The 2025 Indiana Water Environment Association (IWEA) annual conference was a huge success for Columbus City Utilities. The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) won the Operations and Maintenance award and Safety award. Quality Control Lab won the Laboratory Excellence award. To be eligible for an award, IWEA committee members performed inspections and audits at the QC Lab and the WWTP. “I am extremely proud of our staff’s hard work and dedication to the industry. Receiving these high honors at this level truly shows their work ethic and professionalism,” stated Travis Calhoun, Associate Director of Treatment Operations.
