I just returned from the Hawaii Section AWWA workshop held on Kauai. I have been able to attend all three workshops and can report there was good turnout for these well-structured, interesting and informative presentations no matter what your discipline. For those of you who were unable to attend, I assure you that you missed three very good workshops. Roy Silva has done one great job, especially for someone who is new to the Section. The nominations for the next slate of Section Officers should appear in this newsletter. I know that you will lend your support to the new officers for the Hawaii Section 2006/2007 year. Speaking of the newsletter, I must mention the outstanding job that Julie McKee and her committee has done with the prior two issues. Publishing a newsletter is not an easy job, and since Julie is a volunteer it must be a labor of love. Dawn Barsana, the Committee Chair for the Annual Conference, has everything well in hand as usual. As this conference is our largest local activity each year as well as the biggest ways and means function for the section, we will need all of your support by attending. Eddie Doi, the Membership Committee Chair, is now also on the National Membership Committee and has reported his first trip to attend the meeting in Puerto Rico to be a big success. Eddie has been working very hard the last few years on keeping our membership strong. Cover photo: Nilaksh J. Kothari, courtesy of AWWA Our next Board Meeting will be 10:00 am on Friday, March 17th at the Honolulu Board of Water Supply. Until next time, please have good health and keep up the good work. 2 AWWA/Hawaii Section Winter 2006
Kauai Workshop Review By Roy Silva February's workshop was held on the 23rd and 24th at the Kauai Beach Hotel and Resort where there was a big show of atten dance, forty-four in all. The topic of the workshop was surface water on Kauai, a public and private partnership. Thursday's program included six speakers who discussed how the partnership began through to its completion, ten years later; the rules and regulations governing surface water; and the daily operations of a surface water plant. The day ended with a "Meet and Greet" at the Hanamalu Café. On Friday there was a two-hour question and answer session with a panel consisting of Ed Tschupp, Mike Furukawa, Hugh Strom, Paul Schuler and Ivan Nakatsuka. Also included was a visit and tour of the Grove Farm facility. Mahalo to Rona Miura, Debra Togioka and Wynne Ushigome for their assistance in making this a successful event. Vision Statement Hawaii Section of the American Water Works Association will be the leading force in the State dedicated to safe drinking water. Board of Trustees 2005-2006 Chair Walter L.
