The Florida Water & Pollution Control Operators Association (FW&PCOA) is an
organization of members who are engaged in the production, treatment and distribution of
drinking water; the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater; and the collection and
treatment of storm water. Our goal is to protect the health of citizens and preserve natural
resources. We accomplish this by advancing the professional status of water and wastewater
plant operators, providing a licensing system for field technicians, and arranging training
'~ programs. Our region, Region II, covers Nassau, Duval, St. Johns, Pufiam, Clay, Baker, Union
and Bradford Counties.
'~ Each year we recognize water, wastewater, and system operators for their dedication in
maintaining water quality in the state of Florida. We do this by proclaiming a week in the month
of August as "Florida Water, Wastewater, and Systems Operators Week. "

community. You can do this by executing a proclamation recognizing this event.
I am enclosing a sample proclamation for your use. Please transfer the information to
