Who is GWEF?
The GWEF is the Georgia Member Association of the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and a section of the Georgia Association of Water Professionals (GAWP). GWEF participates in the activities of WEF and promotes the objectives of WEF in Georgia through GAWP. GWEF, like the other sections of GAWP, has its own set of officers. The two GWEF Section Delegates represent our “Member Association” on the Federation House of Delegates. They make sure that the Federation is aware of Georgia’s perspective on issues, and they keep us informed of what the Federation is doing. GWEF actively pursues WEF’s and GAWP’s missions on a local level through section committees and GAWP committees. The Collection System, Industrial, Pretreatment, and Wastewater Treatment committees are GWEF committees and fall under the direction of the GWEF Executive Committee (GWEF Officers). The GWEF Section also strives to have representation on each of the GAWP committees.
Collection System Committee
The Collection System Committee’s mission is to establish to disseminate fundamental and practical knowledge concerning the collection system and mechanical appurtenances used in wastewater systems, provide training opportunities for operators, and create a forum for discussion of the design, construction, maintenance, capacity, rehabilitation, and management of collection systems and associated mechanical equipment. The committee will accomplish its mission by soliciting papers and developing technical sessions for GAWP conferences and by developing specialty conferences, as appropriate. The Collection System Committee oversees the Collection-System-of-the-Year Awards, including promoting the awards, evaluating the candidates, and selecting the recipients. The committee also nominates candidates for the golden manhole award. For more information on the Collection System Committee, please contact Daryl Macy at 478-256-9363 or
