Monday, October 18 – Thursday, October 21 The American Water Works (AWWA) California-Nevada Section is presenting a virtual Annual Fall Conference, “Adapting to Change.” The four-day event will include an opening general session, awards luncheon, and will provide training classes for up to 18.5 professional contact hours.

Roux’s Andrea Berlinghof, P.E., Senior Engineer, will be presenting during the conference on Wednesday, October 20 at 3pm on Mercury Remediation for Water Utility Companies.

Mercury has properties that differ from other materials, which impacts how remediation activities are implemented.
