KELLY’S CORNER
Finding the
I recently had a friend buy a house for the first
time, she was very excited at hitting this
milestone as it was a goal she has worked
towards for a while now. When she purchased
the house, she never thought about the fact
that her garage is detached with a small
driveway away from the house. With the first
snow, she had gotten home after a long day at
work and realized as she made the turn to
drive in, that the unsheltered space between
the house and garage was completely drifted
in full of snow. Three hours later and with a lot
of shovelling she was in the garage. The next
day, the first thing she did after work was get
a snow blower. Now four snows later, that
which had been a huge problem after the first
snow, was no longer a problem because she
had the right tools to make the situation less
stressful and less work.
Do you have the proper tools that you need to
do your job? What are some key things that
you need to put in place to make doing your
job less stressful or in some cases less timeconsuming?
How can you do your job
working smarter rather than harder?
For those of you who just attended this last
conference you have been given a lot of tools
to take back and use in your jobs. Tools that
help in the technical aspect and tools that
help in the day to day way you do things as a
worker and as a leader.
Attending the conference and tradeshow is a
huge part of having the tools you need as an
operator to do your job. You get the CEU’s
needed to maintain certification,
opportunities to see technology that can help
you, and a vast network of professional
individuals who either have the answer or can
Right Tools
point you in the right direction for the answer.
Tools help make our job or personal life easier
as long as we have the ones needed for the
different aspects of the job we are looking to
do. As an operator you can check out the
SASKOCB website for certification
information on the tools needed to renew or
qualify. The SaskH20 website has even more
tools available for you to use and the SWWA
website has all the training information
needed to help you maintain your operator
status as well as supplier information to help
you find the part or parts you may need.
One of the tools we gave out this year to all
attendees was a supplier directory; this
directory has information on all the suppliers
who participated in the SWWA 2018
tradeshow. The directory is also available for
download on the supplier portion of the
website. Speaking of the supplier part of the
site, did you know that one of the tools we
have set up is that you can enter what it is you
need in the search bar and it will pull up all
the suppliers who were at the show that can
help you with what you are looking for?
With the proper tools our jobs seem less
daunting and stressful and more manageable.
Have a very merry Christmas and a fantastic
end to 2018 see you in 2019!

SWWA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Conference
Wrap-UpSWWA 2018
That seemed to come and go in the
blink of an eye, didn’t it?
It seems like just yesterday we started getting things in order and before you know it,
it’s Friday afternoon and we were closing up the conference for another year. As we
put another conference to bed, the SWWA board would like to thank all the sponsors
who contributed to make this years’ event a success. We were also fortunate to have
a ton of great presenters this year, and we received very positive feedback from many
of our attendees. It certainly gives us a nice pat on the back and lets us know we’re
keeping the ship pointed in the right direction.
The keynote address was delivered by the ‘Water Brothers’, renowned television
celebrities and water activists! The message of global water awareness was a hit with
delegates, and hopefully struck enough of a cord to initiate the action required for our
part in the crisis! In addition, the address reiterated the importance of our Operators,
and that the jobs they do every day are more significant than most people realize or
give credit … well done guys and girls!
This year, more than 460 members were on hand, and the majority left with the
available 1.2 CEU’s for certification. Also, it pays to mention that most of the attendees
signed up online, and despite a few glitches, it seems as though our delegation has
grasped the new method of registration. This certainly eases the stress on the office
during the last two months!!
Make sure to keep your 2019 calendars handy (included in your conference bag), and
use them to update future workshop dates as they become available online at
www.swwa.ca . You’ll also notice an extra booklet in your bag. This contains all of your
suppliers’ information! Use it as a quick reference to contact your reps when parts and
service are required!
I hope everyone took as much out of the conference as I did, it’s always a great
learning experience, and I hope you all had a fun time as well.
Take care, enjoy the winter, and we’ll see you all again next year.

KAYDEN’S PROMISE TO YOU
Kayden’s success over the past 20 years has been built on
manufacturing one of the largest, most reliable and most
e cient horizontal decanting centrifuges available in the
dewatering industry.
These high capacity centrifuges are specically designed
for dewatering, and when combined with the most e cient
dredges built in North America they create a mechanical
desludging and dewatering package unsurpassed in the
industry.
Kayden can assure all clients that our technology will deliver
industry leading results in the hands of trained operators
who follow best practices in operation and technology
deployment.
Traditionally when we think about a toolbox we think of
tangible items, those things that we can hold in our hands
like hammers, pliers, etc. This month when I heard that the
theme of the Pipeline was, “What’s in Your Toolbox?” I started
to think about what does that mean to an operator in a
water or wastewater facility?
Of course, it means the tangible items that we need to do
our everyday jobs. We need the correct tools to do our work
including everything from hand tools, sampling equipment,
machinery and the instruments that we use for sample
analysis. But, what about the intangible tools that we need?
The intangible tools that we need are the skills that
operators possess to perform their daily work. An operator
in a water or wastewater facility is required to have a broad
spectrum of understanding of many trades and fields.
Operators need to understand fluid dynamics, electricity,
and pumping theory, as well as have a vast knowledge of
water quality and chemistry. An operator may be called on
to troubleshoot all kinds of equipment in their facilities and
must have the network of specialists to call on when the
issue is beyond their ability.
Operators of water and wastewater facilities must rely on
the training that they have received during their
preparation for certification exams and the experience that
they have in their facilities to troubleshoot and optimize
What’s
Toolbox?
IN YOUR
their processes. By participating in continuing education
each year, operators can expand their knowledge base and
gain a deeper understanding of specific topics. This is one of
the advantages of requiring education to maintain
certification.
Other resources that are available to the operator include
the breadth of knowledge and guidance available from the
Water Security Agency (WSA). The WSA employs experts in
many fields that can assist operators in analyzing problems
ranging in nature from the steps required to resample after
a positive bacteriological sample to highly complex issues
like controlling organic substances in the process to reduce
disinfection by-products.
There are private consultants that can assist with jobs that
are only performed periodically that may require
experienced personnel, specialized equipment or additional
skilled workers. Tasks like uni-directional flushing, leak
detection, reservoir maintenance, remote monitoring and
cleaning or plant optimizations can be facilitated through
private companies.
So, I guess the question is not just “What’s in Your Toolbox –
But Who’s in Your Toolbox?” as well.

culture
IN
THE
WORKPLACE
There are many factors that determine safety
culture in the workplace, and how people view
safety. Safety culture can change the way a
company does business and how their
employees do day to day items. There are many
factors when looking at changing the culture in
your workplace, things like how the workers
look at safety in general. It starts at the top and
goes right down to the bottom, from the
owner of the company to the lowest worker
on the totem pole.
Some of the things that can change the
culture in your workplace are things like
communication. Weekly safety
meetings and toolbox talks are a great way
to communicate and have the employees
take the lead. Inform your workers about all
safety news and any new safety items that may
come out in the workplace. Training is always a
good way to show workers that you have
commitment to safety. Trained employees are
more aware of hazards around them, they also
are more willing to take safety more seriously.
Lead by example, if the workers see that even
the highest person in the company follows the
rules it makes them want to do the same. It’s
from wearing PPE to following the proper
policies and procedures. Employees will not
follow if they don’t see it from their supervisors.
It’s more than talking the talk you have to walk
the walk.
Implement a positive reporting process makes a
worker want to report potential hazards and
help keep their fellow workers safe. When an
employee feels safe to come and report hazards
the culture will change for the better and the
workplace will be that much safer. Involve
workers in developing the policies and
procedures, let them have a part in the process
so they can feel needed. Ask them how they
would like the policies to look like, what types of
things they think work better.
Lastly, having a Joint Health and Safety
Committee, demonstrates the commitment to
safety. It shows a good safety culture between
the workers and the employer.

Piapot Water Treatment Plant
Up In Flames
On October 29 at 11:30 pm an alarm sounded at the Piapot
Water Treatment Plant located on the Piapot First Nation. When the operator
went to check it out the inside of the building was filled with smoke and fire
which had sparked a grass fire outside the facility.
In years past, a municipal agreement had been made with a surrounding
municipality but due to “lack of funds there was no agreement in place on
the night of the fire” as stated by Ira Lavalle in an interview with news talk
CJME on Oct. 30. A call was put in to a local community however no truck
came, the RCMP did respond and made sure the fire was kept under control.
The Piapot community helped get the fire under control and the situation
has the community banding together and the mood remains helpful and
optimistic. This has brought up the need for access to a fire truck and is
something that is being reviewed by Indigenous Services Canada the
provincial officials with emergency management and fire safety to develop
a plan moving forward. At this time the cause of the fire has not yet been
determined.
In a phone Interview with Don Poon of SAL Engineering Ltd. who is the
Project Manager he spoke of the three phases needed to get things moving.
The Water Treatment Plant that was in place prior to the
fire had Green Sands filters that removed the iron and
manganese before the RO process.
Indian National Affairs Canada was also approached for
their take on the situation. The following is their response.
At this point has it been determined what type of plant
will replace the one that was destroyed by the fire (i.e. what
type of technology will be used, where will it be located,
capacity, estimated cost, size, etc.)?
At this early stage, the look and design of the new Piapot
Water Treatment Plant has not been determined. The focus
of the Project Management Team (PMT), which consists of
representation from a number of partners including
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), is focusing on three
areas:
1To ensure water is available to community
members. This includes purchasing and delivering
bottled water to residents who had water piped
to their homes from the previous plant, and
trucking in water from neighbouring
communities to homes that are on truck delivery.
2Securing a temporary water treatment plant to
produce water for the core area and facilities (e.g.
school, band office, healthcare centre) within the
community and to provide water for truck
hauling.
3Starting the feasibility and pre-design stage of
developing a new treatment plant. This is always
the first step when a new plant is to be
constructed. At this stage, decisions on which
technologies will be included, location, water
source, etc. are determined by the PMT.
PHASE
PHASE
PHASE

To have water provided to the school and distribution system
immediately. This was done the day following the fire and only
one day of school was lost.
To create a temporary solution to the lack of water for the
community. The solution for the time is hauling water but a more
cost-efficient solution (temporary Water Treatment Plant) is
needed.
A proposal has been submitted to the federal government
looking at a total cost of $13 million to replace the plant and
temporary and emergency measures.

Members of the team discuss, collect, share and
expedite all details associated with the project. This
includes determining the physical structure, funding
sources (insurance, First Nation, federal government),
jurisdiction, provincial and federal regulations, and
community interests – all with the objective of
completing the project in the most efficient and
effective manner.
Describe the federal government’s response to the
disaster.
First Nations are responsible for immediate action in
an emergency situation with support from Tribal
Councils, the Circuit Rider Training Program, ISC, and
provincial agencies.
Immediately following the fire, ISC officials traveled
to the community to attend the initial emergency
response meeting. During this meeting, which had
representation from the Piapot First Nation, the File
Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council, the Province and ISC,
we committed to working with the community to
address their immediate short-term water needs. In
addition, our officials participated in a discussion
concerning funding to replace the treatment facility
that had been destroyed.
ISC also confirmed we would have representation on
the PMT, which was established to address the short,
medium and long-term water supply needs of the
community.
What supports does ISC provide to communities to
help ensure plants are being operated by certified
operators?
ISC provides funding to First Nations communities to
train water treatment plant operators.
Trained and certified plant operators are key to
reducing risk and to help ensure safe drinking water
in First Nation communities. To support First Nations
in developing and retaining the capacity to operate,
service and maintain public on-reserve water and
wastewater systems, ISC funds the Circuit Rider
Training Program and operator certification training.
The Circuit Rider Training Program is a mentoring and
long-term capacity-building program that uses
traveling trainers, called Circuit Rider Trainers. The
Circuit Rider Trainers visit First Nation communities
such as Piapot, to assist operators in obtaining and
maintaining their certification to manage and
operate their respective facilities.
Circuit Rider Trainers also provide system operators with on-site,
hands-on training on how to operate, maintain, and monitor their
communities’ drinking water and wastewater systems. Water quality
monitoring on reserve is overseen by First Nations Inuit Health and
they also provide support and training for this.
The goals of the Circuit Rider Training Program include:
n
n
n
n
Supporting on-reserve water and wastewater system operators
in developing and maintaining the capacity to manage their
systems;
Improving the maintenance, management and effectiveness of
on-reserve drinking water and wastewater systems;
Reducing the number and duration of drinking water advisories
(DWAs); and,
Helping First Nations communities to realize the full-service life
of their water and wastewater infrastructure.
Has it been determined when the new plant will be completed,
operational and commissioned to the First Nation?
No. As the PMT is only in the feasibility and pre-design stage, we cannot
confirm a date as to when the new plant will be completed and ready for
operation. From start to finish, the process to plan, tender, build and
commission a water treatment plant usually takes approx. 2 years.
As noted by INAC and stated by Don Poon in the phone interview the
process for building a new plant takes time as does approval. We will be
watching and following up in the New year with the steps being taken to
get a good working solution in place while the new plant is being
approved and built.
It is not always easy to work through and handle an incident like this one
but a few huge things to note happened during this crisis:
1
A community pulled together, remained optimistic and was
helpful ensuring the fire did not spread and that the grass fire
was controlled
2
3
The Piapot
Water was restored to the school within 24 hours of the fire
ensuring class time of only one day was missed
The operators of the Piapot First Nation worked hard with the
project managers brought in (Don Poon and Lawrence Lukey)
to find a solution that would work for the time being.

MEMBER PROFILE
ROWENA
FOURHORNS
Level 2 Water Treatment Plant
Operator for Piapot First Nation
& Carry The Kettle First Nation
What led you into your current
field? Was it planned or a
detour?
In 1989, opportunities rose for
First Nations women to
participate in training for water
plant operators. I took the
training and have been with the
industry ever since.
How long have you been in the
industry?
I have been in the water plant
industry for 30 years; since 1989.
Is there someone who has been
a mentor to you in your
professional life and personal
life and why?
My mentors are those people
who had taken the time to help
me and stand by me-family,
friends, coworkers and other
water professionals. I also credit
Garry Tenaschuk with ATAP. He
helped me to feel at ease in an
overwhelming environment. Also
at time when women were not
seen as water plant operators.
If you could give advice to
someone looking to get into
the industry or to a student
looking into a future career
what would you say?
“Go for it”, I encourage a lot of
younger people to look into this
field of work. It may not be a lot
of pay at first, but after gaining
experience and acquiring the
certifications-you’re not limited
to one place, it opens the doors
across Canada.
What type of education do you
currently hold?
I have my Grade 12 GED. I also
acquired the Level 2
requirements for the Operator
Certification Board to be certified
in 2006.
What are ways you give back to
the industry?
I help other First Nations water
plants when I can; I also do
school tours of the water
treatment plants. We also set up
information booths at health &
career fairs in our communities.
What is the most rewarding
part of your job?
Providing safe and potable water
to the communities I work in.
What are your future plans for
your career?
Retire.
What are ways you currently
incorporate to help combat
stress and overwork?
I am still learning different ways
to combat stress and overwork.
Over the years of being in this
field, being an operator had
become a part of my everyday
life. I spend a lot of time travelling
when I can; spending time with
family and friends-they are the
most important to me.
What led you into your current
field? Was it planned or a
detour?
My lead into the Water Plant was
a detour and looking for a
change from my previous
employment. In September
2017, I had just happened to
stop at our community water
plant to visit the operator,
Rowena Fourhorns. She
informed of an immediate
opening available at the plant. I
applied with our band
administration, interviewed and
started October 2017.
How long have you been in the
industry?
Up to this point-November 28,
2018, I have been in the water
industry for one year and one
month.
Is there someone who has
been a mentor to you in your
professional life and personal
life and why?
In my professional life, I look up
to those who are more
experienced and willing to help
me; people who take the time to
explain things to me and allow
me to do job duties on my ownfind
my own way that works for
me.
In my personal life, I turn towards
my family and a few close
friends. Family and friends who
support, listen and encourage
me through many different
paths.
What is the most rewarding
part of your job?
The most rewarding for me,
would be the self-discovery in
my own abilities. I came from a
previous work experience that
MEMBER PROFILE
MARNIE FRANCIS-WATER
Plant Operator-Piapot First Nation Water Treatment Plant
had nothing to do with the
Water Industry and that was a
HUGE change in my life. Doing
the day to day job duties in and
around the water plant and
community helped me discover
some abilities that I forgot I had
or didn’t know I had!
If you could give advice to
someone looking to get into
the industry or to a student
looking into a future career
what would you say?
Try it…..There is nothing wrong
with trying out different fields of
work to help a person decide
what is best for them or what
works for themselves and family.
The worst a person can do to
themselves, is not TRY. You never
know until you TRY. Give the
experience some time, work at it
and then come to a conclusion.
What type of education do you
currently hold?
I have my Grade 12 diploma,
some community college &
university classes in Agricultural
Business & Social Work, Youth
Care Work and I have just
received my Level 1 Water
Treatment & Water Distribution
certification with OCB.
What are ways you give back
to the industry?
I look forward to the future and
planning for our community.
With our recent loss, I would like
to share our experience with
other First Nation Water Plant
Operators and planning for a
community crisis.
What are your future plans for
your career?
I plan on remaining on with
Piapot First Nation Water
Treatment Plant and continuing
to work on obtaining my Level 2
certifications within the next
year or two.
What are ways you currently
incorporate to help combat
stress and overwork?
I have incorporated doing things
that I enjoy: riding horses,
quadding, entering barrel racing
events, taking horses to bucking
horse events, reading and
puttering around my yard. I
found that being in this field of
work has its days of stress and
overwork, if I let it. We have an
excellent crew of back up
operators here in our
communtiy and my coworker:
Rowena Fourhorns and I work
out a lot of scheduling of
weekends, holidays, etc. So that
we can enjoy the things we like
doing and places we like to visit.
Family is very important to us
and we ensure that everyone
working with us has the time
they need to be with family.

Vol 82 / No. 143, in section 40 CFR 141.74(a)
(1), published on Thursday, July 27, 2017.
“This is a big milestone,” says Michael Sadar,
Lovibond’s Research and Develop Manager.
“We worked hard to develop a system that
was not only user friendly, but that is able
to achieve the level of accuracy that the
operators as well as the regulators expect
from a system like this. We’re really proud of
what we were able to accomplish, and we
think that operators are really going to like
the simplicity of the overall design of the
instrument as well as the data management
tools that the mobile interface provides.”
See the New PTV Process Series by
ADVERTORIAL
With an emphasis on simplifying processes,
data management, and reducing water
usage, the design of the PTV Series
considered every aspect of process turbidity
workflow. The system is configurable to offer
operators a variety of options including
integrated flow indication and bi-directional
Bluetooth® communication between the
sensor and a mobile device. Additional
accessories to assist with installation, sample
management and routine procedures such as
calibrations and cleanings are also available.
As a stocking distributor and factory
authorized service centre, ClearTech
offers complete installation and ongoing
maintenance service on the PVT Series
Turbidimeters.

Leadership
is Like Looking
Down a
MANHOLE!
The day I found myself looking down into the inside of a
manhole, knowing that within 2 months I was going to be
determining what needed to be done to repair worn out
manholes and pipes, I realized how little I knew. I had a lot to
learn! A lot. I needed to add to my “manhole toolbox”. I found
that there is an entire world underground that most people know
absolutely nothing about, and don’t care about until their
basement is flooded with sewage.
This is a great illustration of what
it takes to be a leader. Most
people like to think they
understand what a leader does,
what they can do better, what
they’ve done wrong, and how
they can fix things. The problem
is, until we’ve stood looking down
into the “manhole” of leadership,
we have little idea about what
kind of crap we’ll have to deal
with, in order to keep things flowing as smooth as possible for
everyone else. Until we’ve felt the weight of leadership, our ideas
are usually just theories, we really don’t know what tools we’ll
need to lead well.
Leadership is often messy. We don’t always see what’s coming
down the pipe at us until it pops out right in front of us and then
we’re wading through it, trying to clean up the mess that results!
Manholes and leadership have something else in common – we
need the right tools to deal with the situation. We need to add to
our leadership toolbox, just like I needed to add to my manhole
toolbox. We need the right tools at the right time.
Leadership is never constant. Things continually change.
Technology, materials, weather, materials, government codes,
safety regulations, town/RM/ City councils, and employees are
always changing. We need to have the tools, and the knowledge
to deal successfully with all these changes.
Some of the older manholes are still made of brick. We use
I knew all about sewers.
At least I thought I did.
How much could there
be to know?
I turned on the tap – fresh water came in.
I pulled the plug, or flushed
and all the problems went away.
Or did they?
different methods for repairing those older ones than the newer
cast concrete manholes. We need to alter our approach and use
some different tools to make them efficient again and to keep
things “flowing”. Leadership today necessitates using different
tools, putting a different set of skills to use if we’re going to keep
everything “flowing” in our departments.
If you’ve been a leader for any amount of time, you know that it’s
not a 40 hour a week job, it takes extra time and effort to lead
well. We need to invest some of that time in ourselves, adding to
our toolbox, adding to what we know. How do we do that!!!!????
READING – we can learn from people who have done
what we need to do
LISTENING – podcasts and audiobooks are a great
way to learn
WATCHING – instead of “surfing” –
watch videos with a purpose
TALKING – time with people who are doing
what we want to learn to do
There’s no way you would settle for only knowing how to turn on
a tap and flush a toilet – you need more than that to do your job!
So, then don’t settle for only knowing a couple of “tricks” when it
comes to leading your department! Get the tools and the
knowledge you need. After all, your people are worth it!
PS – Those “surprises” that pop out at us, won’t be so challenging
when we have the right tools to deal with them!
If you click on the link below, you’ll find a ton of resources, that
we’re adding to almost daily, to help you fill your “leadership
toolbox”!
Thanks for what you do for our communities!!

Mali: Healthy Communities Program
n WaterAid Canada embarked on an ambitious project to transform lives through water,
sanitation and hygiene in the ati and la districts of central Mali. Together, thanks to
generous supporters like SWW change is now happening. Toilets are being built, hygiene
practices are changing and soon, even more communities will have access to safe water.
n Mali and around the world midwives have a challenging role in helping to ensure the safe
delivery of babies. Without access to clean water and soap in healthcare clinics, this critical job
becomes much more challenging. Ami works as a midwife at the health centre in Dougouolo,
Mali. She is in charge of prenatal consultations, delivery, postnatal consultations and family
planning. She has seen first hand the impact that the Mali: Healthy Communities program
has had on the health centre staff and patients. New water taps, washbasins and latrines were
installed inside the delivery room and new taps were provided in the yard of the healthcare
centre.
WaterAid/B.Ouedraogo
Abdou Sogoba, 50, head of
household, posing with two of his
children in his compound, in the
Circle of Bla, Mali.
“Now there is a change thanks to the project support. We have tap stands in the yard of the
health centre and we have taps inside the clinic rooms for our various needs. With these taps
everywhere, we can easily have clean water to drink, wash our hands and clean the materials.
The maternity ward has a tap, a washbasin and clean water available inside. So there is no need
for me to leave the room to seek water while a woman in is labour needs my assistance. This is
a valuable improvement to our working conditions and it contributes to preventing some
infections and it helps us save time and energy to take care of patients. mi
Ami, 45, midwife in the health
centre of Dougouolo has
running water and soap now to
wash her hands inside the clinic.
“I decided to invest and get a good latrine”
Abdou Sogoba and his family live in the village of Toukoro, Mali. They had a traditional latrine
in their compound that was simply a hole enclosed by some pieces of wood. hen the wood
rotted and crumbled, the family was left without a toilet. nfortunately, this scenario is not
uncommon in rural ali.
Abdou decided to participate in some community meetings that were happening in his village.
hese meetings, part of the ommunity ed otal anitation approach, bring
communities together to discuss their hygiene and sanitation situation and the effects poor
hygiene has on their health. hese meetings are the first step in encouraging community-led
action to build toilets and eliminate open defecation. Abdou learned about different types of
latrines and realized he needed a more solid and safe option for him and his family. e
decided to invest and build a new latrine with a an lat or anitation latform slab, an
improvement from the traditional latrine he had before.
WaterAid/B.Ouedraogo
ur research has shown in several countries around the world, that the decision needs to first
come from the individual that they want and see value in a toilet for their family.
Abdou himself was not convinced that he wanted to invest his money in a latrine until he
participated in the community meetings and in a WaterAid hygiene education session. Abdou
recogni ed that he had the funds needed, he ust had been lacking the knowledge and
knowhow. he crumbling of his former traditional latrine followed by the awareness he gained
through the meetings motivated Abdou to invest in an improved latrine for his family.
ince I got the new improved latrine built, I feel at ease using it. I m glad to use it. All the
family members are proud of it. Everyone uses it. I appreciate the fact that the hole for
defecation is always closed. I think that with this improved latrine, we can avoid contracting
some diseases.” - Abdou
