Both of them work in CH2M HILL’s Operations Management Business Group on projects where we’re responsible for the management of water and/or wastewater facilities. It’s the first time that two people from the same company have competed against one another. And we couldn’t be more proud of them. You can help NAWC choose the winner.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the latest post in our Access Water asset management best practices series, CH2M HILL's Jim Oldach and Sam Paske discuss reliability centered maintenance (RCM) programs. Based on the research we conducted with McGraw-Hill Construction, we found more advanced practices, for example RCM, to be less widely adopted than other practices, even though—in the experience of many of our clients— application of these practices can increase the reliability of plants, equipment and other infrastructure, while generating substantial financial savings. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our continued efforts to raise awareness of the value of water and promote conservation at the grassroots level, CH2M HILL WaterMatch is proud to partner with Wyland Foundation on the National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation to promote resource conservation and the importance of sustainability during Earth Month in April. We are happy to congratulate the five U.S. cities who were honored today for residents’ commitment to water-saving choices. Separated into five population categories, the winning cities are Denver, Colo.; Tucson, Ariz.; West Palm Beach, Fla.; Bremerton, Wash. and Laguna Beach, Calif. Residents in all 50 states made more than 44,000 online pledges to save water, use less energy and reduce pollution in four categories – home, yard, community and life – with potential cost savings of more than $30.6 million!]]></description>

In the latest of our series of posts about asset management best practices, Jeff Sanford discusses the benefits of detailed condition assessments, and how CH2M HILL is working with our clients to take the information from those assessments to create fact-based maintenance and capital improvement strategies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Biological drinking water treatment is gaining more attention in the water treatment community as a result of increased focus on affordable “green” treatment approaches and technologies capable of contaminant destruction. Noticing the great need for partnership and communication on this issue, CH2M HILL's Kerry Meyer collaborated with the American Water Works Association (AWWA) to establish and lead the Biological Drinking Water Treatment Committee. In a natural progression to begin facilitating an even broader discussion, the AWWA recently hosted the first Biological Treatment Symposium. Meyer shares more on the latest Access Water.]]></description>
