City of Palm Coast Utility team wins 9th Top Ops State Championship
Palm Coast – The Palm Coast Utility Department’s “Water Buoys” team won its ninth Top Ops
State Championship on May 5, successfully challenging water treatment teams from other
Florida entities in a fast-paced question/answer competition.
Team members Fred Greiner (captain), Tom Martens, Peter Roussell and Jim Hogan (coach)
correctly answered more questions than any other team competing at the annual Florida Water
Resource Conference (FWRC) in Orlando. FWRC is a joint conference of the American Water
Works Association, The Florida Water Environment Association (FWEA), and the Florida Water
and Pollution Control Operators Association (FWPCOA).
Questions in this competition covered a broad range of operational topics including basic
science, chemistry, hydrology, water distribution, public health and sanitation, plant
maintenance, safety and process control. The annual contest recognizes and promotes
excellence in all aspects of water operations, giving operators the opportunity to showcase their
knowledge and talents. The Palm Coast team has won the state championship for nine of the
past 11 years.
“The Top Ops team is excited to again bring home the win, and we’re looking forward to
advancing to the national competition,” said Hogan, Palm Coast Utility Systems Manager of
Water Operation. “The team’s dedication and competitive drive to excel in this fast-paced
contest, involving all technical aspects of water treatment, ultimately benefits the citizens of
Palm Coast by having a better, more-motivated and highly trained operating staff for the City’s
water treatment plants.”
The City’s state-champion Top Ops Team will compete for the top national honors at the
American Water Works Association Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE) to be held in
Anaheim, Calif., in June. Since 2005, the Water Buoys have won the national competition five
times – including in 2014.
Also at the conference this week, Utility Department staff accepted the Florida Water
Environment Association’s David W. York Water Reuse Award. The 2015 Water Reuse Project
of the Year was awarded for the City’s innovative new concentrate Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
system.
For more information, please contact Jim Hogan, City of Palm Coast Utility Systems Manager of
Water Operations, at 386-986-2374.
