We import no water from outside sources. When it doesn't rain, which happens frequently, we have shortages. In response, we've done an amazing job of supporting an ethos of water conservation in the community, in addition to strategically planning for the impacts of climate change on our community. Results? We're down to average use of just 36 gallons per person, per day (some of the lowest in the state of California) and are well into rehabilitating our outdated, twentieth century infrastructure so that we're prepared for the increased pressure that climate change is putting on our system.

Since it opened in 2018, this massive system of deep underground tunnels has captured more than 9 billion gallons of combined stormwater and sewage that otherwise would have overflowed into the Anacostia River, known locally as \"the forgotten river.\" Today, the improved health of the waterway is bringing a renaissance to the Anacostia waterfront from housing, retail and sports venues, to recreational and environmental opportunities.\tThe Anacostia Tunnel System is part of DC Water's Clean Rivers Project. The project is a massive $2.7 billion infrastructure construction program designed to capture and store excess combined sewage during rainfalls rather than allowing it discharge directly to the receiving waters.  Captured flows are delivered by gravity to the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment plant for treatment before being discharged to the Potomac River. The program, to be constructed over a period of 25 years in accordance with a Consent Decree entered between the Federal government, District of Columbia government, and DC Water, will reduce CSOs by an estimated 96% system-wide by volume in an average rainfall year, with a 98% reduction for the Anacostia River.

To paraphrase the wise and industrious Leslie Knope, if you don't want to be on call 24\/7 for emergencies, then you should not get into the high-stakes world of water production in the City of Roswell. The Roswell Water Treatment Plant produces 3.3 million gallons of water per day and maintains 89 miles of distribution waterline mains in order to get the highest quality water delivered to the customer. Water supply operations have continued smoothly and safely without disruption to the community throughout the pandemic; there are no Jerrys here. The Roswell Water Treatment Plant sources water from a large tributary of the Chattahoochee River, named Big Creek, which is also known for the historical ruins of the Roswell Manufacturing Company Mills. The City of Roswell has been producing water from Big Creek for 85 years and this newest treatment plant came into operation in 2014, increasing efficiency and capacity. In addition to providing water to the community, staff provide tours of the plant and hold an annual Drinking Water Festival to educate residents about the process of treating and delivering water, water conservation, and how to protect our watershed. It's a regular Harvest Festival level of celebration here in the City of Roswell. Water is at the heart of our City. If the Roswell Water Treatment Plant ceased operations, thousands of people would be without running water, locally-brewed craft beer, and a variety of fine breakfast foods prepared by our quaint cafes and Waffle House. All this to say, this small but mighty water treatment plant helps provide the highest quality of life for the residents of Roswell, Georgia.\tThe Roswell Water Treatment Plant is a standout operation in its class. The City of Roswell was awarded the Georgia Association of Water Professionals 2020 Water Treatment Plant of the Year Award for plants producing 1-4.99 million gallons of water per day. The Roswell Water Treatment Plant has also been the recipient, for 4 years in a row, of the Gold Award from the Georgia Association of Water Professions, which is given to treatment plants that meet or exceed all of the state standards for water production.\tAPPROXIMATE\t34.0586259\t-84.3857442\nCedar Creek Water Reclamation Facility\tAthens\tGeorgia\t30605\tIndispensable, Poopular, Sparkling\t\"I write to nominate the Cedar Creek Water Reclamation Facility in Athens, GA.  I hope my story below explains why I believe this location is worthy of competing for the #ELGLKnope Award.  The threatening weather could have played perfectly into the scheduled Halloween-themed Trick or Treatment event.  However, we decided the drizzling, wet, and foggy conditions were not ideal for a Cedar Creek Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) tour.  We sent word of the last-minute cancellation along with our regrets to the registered tour participants.    As I approached the facility gate to head home, I saw a waiting car.  Perhaps someone who hadn't received the news of the cancellation?  I rolled down my window to find a young knight, Spiderman, and their parents in the other vehicle.  They had not gotten the message about our need to postpone.    Per the Halloween tour instructions, the boys had dressed in costume, ready for their visit. The parents' eyes pleaded with me as they explained how their oldest son was always asking what happens to the water after he flushes the toilet.  They had promised to show him the path of his poop.  As if on cue, the rain stopped.  Not wanting to be one who disappoints, I offered to go ahead with the tour so these curious boys could solve the mystery of the flush.  I introduced the family to Cedar Creek WRF, the smallest of three such facilities in Athens, GA.  Cedar Creek WRF rests on 40 acres nestled within a larger 500-acre wooded area.  We recently installed a solar array on an open grassy field to offset energy costs and meet the local government's ambitious green energy goals.  I shared with my guests that we often hire sheep - yes, the wooly kind - to come in and mow beneath the solar panels.  Lawnmowers can throw rocks and break the panel glass; goats chew the necessary wires and tend to jump on top of the array.  Sheep are who \"\"ewe\"\" want for the job.  We followed along the treatment train that almost 2 million gallons of collected water flow every day.  At the band screens, a ghost floated nearby.  This particular apparition was a \"\"ghost\"\" made of past flushable wipes, a tour decoration still waiting to haunt.  The knight and Spiderman stopped for a photo while learning about the importance of the 4 Ps of Flushing:  Only Pee, Poo, Paper, & Puke go down the toilet.  I explained to my guests that Cedar Creek WRF relies on a return-activated sludge treatment process.  Our operators create the perfect environment for billions of microorganisms to flourish. These little buggers remove the contaminants from the water.  With so many decomposers on-site, including the fantastic water bears, Cedar Creek WRF is a favorite annual school visit for hundreds of fourth and fifth graders learning about beneficial microorganisms firsthand.  Since the pandemic has suspended tours, we created a video tour to virtually introduce classrooms and others to the concept of water reclamation.  Rather than cancel our very poopular annual Valentines' Day Romantic Tour of the WRF due to COVID restrictions, we were able to adapt and use the video for an online event this year.    The sludge\/biosolids removed from the process first go to the dewatering building, then travel to a compost production area and get mixed with leaves and limbs to create compost.  Residents can purchase the compost for use in their flower gardens.  The tour guests were surprised to see that the biosolids resemble plain ol' dirt.  We climbed the ladder to the top of the clarifying basin where the sludge settles, then carefully crossed over the million gallons of water held in the 18 ft. deep tanks without the need for Spiderman's web-slinging abilities.  Next, we walked to the ultraviolet lights, the final step in the treatment process.  After UV disinfection, the water cascades over a series of stairs to add oxygen back to the water before returning to the source to flow to the next community who will pull it for drinking water.  And with that, the knight's burning question as to what happens after he flushed was answered.      Cedar Creek WRF isn't unique in the way it treats the water it collects.  You find this same treatment process in hundreds of other facilities across the nation.  What makes this location different is how it engages with the community.  This quaint facility's small size makes it an ideal place for a quick tour, with over 3,000 people taking advantage of this opportunity.  Solar panels, sheep, a tour video, coloring books, on-location social media posts, public tours, and the occasional tootsie roll parting gift following a tour are a few ways Cedar Creek engages and differentiates itself from the competition.  At Cedar Creek, we avoid using the term \"\"wastewater\"\" with the public, for it doesn't accurately describe the work done here.  Yes, we remove waste from the water collected, but we do not waste a drop of water.  Our facility recognizes water is too important to waste, so we hesitate to combine the two words.  And despite our facility's public perception, including that of our Halloween tour guests, the solid waste, aka poop, makes up a fraction of what is in the water received.  We stress this concept to the public, choosing to focus on our finished product, clean water.    What truly makes Cedar Creek WRF extraordinary is the staff. Working from home was not an option in response to the pandemic.  Someone was\/is on hand 24\/7, making the WRF operators work the definition of an essential service.  They protect our water, public health, environment, community, and those living downstream.  Stopping is not an option.  I hope you accept my nomination for Cedar Creek WRF into the March bracket competition.  We look forward to having another outlet to showcase our work and share the story of how water impacts every corner of Athens, GA.\"\tI think of this facility as one of the Seven Wonders of Athens, GA.

Captain George N. Stone founded \"\"Chester Park\"\" in 1875. It was one of the cities' largest amusement parks for many years. Chester park consisted of a lake bisected by a midway, allowing for one part of the lake to be used for swimming and ice-skating and the other side for boating. Surrounding the lake was a boardwalk with places for eating and amusements such as shooting galleries and other games of chance and skill. Hilarity Hall, a funhouse, was a main attraction at the park. The facility was also an entertainment center for the city. However, as the mobility of the people in Cincinnati increased in the early 1920s, Chester Park began to see competition from Coney Island, a commercial amusement resort located just east of Cincinnati. Then, as with many recreational enterprises, Chester Park was heavily impacted by the depression years. The last season for any recreational activities at the site was in 1941. With the advent of World War II, the complex was abandoned entirely.  Greater Cincinnati Water Works purchased this site to build its administrative office building in 1957. It was selected because of its central location as it related to the distribution service area at the time and its proximity to the expressway. Construction was completed in 1958, and the actual move-in took place in early 1959. Now known as \"\"CPC\"\" and \"\"the Spring Grove Office,\"\" several additions have been made to the building. Seven of the nine GCWW Divisions are located at this site (the Water Quality & Treatment and Supply Divisions are located at the Richard Miller Plant Complex on Kellogg Avenue).\"\tThe GCWW Chester Park Complex (CPC) has a fascinating history of which many are unaware. Ironically, during the 1932 season, the owners of Chester Park found themselves in default on their water bill -- it was the shutting off of the water that forced them to close all but the swimming and ice-skating activities at the park.  Employees and visitors can learn about the location's past in our lobby foyer, where several plaques with historical photos are featured.\tAPPROXIMATE\t39.1787938\t-84.514354\nElsinore Arch, Greater Cincinnati Water Works\tCincinnati\tOhio\t45232\tHistoric, Unique, Hamlet\t\"Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) proudly nominates Elsinore Arch. Elsinore Arch (also known as Elsinore Tower) is a registered historic structure in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on March 3, 1980.   In 1883, Cincinnati Water Works decided to extend its water supply main tunnel (which had remained incomplete for several years) 185 feet to the line at Gilbert Avenue. This main started at the reservoir in Eden Park. However, to control the flow of water at the base of the steep hill, a valve house was needed. Cincinnati Water Works wanted to enhance the landscape of the park and also wanted a structure that would also serve as a new entrance to the park \u2013 so they felt that the valve house needed to have a unique design.   That spring, Cincinnati was host to the Shakespearean Dramatic Festival at Music Hall. The highlight of the festival was the performance of \"\"Hamlet\"\" (featuring Shakespearean actor James Edward Murdoch in the role of Hamlet; popular because Cincinnati was his hometown). The audience was highly impressed with the stage sets, especially the opening scene. This particular stage set was a 65-by-65 foot painting (painted by a local artist named Merry) of Elsinore Castle (aka Kronberg Castle), where the moody Denmark prince walked at night and spoke with the ghost of his father. In the audience that night was Water Works Superintendent A.G. Moore. He was so impressed with the painting of Elsinore Castle, that the next Monday morning, he took a newspaper illustration of the Elsinore stage set to the offices of Samuel Hannaford and Sons (a famous local architectural firm that also designed Cincinnati's Music Hall and City Hall). Charles B. Hannaford, the son of Samuel, was commissioned to design the valve house in the form of Elsinore Castle. The Elsinore Tower was built later that year.\"\tThe building at Gilbert Avenue and Elsinore Place was constructed in 1883 for Cincinnati Water Works and was inspired by the Elsinore Castle, featured in \"Hamlet.\" The adjacent building was built with stonework similar to that used in the arch's construction and was once the home of Cincinnati's Natural History Museum. Today it is the home to WCPO-TV.\tAPPROXIMATE\t39.1787938\t-84.514354\nThe Mill Creek Barrier Dam, Greater Cincinnati Water Works\tCincinnati\tOhio\t45232\tCritical, Protection, and Hidden-gem\tGreater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) proudly nominates the Mill Creek Barrier Dam. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed the Barrier Dam and floodwall\/floodgate system in 1948 to prevent rising water in the Ohio River and tributary flow in the Mill Creek from causing local flooding in the Mill Creek Valley. The Barrier Dam is located at the mouth of the Mill Creek, just inland from the Ohio River, and was built to protect against the 1937 flood level of 80 feet. During normal conditions on the Ohio River (\"normal\" Ohio River pool elevation is about 26 feet), the Mill Creek flows into the Ohio River through an opening in the dam. However, when the Ohio River approaches flood stage (52 feet), it is closed off using 14 metal bulkheads weighing 11,000 pounds apiece, put in place by a large crane. Large pumps inside the dam are then used to pump the flow of the Mill Creek through the dam to the Ohio River. In February 2018, the Dam operated all eight pumps for several hours, pumping more than 100,000 gallons per second of Mill Creek water into the Ohio River.\tMany Cincinnatians do not know there is a dam in their city that protects property, businesses, and homes! As an integral part of the city's response team, Stormwater Management Utility (SMU) is responsible for managing and operating the Mill Creek Barrier Dam, which protects over $3B of infrastructure in the Mill Creek Valley from Ohio River flooding. A little-known, but interesting fact about the Barrier Dam: The Barrier Dam pumps were originally meant for the Hoover Dam. That's right! When the Hoover Dam was being built, the pumps were ready, but Hoover Dam was not, so the pumps came to Cincinnati's Mill Creek Barrier Dam instead.\tAPPROXIMATE\t39.1787938\t-84.514354\nMirror Lake (Eden Park), Greater Cincinnati Water Works\tCincinnati\tOhio\t45232\tHistoric, Beauty, Reflections\tGreater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) proudly nominates Mirror Lake in Cincinnati's beautiful Eden Park.

Following the installation of the \"roof\" -- which was placed over the Eden Park Reservoir -- the public expressed disappointment at the loss of the open \"lake\" (which was actually the Water Works reservoir), so the city built a large \"reflecting pool\" over the reservoir cover basins to preserve the \"lake\" setting in the park. Today the pool is referred to as \"Mirror Lake.\"\tIn 1998, ArtWorks' (the Greater Cincinnati nonprofit that employs youth apprentices and professional artists to create public art) youth apprentices completed the park's Mirror Lake fresco painting on the pool's bottom surface, which features fossils of sea life from the Ohio River. Mirror Lake has been the focus area of many public events photo shoots, including a recent feature for the Cincinnati Ballet's beautiful portrayal of \"Swan Lake.\"\tAPPROXIMATE\t39.1787938\t-84.514354\nMt.

As part of this \"\"Treasure Hunt,\"\" workers examined existing systems and procedures throughout the plant, asking tough questions and thinking outside the box whenever possible. In one example, an employee identified a large air compressor that was set to run automatically for about 70 hours each week to keep a set of valves pressurized. A closer examination of the system showed that the large air compressor could be replaced by a smaller unit that ran less frequently to achieve the same goal.  Workers identified dozens of these energy saving opportunities, large and small. Some, like swapping out the air compressor, represented quick wins. Others will require more extensive work to implement, but the potential payoffs are more substantial. Some may even qualify for grants from the Energy Trust of Oregon.
