tour and the tour will focus on the main processes of beer brewing and packaging. In addition, the brewery is a leader in the industry regarding sustainability. Since 2010, the brewery has reduced water consumption by more than 20 percent. Currently, the brewery uses 3.2 barrels of water to produce one barrel of beer. National average in the brewing industry is approximately 6.0 barrels/barrel. The tour will last about two hours and will be led by Lairy Johnson of MillerCoors, the Brewery’s Environmental and Sustainability Engineer. It will be conducted outdoors, so bring adequate protection from the elements. The tour participant should wear comfortable shoes as it is a walking tour.
Option 3: City of Fort Worth Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Tour
We are very excited to offer a tour of the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility (VCWRF) that is recognized by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies with the Platinum Award for complete and consistent TPDES permit compliance for the last 25 years. VCWRF has a rated capacity of 166 MGD with a 2-hour peak of 369 MGD. The plant uses conventional activated sludge treatment and a high rate clarification system during wet weather flow conditions capable of treating an additional 80 MGD. One of VCWRF’s goals is to become an energy neutral/net-zero facility and features several energy efficiency and production systems aimed at achieving that goal including gas turbine generators, heat recovery system, steam driven aeration blowers, high strength waste co-digestion and automated dissolved oxygen control. After the implementation of above facility improvements under the energy savings performance contract, the facility has reduced electrical consumption by an additional 39 percent, allowing VCWRF to meet up to 75 percent of its energy demand. WERF has recently recognized VCWRF with its Award for Excellence in Innovation during a celebration of WERF’s subscribers in WEFTEC at Chicago. The tour will last approximately two hours and will include a tour led by plant staff emphasizing major energy related systems. Tour will be conducted outdoors and closedtoe shoes are required.
