EDITOR’S

NOTE

You Can’t Be Too Safe he story in my local newspaper recently could only be labeled as tragic. A fatality at a work site occurred near my home. A backhoe operator off to the side of a busy road was clearing trash when he was hit by a truck. The truck flipped on its side, bursting into flames and causing a scene better suited for an action movie instead of a daily commute. The backhoe operator died, while the truck driver was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Such a tragedy. Reports show the driver of the truck most likely never used his brakes. There were no skid marks on the road to indicate the truck was slowing when it collided right into the backhoe. As June is National Safety Month, perhaps you think this is the part where I begin listing all of the errors made by the backhoe operator and his crew. Maybe you think I’m going to say there were no warnings of “workers up ahead” or they didn’t mark off their job site area. Perhaps you’re thinking they were working in weather or a time of day when the visibility of drivers on the road was impacted. Sadly, you’d be wrong. The crew appeared to have done its job. Their site area was marked off. There was a sign indicating it was working beside the road. The accident happened during a clear, sunny day. Like I said, you struggle to come up with anything other than “tragic.” So instead of trying to make sense of it, I think we should try to take something from it. The accident clearly shows me one thing: You can’t be too careful.

Obviously, you can’t control others, but you can control what you and your crew do every time you leave the office and head to a job site. So regardless of how long you’ve been in the industry, don’t coast through your company’s safety meetings. And don’t let your crew drift off during daily tailgate talks. Discuss. Learn from each other. Make adjustments. You can always get better and you can always get safer. Never take shortcuts. If a piece of equipment can be moved or the site adjusted to enhance the safety of you and your crew, do it. It’s not an argument that doing so will take time or is probably unnecessary. Always mark your job site properly. If you’re in an area rarely frequented, so what? Still mark it. It only takes one person not paying attention to cause a tragedy. One final example from the accident near my house: Along with warning signs indicating his presence, a properly marked job site, and a beautifully clear day, the backhoe operator was working behind a guardrail. Can there be any question he thought he was heading home that night? Make sure the story about you and your crew features the word “safe” and not “tragedy.”

Adjusting Testing Procedures Hello Gary, Your article “Well Inspection Contracts” (April 2013) about well inspections and reports was good and I read it with great interest before giving it to my wife who also carefully read it. We have had to adjust our well testing procedures this past year. The old days of calling a friend who is a realtor about a well we had experience with,

stopping by the well to get a current static level, and making a quick phone call to the realtor to say the well is fine are gone. We took three beatings a little more than one year ago. We then sat down with our pros in our office and hashed out the much more expensive but comprehensive knock-down, drag-out way we have of doing our well testing/ reporting now. Getting sucked down the black liability hole of promising future performance for a water system is one of the difficulties of business these days. The other one is disclosure. We had to build a Well Test E-WOA (work order agreement) that gets sent out to anyone who thinks they need a well test inspection. The viciousness of buyers and sellers these days is such that any verbal conversation anyone has in our little company with a buyer or seller, their realtor, or any interested party gets summarized into an e-mail and sent to every party in the transaction. It takes a huge amount

of time and organization, but the businesses that don’t get their act together with some version of paperwork like this are going to get eaten alive. We have also for the past year been sending out Service Call E-WOAs to almost everyone who wants repair work done. When we first developed this, we had a local plumber who’s been in business here for 30 years read over the document. He shook his head and told us that there was no way anyone would ever agree to it. But we’ve had only three potential clients not agree to it and we already knew we didn’t want to work with them anyway. This new way of taking care of business has been 100%. Thank you again for your article. Good stuff! Joel Hellwege, HS Justice Water Systems Inc. Pagosa Springs, Colorado

IN THIS

ISSUE

he June 2013 issue of Water Well Journal contains our annual buyers guide as well as timely articles as June is National Safety Month. Here is more of what is on the pages ahead.

The 2013 Water Well Journal Buyers Guide begins on page 45. Viewing is essential if you are in the market for new equipment or tools. The guide is divided into four sections. The first is an index of products and services. It’s followed by a directory of manufacturers, a directory of suppliers and manufacturer representatives, and a listing of trade names and their manufacturers. The index features a detailed list of products and services used in the industry. The directories feature equipment descriptions and complete contact information, making it easier when it’s time to make that next purchase. The important safety topic of tire maintenance is the subject of the cover story by freelance writer Jennifer Strawn. In “Where the Rubber Meets the Road” on page 23, she points out how tire selection, care, and maintenance are key to preventing costly accidents and keeping you and your crew safe on the road. She goes over basic tire maintenance; doing visual inspections of your tires; proper tire inflation, tire alignment, balancing and rotation; how to select the right tires for your vehicles; and knowing when they need replaced. She also details what to do Jennifer Strawn when you have a tire blowout on the road. Knowing what to do can be the key between bringing a vehicle to a safe stop and having a costly rollover accident. Safety is the subject of a new column debuting in Water Well Journal this month titled “On Site.” It will be authored by Victor Rotonda, who has more than 25 years of geotechnical and environmental drilling experience. On Site will focus on issues relating to the drilling job site and the first installment on page 32 is titled “Let’s Talk Safety.” In it, Rotonda, who works for Geoprobe Systems in Toms River, New Jersey, asks “Are we doing Victor Rotonda everything we can to make the work site safer?” and “What can we do that prepares us for tomorrow, knowing safety will remain the number one issue in our industry?” One of the things that can be done is to have a work system where the job site is organized and tools are laid out based on consistency, organization, and planning. The monthly installment of Safety Matters goes over the pesky—and timely—problem of exposure to summer insects with “Taking the Sting Out of Insect Exposure” on page 34. Columnist Jack Glass, MS, CIH, says one may not think insects are a critical problem, but well over 5000 cases leading to 243 deaths from the Jack Glass, MS, CIH West Nile virus were recorded by the Centers for Disease Control last year and it is not unreasonable to think 2013 could see a greater total. Glass goes over problems involving mosquitos, bees, wasps, and ticks. He also lays out the importance of a prevention and protection plan. 12/ June 2013 Water Well Journal

The column, ACT Like a Sales Pro by Julie Hansen, emphasizes how asking the right questions at the right time can impact you closing sales with customers. In “Building Customer Rapport with Questions . . . Quickly!” on page 36, Hansen says feeling rushed by time and focusing on sales results can block our ability to develop a good rapport with a cusJulie Hansen tomer. This is a mistake as buying decisions are heavily influenced by emotions and rapport allows emotions to develop in an atmosphere of trust. Hansen then goes over the importance of asking good rapport-building questions and provides five tips that will help you quickly establish a rapport with your customers. In a Water Well Personalities profile titled “Gone Diving” on page 29, Senior Editor Mike Price writes about KC Water Filtration & Purification, a unique pump and filtration company in Lago Vista, Texas. Kelly Clark combines his love for diving in the pump and filtration business that he created in 1999. Both Kelly and his wife, Cristy, are certified divers and install Mike Price lake water retrieval pump and filtration systems for residential and commercial customers within a 200-mile radius. Business is split between residential and irrigation. No one else in the area offers the services KC Water Filtration & Purification provide. Kelly estimates he dives four to six hours a week and says nearly 80% of business stems from customer referrals. Safety is first priority on job sites. The terrain is unforgiving, especially with lake levels dropping. Kelly wears a light and knife on each dive. Lots of lost fishing and trot lines and rope are in the lake. He also has to watch out for water moccasins. His crew includes his wife, nephew, and two employees.

INDUSTRY

NEWSLINE

Construction Figures Result in Mixed Impact on First-Quarter GDP The Associated General Contractors of America’s Data DIGest reports: Real (net of inflation) gross domestic product (GDP) increased 2.5% at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter of 2013, after growing 0.4% in the prior quarter, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported on April 24. Real private investment in nonresidential structures (including wells and mines) slipped 0.3%, after jumping 17% in the fourth quarter of 2012. Real residential investment climbed 13%, following an 18% gain. Real government investment in structures shrank for the 10th consecutive quarter, at a 5.6% rate, following a 2.6% decline. The price index for private nonresidential structures posted a 1.5% increase at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, similar to the previous quarter’s 1.4% rise. The price index for residential investment acceler-

ated to 5.2% from 3% as strong demand from single- and multifamily builders pushed up prices for homebuilding materials. The price index for government investment rose at a 2.3% rate, up from 1.7%. A quarterly survey of 58 corporate economists that the National Association for Business Economics released on April 22 found “business activity advanced at its strongest pace in a year during the first quarter of 2013. Expectations for capital spending on structures (among 38 respondents to this question) also strengthened compared to three months earlier, with more panelists expecting their firms to increase spending (26% vs. 19% in January) and fewer expecting their firms to cut spending (8% vs. 12% in January).” Housing starts in March jumped 7% at a seasonally adjusted annual rate from the February level and 47% from a year ago, the Census Bureau reported on April 16. Housing start statistics are important

to the water well industry as they can indicate possible construction of new water well systems. Multifamily starts (five units or more) soared 27% for the month and 82% year-over-year, while single-family starts slid 4.8% for the month but climbed 29% from the March 2012 level. Building permits, an indicator of near-term future starts, fell 3.9% for the month but rose 17% year-over-year. Permits for 5+ unit multifamily starts slumped 8.1% in March and inched up 0.7% from a year ago. Single-family permits dipped 0.5% in March but leaped 28% over 12 months.

ronmental Protection Agency submitted the notice after years of fruitless efforts to get the state to document its spending under the program,” said Jared Blumenfeld, who is regional administrator for the agency. The program is administered on behalf of the EPA by the California Department of Public Health, using funds allocated by the U.S. Congress. Typically the money is used by cities, counties, and other local agencies to improve drinking water treatment systems, usually to remove harmful chemicals or seek a cleaner supply. “We certainly hear from communities that they need the money and they are not being able to access it,” Blumenfeld says. “The facts speak for themselves. The money is not going out the door as quickly as it should be.” Blumenfeld says the problem is not unique to California, but the scope of the problem is far larger in California than elsewhere. As an example, he noted the second largest similar problem exists in Texas, which sits on $310 million in funds.”

Geothermal Energy Expected to More Than Double by 2030 Bloomberg New Energy Finance reports geothermal energy capacity will more than double by 2030 as developing economies including Chile, Indonesia, and Kenya take advantage of natural resources. Global capacity is estimated to reach 28.3 gigawatts in 62 markets in 2030, compared with 11.4 gigawatts in 25 markets last year, said Mark Taylor, a New Energy Finance analyst, on April 12 at the U.S. and International Geothermal Energy Finance Forum in New York. “Geothermal is being seen as a development tool now, not just a niche market,” Taylor said. “It can be used as a driver of economic growth.” The story reports capacity in Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economy, is estimated to more than triple to 5.6 gigawatts and account for 20% of output, becoming the world’s largest market. It ranked third in 2012 at 1.3 gigawatts. The U.S. was the largest market in 2012 with about 3 gigawatts, approxi-

New Report Shows Minnesota’s Big Increase in Groundwater Pumping A new Freshwater Society Report in Minnesota estimates total reported groundwater pumping increased by about 2.8 billion gallons per year from 1988 through 2011, according to the Echo Press in Alexandria, Minnesota, which adds up to a 31% increase over that period. By comparison, the article said the state’s population increased 24% in the same period. Agricultural irrigation, the secondbiggest use of groundwater and the fastest-growing use by far, increased an estimated 73% during those years. Pumping by city water systems, the biggest single use, increased an estimated 33%. Pumping by industries that rely on their own wells, rather than public water supplies, declined.

Construction Unemployment in April Dropped to Lowest Mark in Five Years The unemployment rate for construction workers fell to the lowest April level in five years as contractors added more than 150,000 employees in the past year despite an April dip in employment, according to an analysis of new government data by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials note that, despite the monthly drop, the industry is likely to continue adding jobs for much of 2013. Seasonally adjusted construction employment of 5.79 million in April was 6000 less than in March but 154,000, or 2.7%, higher than in April 2012. Residential building and specialty trade contractors added 13,300 workers in the month and 83,700 (4.1%) over 12 months. Nonresidential building and specialty trade contractors, along with heavy and civil engineering construction firms, lost 19,700 employees in April, but added 70,100 (2%) over 12 months. Architectural and engineering services employment climbed by 2700 in the month and 23,400 (1.8%) from a year earlier.

Interior Department Releases Progress Report on National Water Census U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar released a report April 3 to Congress on the progress of the National Water Census, which is being developed at the U.S. Geological Survey to help the nation address its critical water needs. NGWA, through member David Kreamer, professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, was part of the group advising USGS on development of the water census. NGWA Director of Science and Technology Bill Alley, Ph.D., was one of the authors of the report. As competition for water grows—for 16/ June 2013 Water Well Journal

irrigation of crops, for use by cities and communities, for energy production, and for the environment—the need for the National Water Census and related information and tools to aid water resource managers also grows. The water census will assist water and resource managers in understanding and quantifying water supply and demand, and will support more sustainable management of water resources. The report released describes the “water budget” approach being taken to assess water availability for the nation. Water budgets account for the inputs to, the outputs from, and changes in the amount of water in the various components of the water cycle. They are the hydrologic equivalent of the deposits to, withdrawals from, and changes in the balance in a checking account and provide the hydrologic foundation for analysis of water availability. USGS is initially focusing production of the National Water Census on areas with significant competition for water availability and existing or emerging conflicts over water supply, such as the Delaware, Colorado, and Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basins. Increasing populations, more volatile stream flows, energy development and municipal demands, and the uncertain effects of a changing climate amplify the need for an improved understanding of water use and water availability in these crucial watersheds. The water census (like the national population census) is an ongoing effort that will provide information for current and future decision makers. USGS will continually be updating it, adding to it, and improving the accuracy of the various water budget components. The report, Progress Toward Establishing a National Assessment of Water Availability and Use, is available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/circular/1384.

Grundfos Installs HighPerformance Water Pumps at Royals’ Baseball Stadium Behind the scenes at Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals, newly installed Grundfos pumps power the stadium’s signature fountains while they are dramatically reducing energy consumption.

Named the “Official Pump and Pump Systems Provider for the Kansas City Royals” in 2012, Grundfos supplied the stadium with 18 state-of-the-art pumps that together save the Royals between $50,000 and $65,000 in energy costs each year. Thirteen of the pumps are used to run the water displays, pumping more than 1000 gallons of water per minute up to 125 feet into the air. The pumps are connected with the sound effects, lighting, and fireworks to provide fans with a multi-sensory experience. Five additional Grundfos SP pumps each move 800 gallons of treated water to heights of 60 feet to create a stunning waterfall effect. The Grundfos pumps are made of stainless steel to prevent rusting and ensure low maintenance and reliable power. Variable frequency drives allow the pumps to use only the optimum amount of energy.

Sonic Drilling Finds 80 Million-Year-Old Fern Leaf

Drillers from Vancouver-based Sonic Drilling Ltd. were amazed to discover a fossilized fern leaf in a recent core sample taken on a project in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. The company had been contracted to drill to 160 feet, provide core samples, and assist with soil penetration testing every 5 feet. “The drillers just arbitrarily picked up a piece of the core sample and found the leaf inside,” says Bill Fitzgerald, general manager of Sonic Drilling. “It was pretty exciting to see something that old.” The engineer on site estimated the leaf to be about 80 million years old. It was cored at 160 feet below the surface and imbedded in coal. Sonic drill rigs are often used on projects like this due to their ability to provide undisturbed, continuous core samples to 300 feet and beyond. waterwelljournal.com

Where the Rubber Meets the Road

Proper tire care and maintenance keeps your rig on the road and your drivers safe.

our tires are the only thing between your vehicle and the road, yet regular tire maintenance is often neglected. “It’s not uncommon, especially in this economy, to cut corners on tire maintenance. Many companies only check their tires annually,” says Roger E. Renner, MGWC, president of E.H. Renner and Sons Inc. in Elk River, Minnesota. “Even worse—for some, tire maintenance means are the tires black? Yes. Are they round? Yes. That’s it.” Tire selection, care, and maintenance are the key to preventing costly accidents and keeping you safe on the road.

Basic tire maintenance

Regularly inspecting your tires is a simple way to prevent tire failures. “We have drivers do a daily inspection,” says Joe Neri, president of Allstar Drilling and Probing LLC in Morganville, New Jersey. “It only takes a minute to walk around and inspect your truck on a regular basis.” Jennifer Strawn was the associate editor of Water Well Journal from 2004 to 2007. She is currently in the internal communications department at Nationwide Insurance in Columbus, Ohio. She can be reached at strawnj2 @gmail.com.

By Jennifer Strawn

“Loose lug nuts and cracked rims could cause the wheel to come off the truck.” Inspections include a visual inspection of the tires and also a tire pressure check.

Visual inspection

Bergerson Caswell Inc. in Maple Plains, Minnesota, is another company that inspects tires daily before leaving for the job site. “We have our guys check the lug nuts each day for signs of looseness,” says Dave Eisinger, equipment manager for Bergerson Caswell. “We also check for cracked rims. Loose lug nuts and cracked rims could cause the wheel to come off the truck.” Also check the tires for scuffs, cuts, cracks, or other damage to the sidewall of the tire. After all, a small cut in a fully inflated tire becomes a large cut in an under-inflated tire. Damage to the sidewall typically occurs when a tire encounters a roadway hazard like a curb, a bolt, or a piece of metal. Sharp rocks and broken tree roots are off-road hazards that can also cause damage. “We’ve had guys drive back from the job site with a rock pushed up between

the duals,” Eisinger says. “It doesn’t take too long with a rock jammed up there to cause damage to the sidewall to the point the tire can’t be reused.” That’s why Eisinger also insists his employees thoroughly inspect between the duals where debris from the job site can get trapped. Eisinger also checks between the tire treads for cracks and signs of degradation at least once a week. Cuts in the treads are rarely obvious, he says, and are an indication the tire needs replaced.

Tire inflation

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, underinflated tires are a leading cause of tire failure. In a 2012 study, NHTSA found that vehicles with under-inflated tires are three times more likely to be involved in a crash related to tire problems. Under-inflated tires are more prone to blowouts, which could cause costly— and deadly—accidents. A tire that’s not properly inflated generates heat that leads to sidewall failure. The general recommendation for passenger cars is monthly, but the air pressure in your company’s trucks should be checked more frequently. Eisinger says he checks the tires on all of the trucks weekly at the minimum. Jim Wright, compliance manager for National

TIRES/continues on page 24 Water Well Journal June 2013 23/

The proper method of rotating tires on rear and four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive vehicles.

Important information can be found on your tires.

TIRES/from page 23 Exploration, Wells and Pumps in Shawnee, Kansas, highly recommends doing daily checks. Tires can naturally lose up to one pound per square inch of pressure each month, especially in cold weather. For every 10°F change, 1 psi could be lost or gained in inflation, and tire pressure can change up to 10 psi during a trip as the tires warm up. That’s why Wright says you should check the air pressure daily, and as a part of load inspection if you’re hauling hazardous materials. Check the tires when they’re cold before you start out for the day and check them again after you’ve been on the road for a while, such as when you stop for lunch. If your vehicle is parked outside, be aware that the tires on the sunny side may read a few pounds higher than the tires that are shaded. This is particularly the case with dual tires. The inside tire will often read a few pounds less than the outside tire. Never deflate the “sunny side” tires to match the tires in the shade. They will equalize as you drive the vehicle. You should also always check the tires with a gauge. You can’t always tell if pressure is low just by looking at the tire, and by the time the tire looks low it could be under-inflated by as much as 50%. Tires should be inflated to the vehicle’s recommended pressure found in the owner’s manual, on a printed label inside the frame of the driver’s side door, or in the glove box. Checking the air pressure on your tires regularly doesn’t just ensure the tire is at the correct pressure, it also gives you an indication as to whether the tire needs repaired or replaced. “It gives you a history of the tire,” Eisinger says. “It will tell you if you have a tire that is continually losing pressure. That would probably mean there’s a leak somewhere.” There’s a bonus to keeping your tires inflated. Tires that are under-inflated can cost you as much as 3.3% more in fuel costs than a properly inflated tire.

Tire alignment, balancing, and rotation

As a part of caring for your tires, you should make sure they’re aligned properly, rebalanced annually, and rotated 24/ June 2013 Water Well Journal

every 6000 to 8000 miles, Wright says. Caring for your tires correctly can extend the life of the tire. Renner warns that, unlike passenger cars, tires on pump trucks and rigs should never be rotated from front to back because the tires on the steering axle are different than rear tires. Dual tires can be rotated, though. Eisinger swaps the inner tires with the outer tires to give the tires more even wear. “For some reason the inside tire wears faster than the outside tire, so rotating them can reduce tread wear,” he says.

When to replace your tires

If you can see the tread wear indicator, it’s time to replace the tire. All tires have these tread indicators molded into the tire at a specific depth. While people for years stuck pennies in the treads of their car treads to check wear, vehicles that require a commercial driver’s license are set to a higher standard. Depth checkers and gauges are required for any operation to assure tires are at an appropriate depth. Front tires should have at least 4/32inch tread and the rear should have at least 2/32-inch tread. Tires on pump and drill rigs may need replaced long before the tread wears low. These trucks often have less mileage, but warm temperatures and off-road conditions can degrade the tires. Renner says heat and age can cause checkering or cracking. Eisinger says they replace the tires on their heavier trucks at least every eight years as recommended by the company’s tire dealer. Wright recommends the tires on the steering axle should be replaced every five years, or every three years if you live in a warm climate or if you do a lot of off-road work. The Department of Transportation will place your rig out of service if any of the tires have: ● Noticeable flats or leaks

This rig blew a tire on a highway and rolled over in a median ditch.

Additionally, your rig could be placed out of service if a tire is labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;not for highway use,â&#x20AC;? if the tires exceed the load limit, or if any part of the tire comes in contact with any part of the vehicle, including its tire mate on duals. For the steering axles, the same rules apply, plus your rig could be placed out of service if the tires have:

If a tire needs to be repaired, always send it away to have a qualified professional work on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a tire went flat from driving, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inflate it in our shop,â&#x20AC;? Eisinger says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll send it right out to the tire shop because the tires today are built so well you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been any damage to it. It may have interior sidewall damage that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see.â&#x20AC;?

Tire selection

Follow the equipment manufacturer and tire dealerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations when selecting new tires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work closely with a tire professional who understands what we do, how much we carry, and how our trucks are loaded,â&#x20AC;? Neri says. The load the truck carries is important because overloading tires creates damage to the tread and the sidewall.

“The truck manufacturer provides recommendations for tire selection, but it probably didn’t know you were going to add compressors, welders, fuel tanks, winches, and masts,” Wright says. “That’s where a tire dealer can help you determine the right fit.” It’s important to know what tires you have on your trucks in case you’re stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire. “You may be hundreds of miles from the shop and need to call the tow truck,” Renner says. “You’ll want to make sure the new tire matches the old tire exactly. The left tire should always match the right tire in manufacturer type and in every way possible.”

What to do when your tire blows out Proper tire maintenance can help you prevent a blowout, but it’s important to know what to do if your tire has one. “Tire blowouts happen so darn fast,” Renner says. “If you’re driving an 80,000-pound drill rig with a carousel of drill rods on it, you’re doing everything you can to keep the rig on your side of the road and prevent it from rolling over.” When your tire blows out, the first instinct is to slam on the brakes, but that’s the wrong strategy. “During a front tire blowout, significant downforce is placed on the front of the vehicle. This causes the vehicle to pull hard in the direction of the blown tire,” Wright says. “Lifting up on the accelerator will put additional downforce forward. If you immediately brake, that too will put force forward and probably cause a loss of control.”

By slightly accelerating for a few seconds, the force is taken off the front of the vehicle, making it a bit easier to control, Wright adds. After a very brief acceleration and the vehicle is under control, the driver should slow down with very slight braking, pull off the road, and secure the vehicle. According to the NHTSA, only about 5% of crashes are due to tire-related incidents, but for water well contractors, tire-related accidents have costly—and very often deadly— consequences. So, although it’s tempting to cut corners on tire maintenance, it’s worth a little extra time and money to keep everyone on the roadways just a little safer. Neglecting your tires could put your company at risk, your rig at risk, and your employees at risk by leading to blowouts that could total your rig and injure the rig’s driver or other drivers on the road. “Front tire blowouts are a killer,” Renner says. “If the rig doesn’t veer into oncoming traffic and kill someone, it will kill the driver when the rig rolls over. “Saving lives and the future of your company could be as simple as inspecting your tires before you leave the shop in the morning.” WWJ

Gone Diving Kelly Clark combines love for diving in pump and filtration business. t’s mid-March, and Kelly Clark is checking e-mail with an eye on the weather radar. Four inches of rain is expected to the south and west of where he lives and works in Lago Vista, Texas. His office is on the north shore of Lake Travis, 20 miles northwest of Austin. The ongoing drought has taken its toll on Lake Travis and others in the chain of lakes known as the Texas Highland Lakes. Lake Travis was 50 feet low in March, one of its lowest points in years. “We’re waiting on the lake to come back up,” says an upbeat Kelly, owner of KC Water Filtration & Purification, a pump and filtration company that he created in 1999. Kelly’s wife, Cristy, faithfully works alongside him.

“Hopefully the drought doesn’t scare off a lot of people,” she says before reasoning, “we can always install storage tanks if necessary.” KC Water Filtration & Purification isn’t your typical pump and filtration business. Kelly and Cristy are both certified divers and install lake water retrieval pump and filtration systems for residential and commercial customers within a 200-mile radius. Business is split between residential and irrigation. “Being outside is the best,” Cristy says, “and seeing the end result, whether we’re doing a pump on a new build or water feature.” No one else in the area offers the services KC Water Filtration & Purification provide. Kelly estimates he dives four to six hours a week and says nearly 80% of business stems from customer referrals. They install pumps from groundwater industry name brands Franklin Electric Co. Inc. and Grundfos, which they receive from their local distributor, Preferred Pump & Equipment LP. “Having Preferred Pump local is a plus because we have access to products immediately,” says Kelly, who began

(Top right) Kelly and Cristy enjoy working outdoors, making this the ideal profession for them. working in the water filtration business in 1987. “We also use local distributors for our water softeners and related equipment from Charger Water and Alamo Water.” Working underwater presents unique challenges, namely “the phone doesn’t work down there,” Kelly says. He returns from a dive to six to eight missed calls, voicemails, and text messages. In talking with Kelly, he received three texts just within the last 20 minutes. He prides himself on returning every customer call, even if he’s on vacation. His cellphone battery gets a mean workout.

Kelly and his crew head out for a dive under the hot Texas sun.

“I worked hard for 10 years to get the phone to ring,” he says in his mild southern twang before musing, “now I sometimes wish it would stop, but just temporarily, not completely.” Kelly became a certified diver at a young age. His father was a dive instructor and search and rescue diver for the Dallas Fire Department. Rule of thumb when diving: You never dive alone, so as the only son, Kelly got certified whether he wanted to or not. He took a strong liking to it while accompanying his father on all sorts of diving trips, including ones to the Caribbean. Kelly passed his love for diving on to his 15-year-old-son and nephew, both of whom are certified. Energetic beyond his years, Kelly points to his grandfather who passed away two years ago as a major influence on his life. Kelly dreamed of playing professional soccer in the United States or Europe. It wasn’t in his future, but he still follows the game today and plays competitively for a team in San Antonio. “My grandfather said when the soccer dream didn’t pan out, find a niche,” the 47-year-old says, “and when you find it, run with it. That’s what we did when we found the diving and lake pump opportunity; it’s been good to us.” Like many things in life, this niche opportunity was unexpected. Just before leaving his water filtration job in September 1999, Kelly was asked by one of his customers if it was possible to install a pump in the lake. The home builder was building a waterfront house. “I said I don’t know, I’ve never done it, but I’m a master diver and don’t know why I couldn’t,” he recalls. Kelly researched and talked with different well drillers and discovered at the time the stainless steel Grundfos pump could work; the majority of pumps today are stainless steel. Through trial and error he designed the system. The home owner’s neighbor then called and asked for a pump to be installed. The calls and business took off from there, leading to pump installations in marinas on Lake Travis. 30/ June 2013 Water Well Journal

All in a day’s work, Kelly tends to a constant pressure controller.

A multimillion-dollar subdivision across from the lake is owned by billionaire Billy Joe “Red” McCombs. There is a water loop that runs through each home’s property where the owner ties into it for irrigation. That loop is fed by a pump Kelly’s crew put in the lake, which provides 250 gpm at 60 psi. On the north shore of Lake Travis, Carol and David Nelson have depended on KC Water Filtration & Purification for at least 10 years. “While we understand that Kelly is a busy guy, he has never failed to answer a phone message and come to our aid whenever we ask,” Carol says. “He and Cristy provide a quality of service that is not common these days and we will be loyal customers for many years to come.”

Part of Kelly’s business includes tackling “crazy little jobs,” like looking for a women’s diamond wedding ring she threw into Lake Austin or recovering a set of golf clubs in Lake Travis. The diamond ring, which undoubtedly was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, was never found. The golf clubs, which were knocked over by a boat on the walkway, were recovered. Amidst it all Kelly enjoys running into customers in public. “When you’re out and you see people and they’re like, ‘Hey, this is our water guy, this is the guy who does our pump work’ instead of ‘Oh, there’s the pump guy,’” he says. “We have a good relationship with 95 percent of our customers. “My daughter is 11 and she always waterwelljournal.com

dive. Lots of lost fishing and trot lines and rope are in the lake. He also has to watch out for water moccasins. His crew includes his wife, nephew, and two employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get the occasional scrapes, poison ivy, or sunburn, but we watch out for each other and are prepared to make changes in a job if safety of the crew is compromised,â&#x20AC;? he says, stressing the importance of hydration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been doing this for so long now that we know what the other one is doing, what the next step is, and have everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back.â&#x20AC;?

Kelly is the type who has never met a stranger, never sits still for too long. The fast-paced work and life environment matches his tendency to talk and think fast. Providing a neat, clean, and safe work environment drives him. In her soft-spoken tone, Cristy jokes that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borderline obsessive compulsive about the way he works, both in the office and at the job site. The man canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand clutter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just in installing the filtration part alone, the leveling of the pipe, no plumber glue running down the pipe, no trash,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look at it and the customer is like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe you just did that!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Safety is first priority on job sites. The terrain is unforgiving, especially with the lake levels dropping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always comment that Kelly and the guys are part mountain goat to work on the lake walls as steep as they are,â&#x20AC;? says Cristy, 45.

Between gymnastics and soccer, Kelly and Cristy stay busy taking care of their four children. Their plan is to one day sell the business or have their nephew run it. They dream of moving to South America, possibly Quenta-Sol, Brazil. Kelly and Cristyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for diving is only matched by their love for fishing. But Kelly is open to the possibility of working again once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in South America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we can make a living fishing,â&#x20AC;?

His columns will focus on issues relating to the drilling job site. WWJ Editor Thad Plumley

Let’s Talk Safety With a safe work system in place, your crew has the opportunity to work safely every day.

et’s talk safety. We’ve heard those words many times in the drilling industry—and rightfully so. Like it or not, we’re in a tough and potentially dangerous business. But let’s talk about safety from a slightly different perspective. Let’s talk safety from the aspect of what we can do to make the workplace safe as compared to just following regulations. Are we doing everything we can to make the work site safer? We are all thankful that safety has become a major part of the drilling industry. Walk into any drilling company shop and you’ll see the word “SAFETY” everywhere. A short time ago this wasn’t the case and many old ways of doing things are no longer acceptable today. Additional regulations have been put into effect to correct and amend some procedures from the past. I think most would agree that safety training is a must, as is following proper procedures. We are all obligated to participate in the many important and mandatory training and refresher courses that keep us eligible to work. They help raise our awareness level about safety. Like most training courses,

Set up a work system you and your work crew will be familiar with. This alone makes your project site safer. though, you take away from them what you put into them. So let me restate the question. What can we do that prepares us for tomorrow, knowing safety will remain the number one issue in our industry? When we leave the classroom or tailgate health and safety meeting, how do we keep safety in the forefront of our activity? We can’t allow ourselves to walk away from those tailgate meetings, add our signature to a daily sign-in form, and say, “I’m glad that meeting’s over, now let’s get to work!” Is there something we can do today that will make us safer and better prepared to work in our industry? I think there is.

A Choreographed Production I’ve had the good fortune to visit many project sites around the country. And I’ve observed a wide variety of techniques, methods, and styles in which people work. You should take the time to watch a seasoned crew work on a drill site. Trust me, they will get your attention. Every step is calculated. Not a movement is wasted. It’s like watching a well-choreographed production.

They are skilled and efficient operators and crew members who don’t appear to be rushed. They always seem in complete control. It’s almost like they’re communicating telepathically. If you follow them from location to location, you will notice they tend to set up the same way every time. It’s not a coincidence that these very productive crews are also regarded as safer crews. That didn’t happen overnight. What makes them stand apart? The way they are doing things is critical for our industry and we should take notice. They have a “work system” in place that works! One part of their work system is having a specific tools layout in place based on consistency, organization, and planning—all with the goal of getting the job done safely. Seldom can you arrive at a successful project completion unless you have such a work system in place. These well-oiled operators and crew members get your attention because they appear to work flawlessly. According to some consultants I’ve asked, these are the crews that are in demand because “they know how to work safely.”

A Safe Work System When I conduct training on a tooling system for operators today, I can teach all the intricate details of that system. I can show how Part A fits onto Part B, and so on and so forth. I can put tools in the ground and demonstrate how to make adjustments to that tooling system waterwelljournal.com

when advancing through the different subsurface conditions. But the most important thing I need to communicate is how critical it is to set up a safe work system! I share how I set up a work site that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed over the years. And I invite them, if they want, to adopt it. Augering requires a different tooling layout than dual tube work. Soil sampling requires a different tooling layout than rock coring. I encourage operators to set up something that they are comfortable with. Individual work layouts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be complicated. Start with something simple, such as placing your drop rack of tools or sawhorses in the same proximity to the machine each time you set up your work space. Simply from day-to-day usage, a tooling system will almost by itself create a set-up procedure. Continue to follow it each time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical to develop some form of a repeatable work layout. Our job sites and work environment will always be changing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nature of our business. So to gain control of this, set up a work system you and your work crew will be familiar with. This alone makes your project site safer for everyone. Now that a work system is in place, you and your crew members have the opportunity to discuss and make improvements as you work together. You will be amazed at all the small adjustments you will quickly make, and how your work plan will systematically eliminate potential hazards. What is it they say? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The road to progress is always under construction.â&#x20AC;? This process is the critical, conscious activity of refining safety on the site. With a work system in place every day you work, you have the opportunity to make tomorrow safer. WWJ

Taking the Sting Out of Insect Exposure Know the risks and steps to take when exposed to summer insects. ith the winter months long behind us and the warming sun calling us outside, it is easy to forget every season has its own host of dangers and exposures we must be aware of. We put away our thermal coveralls, hats, and gloves months ago. But now we need to prepare ourselves for such summer pleasures as insects, reptiles, rodents, sunburn, heat illness, and the flying shrapnel from someone’s lawnmower. Let’s take this opportunity to talk about one of the smaller, but more irritating of these issues—the insects. Insects are vital to our ecological health and are responsible for everything from digestion of waste material and removal of other pests to pollinating our gardens and orchards. Obviously it is not possible to eliminate exposure to all insects (nor would it be wise), but we can take steps to lower our risk of adverse interactions with them.

Mosquitoes Many parts of the country experienced a wet, yet only moderately cold winter. These conditions provided a Jack Glass is the principal consultant for J Tyler Scientific Co. and has more than 20 years of experience as an environmental health consultant. He has consulted on toxic exposures, risk management, and indoor air quality. In addition, he has provided litigation support in several areas including mold, asbestos, indoor air quality, and confined space entry.

Last year, 5387 cases leading to 243 deaths from the West Nile virus were recorded by the Centers for Disease Control. continuous feasible habitat for mosquito larvae through the winter months as the absence of a long, deep freeze did not produce the typical reduction in mosquito larvae. In other words, we can anticipate a buggy summer. This does not simply indicate the expected itching we’ve all experienced from mosquito bites. It also predicts an increase in the number of many mosquitoborne diseases. Last year, 5387 cases leading to 243 deaths from the West Nile virus were recorded by the Centers for Disease Control. It is not unreasonable to anticipate an even greater toll this year. While this might seem alarming, consider that seasonal flu leads to tens of thousands of deaths every year. And, like the flu, serious reactions to West Nile virus tend to occur in people with pre-existing conditions or an immune deficiency. This is not to say we should ignore the threat of West Nile virus, but simply keep it in perspective. Last year, emergency rooms were burdened by many patients who were afraid they contracted West Nile virus because they were bit by a mosquito. This diverted scarce resources from severely ill and injured patients in order to address the concerns brought on by an exaggerated fear of infection.

Another impact of an exaggerated fear of infection has been the widespread use of insecticides, which has altered the ecological balance of many ecosystems. This impact has the ability to lead to many other environmental concerns and damage. Dengue fever is another disease that is spread through mosquito bites and has been on the rise across the globe. To date, dengue fever has not developed into an epidemic in the United States, but all 48 contiguous states have had multiple cases that were brought home from international travel. Prior to 1981, there was virtually no dengue fever in any of the Americas. But between 1981 and 2003, much of South America and all of Central America were added to the number of countries that were plagued with this disease. On a positive note, once contracted, neither West Nile virus nor dengue fever has been known to be transmitted from person to person. With current medical care facilities throughout the United States, its spread should be relatively contained. While malaria is a mosquito transmitted disease that has serious implications, it is not known to be normally transmitted anywhere in the United States. There are about 1500 cases treated annually in this country, and all are associated with travel to tropical destinations.

Bees and Wasps Nearly all of us may have experienced the sting of an angry yellow jacket and many of us may have been unfortunate waterwelljournal.com

enough to have disturbed an active nest, leading to hundreds of stings. The effect of these events varies wildly. Some people may simply experience the discomfort of the sting followed by a bit of itching, while others may have severe and rapid reactions leading up to and including death. It is important to know where you are on this spectrum. If you are an individual with allergic tendencies or known allergic reaction to bees and wasps, you should never be without a bee sting kit, including an EpiPen or other medication provided by your physician. Even with this medication, you should take the greatest precautions to avoid contact with flying insects.

Ticks Many years ago, the only disease we associated with the tick was Rocky Mountain spotted fever. However, in recent years this concern has been eclipsed by an enormous number of cases of Lyme disease, Q fever, and babesiosis. These diseases are found throughout the United States, and many regions have seen significant increases. Reducing your probability of getting one of these diseases is quite simple by conducting a thorough examination of your skin on a daily basis. Ticks that are attached to the body for less than 24 hours have not had time to release the pathogen to affect a relatively healthy human being. However, spotting the tick can be difficult since many, especially the deer tick, may be as small as the head of a pin and are difficult to find.

Prevention and Protection The best way to reduce your risk from any of the adverse effects discussed is to not get bitten. We can do this by always wearing long pants and a long sleeved shirt and a cap when walking through wooded areas or spending extended periods in grassy areas. You should also select light colored clothing so the dark insects are easy to identify and remove by hand. Wash and dry clothes on a high setting to kill any lingering insects. The application of insect repellants that contain 20% to 50% DEET is prudent when done according to the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directions. Permethrin can be used on clothing, but not on skin. In Twitter @WaterWellJournl

fact, once applied to clothing, permethrin can last through several washings. There are an unlimited number of local homespun remedies that have been advertised for decades. While some people swear by them, others find no benefit at all. Treatments such as covering your body with olive oil, garlic or onion scent, banana oil, dryer sheets, mouthwash, or any other local remedy is unlikely to do much harmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;unless you find yourself on a crowded bus. While there is no mandate to provide insect repellants, sunscreens, or other consumer-based products to employees,

it is a wise investment to do so. Especially consider this when you weigh the low price to the possible large costs of lost days, sick leave, and lowered productivity from even a single infection. WWJ

Building Customer Rapport with Questions . . . Quickly! Thoughtful questions can help establish a rapport with a potential customer. hile rapport is something we do almost instinctively in many areas of our lives, in business it can be sadly lacking. The increased time pressure and focus on results associated with selling a product or service can overtake our natural ability to develop rapport. Why should we care? Because buying decisions are heavily influenced by emotions and rapport allows emotions to develop in a trusted atmosphere. Rapport is even more important as the number of choices your customer has continues to increase. Without rapport you are unlikely to convince a customer to open up about their needs, and even unlikelier still to get the sale. It’s critical in sales to be able to build rapport quickly, but we typically don’t have the luxury of weeks or months to establish a solid foundation for a relationship—and if you’ve ever worked a booth at a trade show you know how true that statement is! But all is not lost. It simply means we have to be more strategic about our rapport-building efforts and not leave this crucial step to chance. The easiest way to build rapport with someone is simply to ask questions. Every decent salesperson knows this. Unfortunately, many sellers jump right in asking the same tired, old questions everyone else does, hoping something

“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”

eventually clicks with the prospect. The result? The prospect usually just clicks off. As motivational speaker and selfhelp author Tony Robbins puts it, “Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” Better questions don’t happen by accident.

Rapport-Building Questions vs. Rapport-Killing Questions Asking good, insightful questions requires some planning and research. Don’t shortchange this step because while questions are the quickest way to build rapport, they can also be the quickest way to kill it. Ask a personal question too soon, and you’ll put off the less-forthcoming prospect. But beat around the bush, and you’ll try the patience of a busy one. You have to earn the right to ask a question that may be perceived as personal. Therefore, it’s critical you go in prepared with a questioning plan and a few opening questions that give your prospect confidence in your integrity, value, and trustworthiness. Here are some guidelines for asking questions that will lead to thoughtful answers, move the sale forward, and help you more quickly establish rapport with your customers.

1. Don’t Ask Questions When You Should Already Know the Answers Try to avoid asking general questions that require your prospect to explain their home, business, or industry to you—when you could easily research that information in advance. Put the shoe on the other foot and imagine for a moment having to answer the same routine questions every time you interacted with a salesperson. No wonder customers grow impatient!

2. Ask Clarifying Questions Clarifying questions are those which clearly demonstrate you know something about your customer, while helping you gain more insight into the challenges they may be facing. These are questions developed from knowledge you have already acquired, either through research or reference, and they help you tailor your line of questioning as well as show you have taken the time to learn a little bit about your prospect and their situation. For example, “I see that you’ve been in your home now almost seven years. Have you ever had your well tested in that time?”

3. Ask Open-Ended Questions Questions that start with words such as who, where, what, when, how, and why require someone to answer with more than a simple “yes” or “no” and can provide you with more helpful information and move the conversation forward. It takes some planning to come up with these types of questions. So you waterwelljournal.com

need to set aside some time to do just that. It will more than pay off. For example, “What did you like about working with your last supplier?”

4. Ask Hypothetical Questions Questions that begin with “What if . . . ” or “Suppose that . . . ” allow you to test the water, so to speak, with ideas the prospect may otherwise feel uncomfortable answering. Again, these types of questions take some planning ahead of time. For example, “Suppose that I could show you how easy it is to have safer and better tasting water?”

5. Rephrase Their Answer into a Question Questions that reflect back to the prospect’s answers not only validate their opinion and acknowledge you heard them, they will also quickly indicate whether you understood them correctly and give them a chance to clarify. This can be an effective use of questions, but be careful not to overuse it as it can seem “technique-y.” Save it for important points or when you’d really like them to expand on a particular issue. For example, “What I hear you saying is you are concerned about the potential maintenance costs. Is that correct?” Asking good, thoughtful questions and really listening to the answers given will help you establish an authentic rapport as well as target the appropriate solution for each customer. Take the time to plan, practice, and use these rapport-building questions with a new prospect or to build a stronger relationship with your existing customers. WWJ

Customers Have Needs and Likes Just as We Do We need to think of ourselves as a customer. ince the 1990s when the “the service profit chain” and the “balanced scorecard” were introduced and became common business tools, we have had 30 years to see businesses adapt to the changing needs and wants of their customers. Sadly this has not been as common in the industrial distribution world, nor has it been a particularly successful attempt. There have been books by the hundreds written about customer service, yet we seem to be going the wrong way. Recently I saw a study that said, “Customer service in America is so bad it sucks; it has gotten to the point that customers have stopped complaining.” Yet we have definitive statistics—not just intuition—that proves that customer service pays. Harvard University conducted a massive study on business in the 1990s and found that if you increased your customer retention by 5% you would increase your profitability by 45%. So what gives? I believe it might be as simple as this. It’s not the leadership that has to execute and deliver customer service, but it’s the front-line employees. You know them, right? They are the people who have been working harder

A study on business found that if you increased your customer retention by 5% you would increase your profitability by 45%. than ever before. Due in part to the lousy job market, they are in some cases overworked because you haven’t hired additional staff. And the workers in the market today are not feeling good. They are nervous, stressed, and some are even afraid for their jobs. Scared people don’t perform well, and the world in which we live is a distressed one. We have strong political and philosophical differences on strategies. We have a huge intellectual argument going on between two competing approaches to economics (Keynes vs. Hayek). We have the turmoil in Europe that started with Iceland more than 10 years ago. And I could go on. The world contributes to the stress of everyone. So how is it we expect the employees to provide outstanding customer service? Management is a privilege and a huge responsibility. The responsibility is to make sure our employees are safe and secure in their work. We also must operate effectively and efficiently, provide sufficient capital to see to it we have all the tools, and continue to train our employees so they are equipped to provide the customer service that our customers expect.

MBNA, a credit card company that was purchased by Bank of America in the 1990s, had one common theme: “Think of yourself as a customer.” They had this on carpets in every hallway and had it over doors and entrances. It was everywhere. Think about the credit card business. MBNA had thousands of customers and hundreds of competitors. And they made small amounts of money on transactions, although they had hundreds of thousands of transactions. So their question was similar to yours. How do you stick out and make a name for yourself? In my opinion, it is strictly through customer service. MBNA became so successful at customer service that they retained more than 98% of their customers! So how about you? What is your customer retention? Do you know? Increasing customer retention is a whole lot more difficult than writing about it. You see, it comes down to your employees—the people I call “your heroes”—and how they treat your customers. To make this work, it helps if we know what our customers need and what they like. Thankfully there are plenty of customer surveys that list these needs and likes.

Customer Needs This is the hard side of the work. These are the items of significance. The customer might not choose to work with you if one or more of these items are not present. waterwelljournal.com

• They need reinforcement that they are getting a good deal. • They need to feel they made the right choice. • They don’t want to feel taken advantage of in the deal. • They need you to show them respect. • They need your help. • They need to trust you. • They need to know they are getting high quality. • They need you to be able to perform. • They need you to respond promptly. • They need you to have a sense of urgency.

• They don’t like mistakes. As with the list of needs, I am sure you can understand each of these likes. Again, they are the same things you like as a consumer. And this should be a subject of discussion with your front-line personnel. I believe everyone has to understand what it is we are trying to do before they can accept that they should do something. But I also believe once they understand and accept we should do something, they will then be committed to doing it.

It is only through your leadership that you can get people to do what they know intuitively they should do, and that is to serve our customers. I also believe that you don’t manage people, you cannot make things happen. You manage process—you lead people. I know you care about your customers and I know your employees do too. I think it is time to resensitize everyone to the needs and likes of our customers. Don’t you? The time is now. WWJ

I can’t say I see anything there that surprises me. Do you? In fact, I think they’re just the same as we are when we buy something. So we need to do something. Let’s sit down with the front-line personnel and review this list and discuss it with them. Talk about specific customer examples and get them to tell stories of when they were able to delight customers. This is a terrific forum for all parties—your employees and you will better understand each other and the job at hand. This is something I believe we should do regularly, perhaps even weekly. It is like a toolbox safety meeting where you discuss issues of significance at the moment.

Customer Likes Then we come to the softer side of the relationship. These are the things the customer notices and allows you to stand out. • They like things to be as easy as possible. • They like a history of your reliability and your reputation. • They like predictability. • They like you to be flexible and responsive to their needs. • They like your help in reducing their costs. • They like to know you can supply everything they need—a one-stop shop. • They like you to understand their situation and help them. • They like you to go to bat for them. • They like you to know your products and services.

A Messy Shop You can often find lots and lots of inventory in small well and pump businesses.

ummer is upon us once again. Here we go into another three to four months of consistently long working days, listening to those few employees who complain how overworked and underpaid they are, and that routine service call you get each year from the farmer who can’t seem to understand how to keep his pump running in hot weather. Even with the added work and headaches that accompany the busy season, most of us in the water well industry agree we would not change places with anyone else. As I continue to age—hasn’t anyone come up with a cure for that yet?—and time continues to take me further away from the remembrances of the day-today life of an active “well and pump guy,” I realize just how much those days meant, still mean, and how easy it is to take something in life for granted. I often think I would be willing to jump at the opportunity to trade whatever luxury I seem to think I possess for sloshing around in mud each day and having the satisfaction of finishing a new pump installation and being able to step back and look at something I built with my hands and mind. Ah, that’s what it’s really all about. Never has this feeling taken command over me as much as during a recent event I experienced while working on a remote project site.

40/ June 2013 Water Well Journal

Heading to a Testing Job Although I am not nearly as involved in the daily execution of well and pump work as I once was, the opportunity to work in the field still presents itself to my firm and myself on occasion. A recent incident occurred when my son, Adam, and I traveled to eastern Oregon to conduct field testing and reconnaissance on three wells for a small city we’ll call “Wellville” experiencing problems with excessive levels of arsenic. As you know, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2006 reduced the allowable arsenic levels in drinking water from the former regulated standard of 50 parts per billion down to 10 parts per billion. And while this created opportunities for many of us in the water well industry, it also created hardships for various public water systems that had been providing water for years with arsenic levels between 10-50 ppb and were previously exempt from needing treatment. In Oregon there are several water systems using wells that were producing water with arsenic levels in this range for many years, only to discover they were now in dire need of engineering assistance and water treatment. Conducting a field pumping test and water quality analysis on water from three city wells in order to figure out the actual arsenic levels and the most effective method of treatment was to be the initial element of our engineering study when we left for our five-hour drive. Upon arrival in Wellville, Adam and I began to set up our test gear, only to discover we were lacking an important component, a 3-inch pipe coupling to

conduct the test. Since Wellville had no motels, plumbing shops, or even a hardware store, we decided to drive to “Pipetown,” a larger city 60 miles away to spend the night and hopefully find our missing link. When we arrived in Pipetown, we noticed a True Value hardware store. I thought the chances of finding a 3-inch steel pipe coupling in such a remote town was small, but we ventured in the store anyway and my hunch was right. I asked the clerk if he knew any place that could stock the part and his response directed us towards the local “well and pump shop.” As many of you know, although many rural small cities and towns don’t have a movie theater, shopping mall, or five-star restaurant, you can often find a local “well and pump guy.” This is particularly true in areas where many of the local farmers and irrigators depend on access to rapid service and parts. We left the hardware store and drove to the pump shop. Upon entering the ordinary looking building, we immediately encountered a friendly gentleman and his wife—a true Mom and Pop operation—as well as a large open room filled with submersible, turbine, and jet pumps and pump parts of every type and description.

An Accumulation of Hard Work Parts were literally lying and hanging everywhere. They were on the floor, hanging on the walls, and filling the shelves of too many parts racks to describe. There was even an old partially assembled Franklin control box hanging out of the open door of their wall safe. waterwelljournal.com

I was totally in awe. The “mess” was obviously the accumulation of years and years of hard work from numerous productive service calls and not so productive installations. In one sweep of the eyes you could see rolls of pump packing, sheet gasket material, Square D and Furnas pressure switches, irrigation gaskets, and control boxes of every vintage and size—and this was just in the front office! The real inventory was contained in the adjacent shop behind a closed door. In an instant the memories from my career flashed before my eyes. Suddenly images of the shops of every place I worked were in front of me. After regaining my composure, I explained my needs to the pump guy, convinced that the single part we needed had to be in the mess somewhere. The pump guy retreated to his shop, while Adam and I continued to survey the impressive accumulation of many years of pump work. He returned about 10 minutes later with the disappointing news he did not have a 3-inch steel pipe coupling, but had a 3-inch conduit coupling. Although a conduit coupling does not possess the same types of thread pattern as a water pipe coupling, I felt for our purposes it would work and we purchased the part. Although it leaked under high pressure, the coupling fulfilled our testing needs and we were soon after heading home, job complete.

Here’s to All Out There So, what about this messy pump shop? Have I left you with the impression that I am insulting the local pump guy? I sure hope not. You can cite OSHA rules and the need for a safe and uncluttered working environment and I am for all of that. But this is the water well and pump business, after all. From my experience, messy shops are the rule, not the exception, and especially with smaller firms. Who among us has not brought that weird, obsolete but still usable part off a vintage Myers rod pump, one of those green plastic impellers from an ancient Montgomery Ward jet pump, or a control box from an old Reda submersible pump back to the shop from a call,

convinced we will find a place to reuse it somewhere someday. And even though some people would regard us as hoarders, we rarely use those parts again somewhere someday. This column is meant as a tribute— not an insult—to all of the well and pump guys out there. This is for those operating a single drill rig or pump hoist, heeding the Sunday service call from the dairy farm on a freezing night to keep water flowing to the cows. As I stood and surveyed the inventory of that pump shop, it occurred to me there had to be a column in this

VOSS

scene. I asked the wife if she and her husband read Water Well Journal and I received a positive response. After I explained my intent, I was met with their surprised approval. So Mom and Pop, congratulations! Here it is in print just as I promised. Please accept this tribute from me to you in the spirit I intended. Your messy shop has given so much more than a simple inventory to be proud of. Until next month, work safe and smart. WWJ

A Strong Relationship Know all of the benefits of relationship banking when you choose where to put your money. s you might imagine, your bank would like you to keep as big a chunk of your cash with them as you’re willing to deposit. And in order to convince you their bank is the best place to keep your money, most big banks and some of the smaller regional banks have come up with special programs to court customers who are willing to show their loyalty. Some banks may have a different name for their effort, but the most popular name these days is “relationship banking.” Whatever your bank calls it, it will be to your advantage to be aware of what it involves. When it comes to banks, it’s all about money. Convincing you to commit as much of your money as possible to their safekeeping is what a bank considers a good relationship—thus, “relationship banking.”

Royal Treatment What it all means is if you’re willing to commit a sizeable chunk of your money to one bank, you can expect to receive the kind of royal treatment not available to everyone who opens a modest savings or checking account. Most of the country’s largest banks are offering attractive perks to customers who declare their loyalty by maintaining thousands of dollars in combinations of checking, savings, and investment accounts. Bill Lynott is a management consultant, author, and lecturer who writes on business and financial topics for a number of publications. His book, Money: How to Make the Most of What You’ve Got, is available through any bookstore. You can reach him at wlynott@ cs.com or through his Web site: www.blynott. com.

Among those benefits are such things as lower banking fees, higher interest rates on deposits, lower interest rates on loans and credit card balances, and special attention when you need help from customer service. Why all this romancing of privileged customers? Simply, because a customer who keeps lots of money in various types of accounts in the same bank is a profitable customer, while the customer who opens only a modest checking or savings account is likely to be a money loser instead of a money maker. Here is what a couple of major banks offer to their relationship customers. In what it calls the PMA Package, Wells Fargo offers higher interest rates on some deposit and CD accounts, lower interest rates on loans and credit lines, up to 100 commission-free trades annually through a self-directed investment account, and extra benefits for Wells Fargo Visa credit card holders, including purchase protection coverage. To qualify for the PMA Package, a customer must have $25,000 in qualifying deposit accounts or $50,000 in qualifying deposit and brokerage accounts. (PMA stands for Portfolio Management Account.) Another major player, Bank of America calls its program Platinum Privileges. To qualify, a customer must have an active personal checking account plus $50,000 in combined deposit accounts and Merrill Edge brokerage accounts. Among the Platinum Privileges are higher interest rates on money market accounts, CDs, and IRAs; home loan discounts; lower rates on home equity loans; plus 30 commission-free online stock trades per month with a selfdirected Merrill Edge account. Other major banks and many smaller ones offer similar programs to what they

feel are their relationship customers. In most cases, you’ll need to keep at least $25,000 in a relationship account to qualify. Depending on the bank involved, you may get a dedicated phone number for customer service help, and lower or no fees on such services as money orders, cashier’s checks, and wire transfers. Some banks offer breaks for relationship customers who take out a mortgage loan, such as discounts off closing accounts or lower interest rates on a first mortgage loan.

Shopping Around Of course, not every banking customer is in love with the idea of being tied to one bank for all or most of their banking needs. With easy access to the Internet for shopping around for the best deals, some customers feel it makes more sense to shop for the top yields on their savings rather than depending on one bank to treat them right. In truth, even the deals on relationship packages offered by the biggest banks often don’t measure up to the best yields offered by many online banks, or even by credit unions and smaller local banks. For many people, the personal interaction of working with a local bank or credit union is more important than obtaining the highest possible return on their deposit accounts. Credit unions in particular are rapidly gaining new members as they relax their membership requirements while offering highly competitive rates on deposits and loans. Of course, what may be the best deals are available to those willing to deal with an online bank vs. a more familiar brick and mortar institution. For example, online Ally Bank offers a free waterwelljournal.com

checking account with no minimum balance, interest rates as high as 0.75% depending on the size of the account, and nofee ATM transactions with reimbursements for other banks’ ATM fees. Obviously, you have a wide range of choices when it comes to deciding where to park your money. Some perks will be more important to you than others, so you will want to shop around for the deal best suited to your needs. As long as the bank you choose is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), or in the case of credit unions the National Credit Union Administration, your money will be safe up to the maximum insured coverage.

Women in Leadership Positions Share Common Experiences. By Jennifer Michel ore and more women are holding leadership positions in associations and companies around the world and making their marks in industries traditionally led by men. And the NGWA affiliate state associations are no exception. Among the numerous women in these positions are Katie Renner-Welle, president of the Minnesota Water Well Association; Twyla Moline, secretary of the California Groundwater Association; and Margaret Gresham, vice president of the Washington State Ground Water Association. Three different women in three different state associations, but they share many common influences, obstacles, and aspirations.

Family Influences Family is a big influence across the groundwater industry, with children growing up around their family drilling business and gaining an appreciation and passion for the industry from an early age. Katie Renner-Welle is a fifth generation driller and four of the five generations work at the family company, E.H. Renner & Sons Inc. in Elk River, Minnesota. Her father, Ray, took her to work with him so he could spend more time with her, and she learned a great deal. Her great grandfather, grandfather, father, and uncle all served as president of the Minnesota Water Well Association before her. “I grew up being a helper on the service crew, backhoe crew, and someJennifer Michel is the member services specialist for the National Ground Water Association. She can be reached at jmichel@ngwa.org.

“I have noticed the more successful women in life are the busier ones.” times the well rig,” Renner-Welle says. Renner-Welle plans on following in her grandfather’s footsteps and serving on the board twice, but his example is not the only thing that has motivated her. “My grandfather pushed me into this business with his doubt on my ability,” she says. Later, upon her college graduation and entrance Katie Renner-Welle into the workforce, her grandfather made sure she knew how proud he was of her. Her grandmother, Kitty Renner, was also involved in the industry with her regular column in Water Well Journal, “Over the Coffee Cup.” The series ran in the 1960s and was written for the women of the industry and highlighted the activities of the NWWA Auxiliary. Twyla Moline, of A & S Pump Service in Clovis, California, was also influenced by her family. She grew up on a farm as the youngest of nine children with seven brothers. Her father owned a sawmill, which Twyla Moline was operated by the family. She helped with all of the farm chores, such as raising chickens, milking cows, and even with the logging at the sawmill. She credits her father with her love for the outdoors and working hard. Moline also used her strong work ethic to obtain an associate’s degree and a paralegal degree upon graduating from high

school. Her education—both inside and outside the classroom—gave her the perfect background to be a leader in the groundwater industry. “Be flexible and be available,” Moline answers simply when asked how she is able to juggle the tasks she faces each day with staying hands-on in her own business, at the state level, and making time for a personal life. “Go for it. Work hard and remember to take time to play hard as well,” she adds. Margaret Gresham’s beginnings in the industry differ, as she was self-educated. She did not grow up around water well drillers, but later learned how to drive a service truck, be a pump hoist helper, a Margaret Gresham driller’s helper, bookkeeper, sales rep, geology researcher, and many other skills necessary in the business. She was born and raised in the Bay Area of California, but relocated to Washington after marrying her high school sweetheart, whose family had experience in the construction industry. She and her husband started a small well drilling business in the late 1970s, which later expanded into a successful family-owned company, Gresham Pump & Drilling Inc. in Poulsbo, Washington. Their son, Chad, has recently taken over to make the company one that is multigenerational. Gresham became involved in her state association after a fellow driller invited her along to a state show. She enjoyed the camaraderie she experienced with others in the business who were working towards the same educational goals for those in the industry and the public.

“I was volunteered to help with classes presented by our association, and this grew into education seminars and convention planning,” she says.

Unique Challenges All three women have faced unique challenges in their respective positions, but they have reaped the rewards that come with hard work and dedication. Renner-Welle finds it rewarding to be able to participate in education days for kids and to be a voice for the industry in her state. “We have fought pipelines, cities trying to restrict well drilling, and every year is another battle,” she says. Gresham and her association have also worked with their state politicians, and introduced a pump installer specialty category as a bill, designed to identify and protect the industry. “Our trade is very specialized but yet we are regulated heavily,” she says. It took several years for the bill to pass through legislation and get approved, but it finally happened. “At our Day on the Hill (where industry professionals meet with state legislators) we have repeat attendees who have bonded with their representatives and senators. A mutual friendship and respect has grown over the years,” she adds. Moline says the most rewarding part for her has been to meet members of the association and industry in her state and learn from each of them. She enjoys pushing herself and her company to the limits and seeing what all they can accomplish. “While president on the local board, I was able to increase interest in our local members as well as the attendance and participation of members at the local meeting,” she says

Solinst Offers High Resolution Groundwater Profiling

The Solinst Model 660 Drive-Point Profiler is designed to be a minimal disturbance, preliminary site assessment tool. It enables the collection of groundwater samples from multiple discrete zones in a single drive/drilling location. This allows high-resolution sampling, contaminant vs. depth profiling, and detailed plume delineation. Contaminants in the subsurface are quickly detected, which helps determine the placement of long-term monitoring systems, such as a Model 403 CMT Multilevel System for further site characterization. The Profiler has a 1.75-inch-diameter AW stainless steel tip with one row of

screened inlet holes set circumferentially. Inlet holes lead to a single stainless steel fitting, where an LDPE or Teflon sample line connects and leads to a peristaltic pump at the surface. The Profiler is flushed with deionized water as it is advanced with a drill rig to eliminate clogging. A grout tip version is available for easy sealing of holes after sampling is complete.
