New York Times article on new moves on fracking. Looks as if the update has no real new info from the EPA, other then just stating that it's being looked into. I'm really interested in what the final determination will be. I fear this will be a long process.

AWWA & WEF make plans to work together

AWWA, WEF Story from awwa.org






     The exploratory committee to create an official partnership between AWWA and WEF is a long time in the making.  It has been happening a lot on a local level and it is nice to see that this friendship has percolated it's way to the top.
