Conference Program

Welcome to Texas WaterTM 2021 - Virtual! We regret that we can’t extend Austin’s hospitality to each of you in person this year, but we bid you a giant virtual welcome to Austin for this year’s Texas WaterTM 2021 annual conference and exhibition event—the largest water-related conference event held in North America on a statewide or regional basis and now the largest virtual event of its kind. Texas Water, which is proudly sponsored by both the Texas American Water Works Association (TAWWA) and the Water Environment Association of Texas (WEAT), is widely recognized as being the premier water and wastewater-related conference held annually in Texas. In order to ensure you maximize your conference experience, we encourage all attendees to participate in as many of the “live” events as possible, and to fully participate in the technical sessions and to recognize the numerous individuals who have taken the time to offer their presentations in a digital format. Check out our exhibit hall and use the time to reconnect with friends, even if it can’t be in person. We wish you health, safety, and a great conference experience!

TEXAS WATER 2021 - VIRTUAL WELCOMES SPECIAL GUESTS Texas Water Welcomes AWWA President Melissa Elliott, president of the American Water Works Association, will represent AWWA at Texas WaterTM 2021 - Virtual. Elliott will provide comments during the Virtual Opening Session at 11 a.m. Monday, March 29. Elliott’s career is focused on helping water and wastewater utilities tell their stories. She is the Director of Strategic Communication Services at Raftelis where she consults with utilities to provide communication planning, stakeholder engagement and risk communications. Prior to joining Raftelis, Elliott directed public relations departments at two large Colorado utilities—Denver Water and Aurora Water. All that utility experience means she’s worked with the public on issues as diverse as drought, water quality, potable reuse, affordability, rate structure change, massive infrastructure projects, and customer assistance programs. Being AWWA President has given Elliott a new avenue to elevate the conversation about the value of the services utilities provide. As a public relations practitioner working in the highly technical water industry, Elliott makes it her mission to push those around her to stop being so humble about the essential work we do. She says if we want others to understand our challenges, we need to build relationships with the people and communities we serve and talk about the value we provide. When she’s not working with utilities, Elliott makes her home in Denver where she enjoys cooking for friends, planning future travel adventures and spending time in the Colorado sunshine with her husband.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS VIRTUAL TOURS

AVAILABLE ON-DEMAND Enjoy our virtual tours, available on-demand for you to view at your convenience. Access the Virtual Tours in the Virtual Conference by going to On Demand Events and clicking on the Tours link from the dropdown menu. South Austin Regional WWTP: Please join Austin Water for a virtual tour of its South Austin Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Built in 1984, South Austin Regional (SAR) is one of three wastewater treatment facilities in the City of Austin and has the capacity to treat up to 75 MGDs. Other large wastewater facilities include the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management Plant. Austin Water has invested over 45 million dollars over the last four years on improvements to update the air distribution system and convert aging sand filter galleries into a state-of-the-art cloth disk filter complex. Staff will walk you through the plant virtually, giving you a behind the scenes look at the facility and operations. This walkthrough will highlight new equipment, technologies, recent upgrades, as well as some of the future challenges for the plant. After the virtual tour, staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate an exciting discussion about the operations and maintenance of the SAR Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Combating Zebra Mussels: Zebra mussels were first discovered in the US in the Great Lakes in the late 1980s. Since then, this invasive species has spread across the country and made its way into our Highland Lakes in 2017. Zebra mussels negatively impact ecosystems in many ways, and they are here to stay. They filter out algae that native species need for food, attach to and incapacitate native mussels, and wreak havoc on underwater infrastructure. Water utilities have spent millions of dollars to remove zebra mussels from clogged water intakes. In this virtual tour, learn how Austin Water has worked to combat this pest at our facilities. We will discuss the use of divers for inspections and cleanings, the multi-phase approach to implementing the chemical feed systems, and some of the challenges that were overcome along the way. You will get a first-hand look at the equipment at our facilities and gain insight into the ongoing efforts needed to mitigate this destructive mollusk. Thanks to our sponsors!

VIRTUAL GAME We’re incredibly excited to bring the classic Texas Water door prize game to our virtual experience. This promises to be a fun and exciting way to interact with the virtual conference. Check out the Game Prize tab in the Virtual Conference to see the full listing of available door prizes. You’ll need to earn points across the virtual platform to gain entries into the prize drawing. The virtual game will open at noon on Monday, March 29 and end at noon on Thursday, April 1. There are three ways to earn points in the Virtual Event: EXHIBITOR PASSPORT STAMPS Each virtual booth has an “Earn Games Points” button beneath the booth - clicking it will earn you points. The amount differs based on the Exhibitor’s level of sponsorship, as follows: • • • • • • •

Diamond PLUS sponsor: 80 points Diamond Sponsor: 60 points Platinum Sponsor: 50 points Gold Sponsor: 40 points Silver Sponsor: 30 points Bronze Sponsor: 20 points Non-sponsor Exhibitor: 10 points

Go here for a list of Texas Water 2021 - Virtual Sponsors. WATER DROP SCAVENGER HUNT On different pages in the Virtual Conference, you may see a picture of a water drop conspicuously placed on your screen. Clicking on that water drop image will earn you 50 points. The image may be on different pages at different times through the conference. ACTIVE PARTICIPANT BONUSES We’ll be giving bonus points for certain Exhibitor Engagement Activities. Check the Virtual Game instructions in the Virtual Conference Game Room when it goes live for additional details. THE DRAWING 100 POINTS = 1 PRIZE DRAWING ENTRY. Note: the system only allows you to accumulate points for an individual engagement once. You can accumulate points with multiple exhibitors and water drops on different pages, but don’t keep clicking the same icon or picture over and over, thinking you’re running up your point total. Put simply, the first click is the only time you get the points for that engagement. Door prizes will be drawn the week of April 5, and we will reach out to confirm the winners’ shipping addresses. THE FINE PRINT Only paid, registered attendees for Texas WaterTM 2021 - Virtual are eligible to participate in the drawing. Other participants, including exhibitor booth staff, are not allowed. An individual entrant may only win one prize during the drawing. Don’t worry, we’ll draw for the highest value items first. This is for fun. Texas Water can make no guarantee that there will not be systemic or technological issues with the platform that may influence or interfere with the game. We do promise to do everything we can to make it as fair as possible. Again, this is for fun. Leaderboard may not reflect accurate point totals as points for some activities may need to be adjusted based on administrative backend reports.

TEXAS WATERTM 2021 - VIRTUAL

Texas WaterTM 2021 - Virtual Scholarship Golf Tournament February 1, 2021 – April 15, 2021

Help raise funds for scholarships to assist students with families in the water and wastewater industry. All profits from the Virtual Texas Water Golf Tournament go toward the scholarship programs. This year our mission is to keep all players safe by following safety precautions but still enjoy a round of golf and continue our mission to assist students with scholarships. We are changing our format this year to accommodate every golfer playing as a single, a group of two, three or foursome. Your golf event will be held at a golf course in your community. Your group will complete the registration form below and independently pick a course and submit your scorecard and picture of yourself or group to Texas Water before the March 15 deadline to be displayed on the Texas Water virtual site during the conference. Otherwise, the deadline for submitting the picture is April 15. Since we cannot be together to enjoy the game of golf, we are still offering opportunities to assist with fundraising by offering four levels of Scholarship Sponsorships as listed below. In addition, there are mulligans for purchase and the forward tee to be used at the team’s discretion on any Par 5. Your generosity is sincerely appreciated by all and let’s enjoy our golfing event.
