&lt;strong data-end="169" data-start="98"&gt;A Century in the Making &amp;ndash; Celebrate PWEA&amp;rsquo;s 100th Anniversary!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="495" data-start="173"&gt;In 2026, the Pennsylvania Water Environment Association marks a remarkable milestone&amp;mdash;&lt;strong data-end="330" data-start="258"&gt;100 years of protecting and improving Pennsylvania&amp;rsquo;s water resources&lt;/strong&gt;. Since 1926, our members have been at the forefront of innovation, advocacy, and service, and now it&amp;rsquo;s time to honor the people and projects that brought us here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="897" data-start="497"&gt;Join us for an unforgettable &lt;strong data-end="559" data-start="526"&gt;100th Anniversary Celebration&lt;/strong&gt; filled with history, inspiration, and connection. Enjoy a special evening of fine dining, commemorative presentations, historical exhibits, and the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends from across the state. This once-in-a-century event will be the perfect blend of reflection on our past and excitement for our future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="831" data-start="488"&gt;Through ten decades of innovation, advocacy, and education, PWEA has grown into a trusted resource for water quality expertise and leadership. This publication honors that legacy with a rich collection of photographs, stories, and historical highlights that reflect the progress of both our association and the broader water environment field.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="1054" data-start="833"&gt;We thank our members, partners, and supporters&amp;mdash;past and present&amp;mdash;who have helped shape PWEA&amp;rsquo;s century-long journey. May this book serve as a tribute to your contributions and a source of inspiration for the next 100 years.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Reserving your exam seat(s) can&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FF0000"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;be done online through PWEA's online registration system. Payment for exams is by credit/debit card only.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FF0000"&gt;REGISTRATION IS A TWO-PART PROCESS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FF0000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;First step: Complete your online registration and pay the registration fee (credit/debit cards only) in order to reserve your seat. After completing the registration and payment process, you will receive a system-generated email confirming your reserved seat at the exam location you selected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Second step (within 10 work days): &amp;nbsp;Complete the DEP Test Selection Form: To get to the form, click on the link that was included in the exam seat confirmation email from Step 1. Print, sign, scan and return the Test Selection Form to PWEA &lt;strong&gt;(IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT THIS FORM IN 10 DAYS YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THAT TESTING DATE)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do not delete any content from the DEP Test Selection Form&amp;nbsp;prior to submitting to PWEA. &lt;/strong&gt;The Test Selection Form content is specific to YOU, it tells the DEP &amp;nbsp;your facility class and which drinking water or wastewater tests you want to take, so the correct exam can be loaded onto a computer for you or packaged for your written exam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Print and sign the Test Selection Form: &amp;nbsp;Your completed DEP Test Selection Form MUST include your hand-written signature.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scan the signed form.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR TEST SELECTION FORM WITH YOUR SMART PHONE: the DEP will reject your form.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Return your completed Test Selection Form&amp;nbsp;to PWEA:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Welcome to WEFMAX in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on May 6-8, 2026!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get ready to &amp;lsquo;steel&amp;rsquo; yourself for an unforgettable experience&amp;mdash;WEF is coming to Pittsburgh! Join your peers in the &amp;ldquo;burgh&amp;rdquo; of innovation, where water professionals will bridge ideas, iron out challenges, and streamline solutions together. Don&amp;rsquo;t miss this chance to pump up your knowledge, flow with the experts, and connect with the industry in a city that knows how to make it work&amp;hellip; and make it last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;WEFMAX Theme:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Operator Engagement&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What is WEFMAX? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
WEFMAX&amp;nbsp; is a regional annual meeting where national WEF member association leaders address current issues and exchange successes and strategies.&amp;nbsp; Each year, WEF selects three Member Associations, who work with WEF to jointly sponsor a WEFMAX for their region.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
WEF uses WEFMAX for direct input on the programs, support and educational opportunities members need. Over two days, WEF officers present updates and the host Members Associations provide presentations on their own programs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Why WEFMAX and not WEFTEC?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
WEFMAX&amp;rsquo;s smaller footprint as a regional meeting opens up in depth discussion and solutions, at a direct level&amp;nbsp; not possible in the larger convention setting.&amp;nbsp; The dialogue at WEFMAX focuses on how the Member Associations work to serve their members.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Why support WEFMAX Pennsylvania?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
WEFMAX Pennsylvania is jointly sponsored by WEF and PWEA. WEF&amp;rsquo;s financial contribution does not cover the entire expense of hosting the meeting &amp;nbsp;which means PWEA is financially responsible for all expenses not covered by WEF.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s&amp;nbsp; in it for my Company? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Support WEFMAX Pennsylvania and
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Be an example for the industry: WEFMAX &amp;nbsp;attendees are established and early-career leaders from across the US&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Be part of the future: WEFMAX focuses on critical topics in the water environment&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Be an influencer: WEFMAX Pennsylvania will be the only 2026 WEFMAX&amp;nbsp; for eastern and central US WEF Member Associations&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Be Pennsylvania proud: Show your commitment to PWEA&amp;rsquo;s work and leadership in the water sector&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Reserving your exam seat(s) can&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FF0000"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;be done online through PWEA's online registration system. Payment for exams is by credit/debit card only.&lt;br /&gt;

	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;First step: Complete your online registration and pay the registration fee (credit/debit cards only) in order to reserve your seat. After completing the registration and payment process, you will receive a system-generated email confirming your reserved seat at the exam location you selected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Print and sign the Test Selection Form: &amp;nbsp;Your completed DEP Test Selection Form MUST include your hand-written signature.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scan the signed form.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR TEST SELECTION FORM WITH YOUR SMART PHONE: the DEP will reject your form.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Return your completed Test Selection Form&amp;nbsp;to PWEA:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
