The Windsor Locks Water Pollution Control Facility was host to State and
Federal regulatory officials and plant superintendents on August 1, 2000.

The occasion was to highlight the Youth in the Environment program administered
by the E.P.A. Windsor Locks W.P.C.F recieved a grant through NEIWPCC to hire
Bill Greer an intern from Springfield Technical Community College. Bill has
completed his first year at STCC in the Environmental Technology program.
Part of Bills duties were to help in producing a brochure detailing the
various aspects of work involved in operating a facility. Chuck Conway of
NEIWPCC put together a power point presentation that was shown all present.
This presentation was also used to address the shortage of qualified
operators presently in and entering the field. Many topics were addressed and
discussed. Please see the accompanying story.
