Text Box:   Have does your utility’s safety program measure  up?   Find out by entering your drinking water utility in the Michigan Section’s Safety Award Competition!     The competition is administered by the Safety Practices Committee and is intended to recognize excellence in water utility safety programs.  The competition involves the review and evaluation of the utilities’ safety record and safety program.  All Michigan Section winners (by size/classification) will be entered in the AWWA National Wendell R. La Due Safety Award competition for possible national recognition.  In addition to distributing awards in each classification, the Safety Practices Committee will also recognize utilities that have shown dedication and progress in providing a safe work place.   Last year, the Michigan Section was home to the Huron Shore Regional Water Utility that was awarded the Class I National LaDue award.  Let’s bring home another National award this year!  We particularly want to encourage utilities that have not previously entered the competition.   To enter, complete the form on the Section’s website (http://www.mi-water.org/) and submit to the address below.  The deadline for receipt of an application is February 1, 2010.  For more information or to submit an application contact:   Mr. Paul Retel Greeley and Hansen 211 West Fort Street, Suite 710 Detroit, MI  48226 Phone:  313-628-0730 pretel@greeley-hansen.com   2010 Michigan Safety Award Forms LaDue Application
