For our final episode of the 2023 we are once again turning the microphone around on State of Water host and Title Track founder Seth Bernard. (3:51) We begin the episode with Seth sharing a few more reflections coming off of his recent experience at the One Water Summit, which was featured in Episode 38. (9:05) Seth gives some end of year reflections on where we've been as the State of Water Podcast and the Clean Water Campaign for MI, speaking to some of the many insights that we've learned along the way that will inform our work moving forward as we seek to deepen into our commitment to water equity, environmental justice, and climate resilience. (20:55) In the second half of our conversation, Seth vulnerably shares of his passionate commitment to being in solidarity with the Palestinian people and speaking truth to power. The grief, horror, anger and overwhelm that so many of us are feeling right now with the ongoing devastation in Gaza is so incredibly heavy - we hope that this conversation with Seth can serve as a powerful portal for you into deeper empathy, understanding, and love in action - the world surely needs it. Just like in our last episode you'll be hearing music throughout this episode from “Headwaters”, a beautiful new instrumental album from Seth. All proceeds from this album go to support the work of Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA).

Nation, for the 2nd week of this year's Legionella Awareness Month, I am bringing back Dr. Janet Stout to talk about what we, as Water Treaters, need to know about Legionella, what's new in Legionella risk management, ASSE-12080 Certification Training, and many more. Buckle your seatbelts because this is going to be one groundbreaking conversation! Dr. Janet E. Stout is the Executive Vice President and founder of Special Pathogens Laboratory, A Pace laboratory. She is also a research associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Stout is a globally-recognized infection disease microbiologist sought out for her seminal discoveries and pioneering research in Legionella. Her expertise includes prevention and control strategies for Legionnaires' Disease in building water systems. In more than 30 years that Dr. Stout has been doing research, her research has been published in peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals. She has also authored textbook chapters on Legionella and Legionnaires' Disease, one of which is the Legionella chapter in the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) Text. Dr. Stout also assisted in developing the first Legionella prevention guideline in the United States (published in 1993). It has continued to serve as a framework for future national and global health agencies and organizations.  Dr. Stout currently serves on the ASHRAE Legionella Standard Committee Guideline 12 and the Committee for ANSI/ ASHRAE Standard 188-2015, Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems, which was the first US standard for Legionella risk management. Special Pathogens Laboratory, together with the American Society of Sanitary Engineers (ASSE) and the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) created the first certification for Legionella risk management, ASSE-12080, and Dr. Stout is the first certified instructor of the ASSE-12080 Legionella Water Safety and Management Specialist Certification Training. Bottom line: Dr. Janet E. Stout will share with us what water treaters need to know about Legionella.  Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.  -Trace    Timestamps:  Continuing the celebration of Legionella Awareness Month and other events in Water Treatment [01:29] Thinking On Water With James [06:02]  Welcoming back Legionella Expert, Dr. Janet E.

[50:30] Lightning round questions [52:35]   Thinking On Water With James: In this week's episode, we're thinking about corrosion coupons. Do you use corrosion coupons in all of your accounts? Why or why not? Do you use pretreated or pre-stressed coupons? Why or why not? Why should you avoid touching fresh, new coupons with your fingers when installing? Do you consider the orientation of the coupons when installing them? Do you install them so the flat side is vertical or horizontal or have you never thought of this? We've previously thought about the order of the coupons but now's another good time to think about that, too. How many days do you leave them in the system? What would be the impact of removing them sooner rather than later? What can be determined by visually observing the corrosion coupons upon removal? How do you communicate the results? Do you save the old ones for annual reviews, take a picture or scan, or dispose of them? Take this week to think about corrosion coupons and how to most effectively use them.    Quotes: “Everyone needs to be aware that ASHRAE Standard 188-2018 and Guideline 12-2020 are in continuous maintenance.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “Standard 514P is a new proposed standard from ASHRAE.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “There is a real need for input from people in Water Treatment to comment on Legionella standards.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “If any facility should be testing for Legionella, it should be healthcare.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “When it comes to Legionella, any gaps in knowledge need to be filled, so I worked to make education standards for Legionella.”  - Dr. Janet E. Stout “We (Special Pathogens Lab) stepped into the role of one of the first instructors to deliver training so people could sit for the certification exam and get the credential as a Certified Legionella Water Safety and Management Specialist.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “When you are doing Water Management, you're using testing for Legionella to validate that the plan is working.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “Percent of Positivity: If more than 3 out of 10 faucets or showers are positive for Legionella (in a hospital), we would see a Legionnaires Disease Case.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “You can't completely eliminate Legionella, whether it's from a cooling tower or a potable water distribution system. You can knock it down, you can hold it down with water treatment, but you can't eliminate it.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “Sterilization is impossible when it comes to Legionella. Disinfection will be dependent on the type of system you are treating.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “We're not asking people to get to zero Legionella, we're asking people to get zero cases of Legionnaires Disease.  - Dr. Janet E. Stout “It's not happiness that brings gratitude, it's gratitude that brings happiness.” - Unknown   Connect with Dr. Janet E.

Water is a vital economic and natural resource. Many communities across the U.S. face significant and often unique challenges with water scarcity and infrastructure. In episode 7 of the Notice & Comment podcast, three of our lawyers recap various water issues facing communities, including highlighting recent discussions from the 2018 One Water Summit and Indiana Delegation Roundtable. Topics include aging infrastructure, revenue and rate tension, annexation and privatization considerations, and reuse possibilities.

In this third episode of Talking Under Water: One Water, One Podcast, hosts Storm Water Solutions Managing Editor Lauren Baltas, Water Quality Products Managing Editor Amy McIntosh and Water & Wastes Digest Managing Editor Bob Crossen revisit their discussion about plastics in waterways as Starbucks and other corporations make moves to eliminate straws. McIntosh discusses her recent trip to the Texas Water Quality Assn. annual conference and the effects of tariffs on the water quality industry, namely resins. Crossen talks about his trip to the One Water Summit in Minneapolis and how water equity was the underlying theme among sessions. Lastly, the hosts interviewed Melanie Holmer, National Water Reuse Leader for Brown and Caldwell. Holmer talked about several one water efforts happening right now and explained what one water means to her.
