Message from the Chair
Reflect Back and Look Forward
Winter time, and especially the holiday season, has always been a time of
reflection of the past, and pondering of the future. This season is no different. I am sure it is the same for many of you, as we read the “year in reviews” and glimpse at the predictions that will occur for 2019 (especially those of the tabloids!).
For myself, it has been an honor to serve the Section over the first half of my tenure as Chair; I have had nothing but positive experiences. The new people I have met, others who I have got to know better, and those who I have had long standing relationships with have showed nothing but respect and support of what the Board of Trustees have been working on. This report serves as a short “half year out” of the progress that the Board of Trustees have conducted so far, and what we expect to see over the next six months.
One of the goals for this year was to bring home a balanced budget to be approved at the October Fall Trustee Meeting (on an accelerated schedule). I thank all of the committee chairs for submitting their budgets early this year. This enabled the formulation of a draft budget by the end of August, and the Board was able to examine the budget with plenty of time. We posted the draft budget along with an explanation of all the significant factors on our website three weeks prior to the fall meeting. We passed the 2019 budget at the Fall Trustee Meeting. In that, this goal has been accomplished.
Some highlights of the 2019 budget included reductions in expenses as well as an increase in conference fees. In all, about $25,000 in expenses were cut out of the budget. The Leadership Symposium will now be held in the fall,
and we made a modest increase to our annual conference fees, raising them to $400 (still a bargain when compared to other conference fees in the region).
Another goal was to organize our committees into divisions in order to better integrate educational opportunities. In October, the committee officer training at Coeur d’Alene started off by having trustees meeting with their committee officers by division. This gave the committee officers the chance to network more closely and seek those opportunities for combining trainings and events. It was successful in that many committee officers and their trustee liaisons mentioned that opportunities became apparent and they started planning around those opportunities. Going forward, our goal for the fall of 2020 is to combine the Subsection Meeting (Winter SAC) with committee officer training.
Another goal for the year was to increase involvement with AWWA on a national level. I am pleased that Mike Stuhr of the Portland Water Bureau is now Standards Council Chair for AWWA, which is a Board position and part of the Executive Committee of the Association. Kristin Kihs is now the incoming Chair of the Manufacturers and Consultants Committee (MAC) for the Association – this too is an AWWA Board and Executive Committee position. Lastly, we have Joan Kersnar who serves as our representative on the National Water Utilities Council. Combined with Past President, Brenda Lennox and two Association Directors (Kari Duncan and Marshall Thompson) we have a strong presence at the Association level for some time to come. At the Tri-WUC meeting in Vancouver we hosted Tommy Holmes, AWWA Legislative Director, and he noted that
the Pacific Northwest Section has a great influence with the Association. Thanks to those individuals who serve and represent our Section well at a national level.
As we move forward into the second half of my tenure as Chair, we will be putting some “meat on the bones” of the Section’s Business Plan. We will be looking at putting together clear communications plans for budgeting, and we hope to continue the momentum of building on the Strategic Plan that the Board formulated last year, and to help set the table for Incoming Chair James Dean.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Annual Spring Conference this coming May 1-3, 2019 in Vancouver, Washington. Registration opens on January 2, 2019. The Local Arrangements and Program Committees have been working hard in getting all of the logistics and training down. Again, special thanks to Cheryl Capron who continues to coordinate all of the technical sessions and getting the CEU’s in order – her efforts are much appreciated!
If you have not voted for our upcoming section officers, please go vote! It is electronic, easy to do, and you have until December 31. Please search your emails for the invitations that provide the link to vote, and if you cannot find it, please contact Kyle Kihs and he will re-send the invitation. All of the candidates are high quality and I wish them all the best of results.
As we end this year, I have nothing but best wishes for everyone this coming holiday season, and may you all have a Happy New Year. I look forward to 2019, and continuing to work with the amazing people of the Pacific Northwest Section!

Bearer of Good News
H appy Holidays! I trust that everyone has taken a moment to reflect on this year and are
setting plans for the year to come. Much is going on in our Section and the Association and there is a lot of good news to report.
WIFIA: Congratulations to the Willamette Water Supply Project for the recent qualification for a WIFIA loan totaling $617 Million, the largest award from WIFIA (Water Infrastructure Funding Act) to date! Seattle Public Utilities has also previously qualified for a WIFIA loan for a wastewater project. Bringing WIFIA to fruition has been a long term effort by AWWA and there are many key players to making this happen in the PNWS including Todd Heidgerken, Niki Iverson and United States Senator for Oregon Jeff Merkley are some of the key individuals who helped to make this new water infrastructure financing option a reality. It is fabulous to see some of our own utilities benefit from this Act, the savings to our rate-payers and our ability to rebuild infrastructure!
Governance Changes at AWWA: You may have heard about governance changes at the Association level that
place more day to day business items in the hands of the Executive Committee to allow the full 60 member Board the freedom and time to provide more strategic direction to the Association. In addition, changes to the nomination process for President and Vice President have been implemented, and the process is now similar to an application and interview process to narrow down the candidate pool in advance of the Board elections. The PNWS Board has also implemented several adjustments that reflect changes going on at the International level of AWWA.
Section and Association Councils and Division Structure: This year, the Section started organizing committees by division. Current divisions include Utility Operations, Water/Science, Public, Member Engagement, Governance and Philanthropy. Each division consists of committees and councils – and these divisions organize the budget. At the Association level of AWWA, the com-mittees are also split up into divisions called councils. The councils include the Technical Education Council (TEC), Standards Council, Public Affairs Coun-cil, Manufactures and Council (MAC) and Water Utility Council. Each council
includes committees or subdivisions that are complimentary to each other and can share some functions or work together to benefit common goals.
Annual Giving: As you move through the holiday season and consider options for annual giving please consider Water related charities. The Water Equation www.awwa.org/donate/about-the-water-equation.aspx of AWWA includes academic scholarships, the ‘One AWWA Operator Scholarship’, the Community Engineering Corps, and young professional and student programs. The PNWS Education and Training Fund www.pnws-awwa.org/store/donate is a scholarship fund that provides students local to our Section with scholarships for education in areas related to the water profession. You can donate to a named scholarship, such as the John Aho Scholarship Fund in memory of our well-loved member and active volunteer who recently passed, or to the E&T Fund in general to support the ongoing scholarship efforts. Water For People is well known to most in our Section and there are many events scheduled and opportunities to donate to this organization that funds water supply projects in third world countries www.sites.google.com/a/pnws-awwa.org/water-for-people. The Pacific Northwest Section will host their 2nd Annual Walla Walla For Water March 16, 2019 which will raise funds for all of these causes, and many other fundraisers occur in the PNWS throughout the year.
Thank you for your commitment to AWWA and to making a better world through better water! Enjoy the season and thank you for reading!

Message from the Executive Director
M y end of the year column is always bittersweet…looking back on the year and
seeing all that you, the members have accomplished, but at the same time looking forward to all that the New Year will bring to our Section!
This past year our Section committees were organized in a division structure with similar, like- minded committees. With this structure we saw an increase in partnering on training, which was extremely well received by our membership. Attendance at committee trainings
increased thanks to these and other great topics: Maintaining High Quality Water in Distribution Systems, 21st Century Filtration Advances and Challenges, Distribution System Resiliency and Drinking Water Taste and Odor Analysis and Treatment. Couple these with the numerous Subsection short schools and trainings and the PNWS had a stellar year providing educational opportunities to water professionals within our region. My appreciation goes out to all of you who had a part in producing these trainings; we couldn’t have done it without your enthusiasm and energy!
If you haven’t voted yet in our Section Election you have just a couple more weeks to do so. We have some fantastic candidates who have a long track record of volunteering to make this Section great.
AWWA Members have until Decem-ber 31 to vote in this year’s election.
The rtegistration for the 2019 Section Conference in Vancouver, Washington opens January 2. We have a great conference planned for you. Technical Session and Keynote Speaker information can be found on our website. I encourage everyone to register early – vendor’s booth selection is on a first come, first served basis and for all attendees conference
pricing increases on April 1. Register early and save your organization a few dollars!
Our Winter Subsection Officer Training and Trustee Meeting is just around the corner – February 20-22 at the Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, Washington. This is the one training a year for Subsection officers that we offer, and we encourage all Subsection leaders to attend. We will kick things off with a welcome reception and discussion with your state trustee’s, followed by a day of training on Thursday and the Section Board of Trustees meeting on Friday. The agenda’s and information can be found on our website – Subsection annual reports and committee reports are due on Friday, February 8.
On a personal note, as many of you know Kristin and I were married this past fall. We received such an outpouring of love and support from all of you. This Section is truly special and we greatly appreciate all of the friendships we have made over the last few years. We hope that all of you have the most wondrous of holidays with friends and family!

providers, and to engage in solutions. The legislative activities are closely coordinated with policies of the AWWA when applicable. Here is an update of what OWUC has accomplished over the past few months.
State LegislatureCyanotoxin ResponseFollowing the City of Salem’s cyanotoxin health advisory last May/June, legislative
interest in public water systems ability to respond to an emergency has been high. OWUC members have participated in several round table discussions with legislators about the need for funding for utilities to plan and prepare for these types of events. OWUC continues to stay engaged in emergency preparedness coordination in the State and anticipates legislature on the topic in the upcoming session.

Committee Reports
Storage Water Rights TransfersAs a result of the failed SB 1558 legislation, WRD took a close look at its transfer authorities and issued a memo that concluded that contrary to 90 years of department practice, WRD does not believe they have the authority to approve transfers of stored water. This conclusion caused immediate concern amongst OWUC members, particularly in light of the Willamette Basin Reallocation project which is based on the existing understanding of the statute that stored water can be transferred. OWUC engaged an attorney to provide a legal analysis of WRD’s new position. OWUC will work with the Willamette Basin Reallocation Committee and the Senator Dembrow Transfer Workgroup to further evaluate options. OWUC anticipates legislation on this topic in the upcoming session.
Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Budget Fee ProposalOHA put forward a legislative concept to the Governor’s Office requesting new fees for Drinking Water Services (DWS) based on public water system connections. OWUC is actively engaged in promoting an increase in funding for DWS but recommended general funds in lieu of new fees. Members feel this is a more sustainable and equitable solution in the long term. OWUC sent a letter together with the League of Oregon Cities (LOC) and the Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO) to the Governor’s office in support of more general fund dollars for DWS. OWUC remains committed along with other stakeholders like LOC and SDAO in continuing the budget discussion with OHA.
Rule MakingOHA Cyanotoxin Monitoring RulesFollowing the Cyanotoxin event in Salem, OHA developed temporary cyanotoxin monitoring rules, affecting approximately 100 public water systems. Raw water monitoring occurred every two weeks through October 31, 2018, showing detections in only one sub-basin, the North Santiam. OHA has since published
proposed permanent rules for cyanotoxins. OWUC has been heavily involved in reviewing and providing comments on both the temporary and permanent proposed rules.
Oregon Water Resources Depart-ment (OWRD) Division 86 RulesOWRD proposed modifications to the rules involving water loss definitions and water conservation and management plans for small water providers. OWUC provided in depth review and comments on these rules.
Committee BusinessWillamette Reallocation ProjectWork continues to re-allocate stored water in the Willamette Basin to serve the projected needs of the state. The project committee continues to advocate with stakeholders, agencies, and legislators for an appropriate reallocation for municipal and industrial need for a 50+ year planning period. The re-allocation is currently undergoing Endangered Species Act consultation with National Marine Fisheries Service, which should be complete in December 2018 or January 2019. USACE has received an extension
on the schedule to allow for the consultation to be completed.
Committee MeetingsIn September, OWUC held its monthly meeting in Bend. Several OWUC mem-bers from the Central Oregon region attended and provided updates and information on projects and issues facing the utilities in this region. Meetings continue on a monthly basis with most meetings occurring in the Salem/Keizer area during the legislative session.
Tri-WUC MeetingOWUC is hosting the section’s annual three state WUC or “Tri-WUC” meeting on November 16. Tommy Holmes will be the visiting AWWA staff member providing the national AWWA update, including information on recently passed S3021. We look forward to sharing information among our three states and preparing for what’s ahead on the legislative front.

ORWARN Committee
ORWARN 2018 Conference ORWARN sponsored a conference held September 17-19, 2018 at Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, Washington. The conference theme was, In the Wake of a Disaster: Continuity Planning and Recovery for All-Hazard Events.
More than 20 speakers were on hand to discuss emergency resilience for both the planning and recovery aspects that their organizations have experienced. Jeremiah Hunt, ORWARN Vice Chair, and Stephanie Penselin, ORWARN Treasurer, were the conference organizers and were instrumental in putting the technical program together, which received rave reviews from the attendees.
The conference brought together national, regional, state and local experts to converse about multiple types of emergencies and why

effective planning and preparedness is essential in maintaining organizational resiliency. It also focused on lessons learned that other organizations experienced and how they recovered. This included a tabletop exercise on the last day, which emphasized the importance of mutual aid to help restore critical operations.
The ORWARN network of utilities can help to facilitate rapid, short-term deployment of emergency services, in the form of personnel, equipment and materials, required to restore critical operations to members who request assistance.
Announcing New Board MembersORWARN’s annual membership meeting was held during the conference at Skamania Lodge on September 18, 2018. New board
members were elected during this meeting. Chris Wanner with Portland Water Bureau is the new Board Chair and Ken Vaughan with The City of Bend is a new At-Large member.
Operational Plan Training and Field Training ExerciseORWARN will be sponsoring a water field training exercise some time in 2019. The committee is working with members to find a location on the east side of the state to hold the exercise. More information will follow.
ORWARN Website UpgradesORWARN is continuing to research ideas on how to update the ORWARN website to make it more useful as a tool for members to request aid and respond to requests. The Board would like to hear any ideas from the membership regarding website improvements to make the website more user friendly.
WARN Chairs MeetingChris Wanner attended the WARN chairs meeting in Atlanta. Major topics of discussion were the changes to water/wastewater systems that are part of the recently signed bill - federal legislation S 3021. Systems will be required to have Emergency Response Plans. There are other requirements built into this legislation. The group also discussed Crisis Event Response and Recovery Access (CERRA), which is a Department of Homeland Security program that includes credentialing for first responders.

Small Systems Committee
Utility Management Committee
The plans are in the works for a sand fi ltration class by Michelle Johnson of JUB Engineers, specialized for small systems in rural areas of Northern Idaho. This came about after a specifi c request from an operator in Bonner’s Ferry that attended last year’s PNWS Conference. The committee has worked on reaching out to small systems without being invasive. A webpage for the committee in PNWS was set up for assistance and resources on fi lling out paperwork for Washington and Idaho.
The current committee is looking not to advise small systems, but to reach out and ask what they need, and see in what ways they can help. Recently, a request was made regarding fi lling out paperwork to stay in compliance with the state.
For those of you that are interested in addressing utility management and leadership challenges for small and medium size water systems, we have a training session just for you on January 23, 2019, at the Alderwood Water & Wastewater District Administrative Offi ce. The event theme is “Building Resilience in Your Organization.” We will be sharing our ideas, experiences and discuss options for the future. The event is open and encouraged for anyone that is looking to move up their career path to become a leader not only in the public sector side of the industry but also on the private sector side.
Speakers For the Event Include: • Innovative Ideas in Job Sharing –
Lauren Coleman and Mike Helland, Clinton Water District
• Succession Planning Through Knowledge Capture – Nav Otal, Aleksandra Gancheva, and Shannon Wennblom, City of Bellevue
• IT Panel Discussion – Krista Bautista, Alderwood Water & Sewer District,
Committee Reports
The request brought to our attention that the paperwork submitted is more for larger utilities. This is an example of how the Small Systems Committee might play a role, in either advising, of assisting people in the fi eld with questions, support and networking to make sure smaller systems stay in compliance, or to fi nd better resources and assistance on their behalf.
We found many small system operators are wearing many hats, and are already strapped for time. While trying to maintain compliance, the small system often feels alone, isolated and frustrated. There was also the discussion of the struggle for CEU’s in rural communities. They often don’t have the additional money for travel, and sometimes being a one-man show, don’t have the luxury
of closing their utility down, to go off for much needed training. They’re between a rock and a hard place regarding CEU’s, paperwork, and maintaining compliance. We’ve spent the last year trying to identify some of these problems. Our current project is getting our name out there, so that these operators might have assistance, but we realize that the networking often happens with the bigger utilities, and not the smaller ones.
We realize they’re tired of being told how to do things, and what to do.
If you are a small system, with con-cerns, please reach out to Lance Peter-son, Chair of Small Systems Committee, at [email protected].
Our current project is hearing you, and working together to come up with a solution.

• Rebuilding a District to be Resilient - Tom Hastings, Snoqualmie Pass Utility District
• Communication, Challenges, Culture – Dan Sleeth and Sally Mohr, Covington Water District
• How to Develop Leadership Skills – Randy Black, Lakewood Water District
More specifi cs for this event can be found at www.sites.google.com/a/pnws-awwa.org/utility-management – CEUs have been applied for in both Washington and Oregon.

On average, there are roughly four magnitude-7 or greater earthquakes in the United States each decade, claiming lives, personal property and infrastructure. Loss of life can be minimized through emergency planning and preparedness. So can loss of water pipelines and running water, with AMERICAN’s Earthquake Joint System. The system, made of ductile iron pipe – the strongest, most dependable pipe material – is designed to move up and down and side to side to withstand the tremendous underground forces exerted by an earthquake. After an earthquake, you have enough things to worry about. Destroyed water pipelines shouldn’t be one of them. Rely on AMERICAN’s earthquake pipe system for clean, safe drinking water and dependable fire protection – before, during and after an earthquake.

The No Water No Beer event was a great success, with over 100 attendees. Seth McIntosh, Director #4 of IESS, chaired the event, with the help of Tim Loosier from Neptune, and Elisheva Walters from Murraysmith. It was held at Overbluff Cellars – it consisted of a silent auction, live auction, and paddle raise. The event patrons enjoyed a taco bar, and samplings from Post Falls Brewery, Steam Plant, and Black
Inland Empire Subsection
Label, and a choice of Overbluff Cellar Wines. A video slideshow commemorated sponsors, and gave a little history explaining our efforts in building up scholarships for the future of water.
Neptune was our Gold Sponsor of the evening. Silver sponsors of the event were GSI Water Solutions, Papa Murphy’s and Spring Environmental. Core & Main and Murraysmith also donated, along with American Leak Detection, and Utilis Corp. The event directed itself to water utilities of the Inland Empire, and invited the general public, to help educate them, and introduce them to their local water purveyors. The committee hopes to continue this avenue in growth, and found a lot of people outside of the water environment were willing and interested in donating and helping the future of water for both Water For People, and water education.
Classes wrapped up in October for IESS with a Pumps and Motors session presented by Director 5, Sara Broderius. It was well attended, well received, and the class provided hands on experience, in depth information on check valves, and cutaways of submersible pumps.
Planning has started for the 15th Annual Service Truck Rodeo, March 13, to be held at CenterPlace in Spokane Valley. Currently, we’re looking at two tracks to be presented. One track for workers in the field possibly emphasizing SCADA information, and one on hazardous training. Also, this year, we’re looking to invite public officials and office workers with tracks that show an overview of how water systems work and vary amongst districts, as well as a valuable course on workplace violence prevention; How to Deal With the Angry Customer, being presented by the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department.
The second track provides a chance to invite more attendees, and again, educate more of the general public. This addressed a need in educating first responders from the utilities, who sometimes don’t have the same background as the person in the field, but still remain the first contact to the general public. Past president Terry Pickel is chairing this year’s Truck Rodeo. We’re excited to see what direction he takes us.
We also have a Flagging Class coming up on April 3, and are currently working on classes for Water Technology, Logic Controller Class, and Ductile Iron Pipe to be announced in our spring training.

The Southern Oregon Mafia partnered with Umpqua Basin Operators Section and Umpqua Community College to hold the Oregon Operators Conference. The event was held at Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville. There were 167 attendees at the three day conference in August. Four tracks were offered; water treatment and distribution, along with wastewater treatment and collections.
The golf tournament held in Eagle Point in August raised over $5,600 this year for Water for People. It was a bit smoky, but the participants had a great time.
Recent EventsEmergency Preparedness TrainingOn September 18 the South Sound Subsection in conjunction with speakers from the Northwest Washington Subsection hosted an Emergency Preparedness course. With 27 people in attendance, it was a great day of training in University Place. Special thanks go out to Pierce County for letting us use their beautiful environmental services building training room and to Jeff Lundt and Eric Schey for traveling down to our Subsection to provide the training.
Basic Waterworks TrainingThe South Sound Subsection held a Basic Waterworks workshop in Bremerton on November 1. The South Sound holds a Waterworks 101 class each spring. However, this was the first time using the Training Coordination Committee’s materials for Basic Waterworks. The class was well attended with 37 attendees and well-received according to the class evaluations.
Construction Inspection TrainingIn 2018 we brought a new training to the South Sound focused on construction management. We received great feedback and were asked to dive deeper into the world of a daily inspector. On November 13, we delivered a half-day workshop specific to the daily tasks and challenges of a construction inspector. Our presenters included Bill Routley (Tacoma Water), Todd Honey (Tacoma Water), and Bobbie Gilmour (Kennedy/Jenks Consultants) who shared dozens of photos and stories from their experiences on the job. The training was attended by over 50 participants and was a huge success!
Past Social Events Fall Social and Brewery TourThis year’s annual fall social was held on November 9 at the 7 Seas Brewery and Taproom located on Jefferson Avenue in Tacoma. The social included a tour of the brewery facility, pizza, and a few cold ones on us to say “Thank you” for the

Gray Matters
Dear Colleagues,Many of us struggle with the approach of retirement. There can be sleepless nights thinking about the big Q: What’s next? How do we make sense of moving our life from the daily pursuit of excellence and knowledge, sharing of ideas and projects, fostering teamwork, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with a job well done?
The answer is right there in front of us. Each of us has the opportunity to continue sharing ideas and projects, fostering teamwork, and striving for excellence and a sense of accomplishment along with all the other fun retirement has to offer! Here are some ideas:• Be a mentor: Spend structured time
with a young professional in your (former) discipline. (Distribution, customer service, treatment, engineering, water resources, water quality, etc.). Think 2020 Vision!
• Be a Camp Host: Volunteer to be a camp host at one of the beautiful
National or State parks that are scattered throughout the Northwest. (Or just go on the road and see the beauty.)
• Stay involved with your Subsection: All of the Subsections need active volunteers:• Use your knowledge, experience
and free time to help with training events.
• Help promote, set up and host events for Water for People and scholarships. (This could also be listed in the fun section because it may involve beer and/or wine and a chance to network with colleagues in a relaxed setting.)
• Spend time helping a Veteran find ways they can use their leadership skills and work ethic to succeed in the water industry.
• Be a lifelong learner: Stay involved with educational organizations and either attend or give lectures. There is much to learn about river ecology, watershed management, fine arts, etc.
• Go fishing: Nothing to add here. • Stay involved with AWWA: Attend
conferences and committee meetings, write and present papers, stay involved in whatever way pleases you and adds to the common good.
• Be mindful of the needs of future generations: Think of supporting your Association, Section or Subsection financially at whatever level works for you. Consider leaving something in your Will for the “One Operator” or the E&T Scholarship Funds.
There is a wealth of knowledge and experience within our retired and retir-ing membership. I encourage each of you to use your powers for good. For me, AWWA is one of those things I choose not to let go of quite yet. We have spent careers building and maintaining sys-tems for the benefit of our communities. By staying engaged and using your tal-ents you can continue this good work.
All the best to you and yours, Bill Carr
History Committee
An Appreciation of Our Suppliers and One Lowly Tool
Water utilities have always been dependent on many of suppliers to keep water moving to all our citizens, so let’s pause for a moment and consider all these supplies.Pipe, hydrants, valves, fittings, water meters, trucks, backhoes, telephones, computers, wrenches, levels, hammers, etc.
Let’s focus now on one of the tools I bet never came to mind (if it did, I want to meet you). The shovel. Yep, the lowly shovel, without which no pipe can be laid or repaired – never, in any human civilization. Think of where we would be without this most necessary of tools. How many of you have seen old photos of laying pipe and noticed the omnipres-ent shovel? How many current utility workers carry shovels in their trucks?
For the sake of accuracy, there is an important distinction between
shovels and spades. Shovels generally are broad-bottomed tools for moving loose materials, whereas spades tend to have a flat bottom edge for digging. There are many varieties of shovels and spades, each for their own particular purpose (a fascinating topic in its own right, but not the focus of this discussion). For the sake of brevity, I will use the term shovel for both tools.
This under-appreciated tool has been with us since humans became farmers and even before. Archaeologists have unearthed bone scapula used as digging tools. The footprint of the Roman Empire can be found in the iron artifacts of shovels. A wooden shovel was discovered near Alderley Edge copper mines in England. It dates back to about 1750 BC. Before the invention of powered steam
shovels and the modern excavator, the hand shovel with the men and women using them, shifted dirt for canals, roads, irrigation ditches, trenches for war and water, and railways. Even our water systems were all built by human hands and shovels.
One can argue that it is the most necessary tool for anyone working, fighting, or playing in the dirt. (Of course, one could also argue that a thermos of coffee on a dark and stormy night when repairing a main break is pretty important.)
A hearty thank you to our suppliers who provide us with all the parts and pieces and tools of our trade…especially shovels.
