The New Year is here and the Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International is already in sight. This is the second year in Indianapolis, and the second year the National Association of Wastewater Technicians will host the Shoot-Out event at the booth. A number of events this year will keep you entertained, or better yet, try your luck to see if you walk away with the champion title and take home a great prize.

Each event is a timed challenge, and the person with the best time of each event will walk away with cash or prizes valued well over $5,000. Here's the lowdown on the competition sponsors for the winners:

• Vac Truck Vane Challenge, Fruitland Pump

• Tank Alarm & Pump Installation, SJE-Rhombus Alarm & Champion Pump

• Aeration Assembly, Septic Services, Whirlwind Aerator

• Pre-Trip Safety Inspection, Progress Tank

In addition to the contests, there will be a silent auction table where you could have a chance of winning some great sponsored items, with proceeds going to support NAWT with a focus toward education in the onsite wastewater industry.

Pre-Expo classes

Come to Indy early, as NAWT hosts a few courses one and two days before the Expo even begins. This is a great opportunity for you and perhaps your employees to become NAWT-certified or get the continuing education units (CEUs) you need to maintain your certification. This year, NAWT will have three classes at the Pre-Expo Course. "Inspector Training and Certification" (Feb. 23-24) is NAWT's signature education course. "Vacuum Truck Technician Certification" (Feb. 24) is a one-day course tailored to truck owners or operators and may also be used for recertification, and brand new this year, NAWT is offering a "Principles of Septic System Design" course (Feb. 23-24) where you can join us for a unique classroom and field experience. This new course will give you the skills necessary to evaluate and review system plans and learn design principles that will apply to designs everywhere. Call the office to register. Members get a discounted rate of $100 off either of the two-day courses.
