RE: Proclamation request for Florida Water Professionals Week
Dear Mayor Bush:
The Florida Water & Pollution Control Operators Association (FW &PCOA) is a non - profit
organization whose members are engaged in the production and distribution of drinking water, and the
collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater and storm water. Our goal is to protect the health of
citizens and preserve natural resources. We accomplish this by advancing the professional status of all
water industry employees, arranging educational programs for treatment plant operators and customer
service representatives, and providing a training and certification program for system operators.
The FW &PCOA embarked on a program in 2007 to recognize all water industry employees for their
dedication and hard work providing safe drinking water to Florida's citizens and protecting Florida's
environment and natural resources. We did this by proclaiming a week during the month of August as
"Florida Water Professionals Week"
The FW &PCOA has scheduled this year's Florida Water Professionals Week for August 16 - 20,
2010. We would like to invite you and the City of Winter Springs to join us in recognizing the efforts of
water professionals in your community. You can do this by executing a proclamation recognizing the
event.
I am enclosing a sample proclamation for your reference. Please send your executed
proclamation to my address, stated below, so we can recognize the City of Winter Springs' participation
in this year's celebration. If you would like an officer from our association to accept the proclamation at
your commission meeting, please contact regional director Mark Shoup at (407) 846 -4588. Thank you in
advance for your anticipated participation!
Sincerely,
Timothy A. McVeigh, President
