The #Poofighters completed a successful day 1 of the #WEFTEC178 Ops Challenge. The Poofighters are WTD’s team at the International Operations Challenge Competition sponsored by the Water Environment Federation (WEF) at the WEFTEC annual conference . The Ops Challenge is like the Olympics of wastewater. Teams of some of the best wastewater operations staff in the world display their talents and skills in five different, timed events simulating real-life scenarios like process control, laboratory, collections, maintenance and safety.

Found a pokémon lurking in the woods! J/k it’s a Western Tiger Swallowtail 🐛🦋(Papilio rutulus), hanging out on a cottonwood 🍃 in the forest where Loop #biosolids are used to build the soil and grow trees! We were out in the woods doing a routine site visit with our WA Dept of Ecology regulators when we found this little guy chillin. We always coordinate with @ecologywa and #universityofwashington soil scientists to check soil types and to make sure we use the right amount of Loop in the right places - where it will help our forest ecosystems and protect our sensitive rivers and streams😊 #science #turnyourdirtaround #loopforyoursoil
