Conference Overview
This Summit is organized by the Pennsylvania Water Environment Association (PWEA) Collection System Committee. We will present topics starting at the inlet of the force main and moving downstream to the discharge. Pump stations have always been the beating heart of a collection system. Advances in technology and enforcement have made force main topics of greater interest.
Target Audience
The target audience includes municipal collection system managers, elected officials, public works directors, local government managers, non-profit and conservation organization representatives, collection system professionals, and planning and engineering students.
