In the September 2023 issue of FWRJ the CEU Challenge column on page 59 includes questions for the article, “Alternative Management Strategies to Prevent Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances From Entering Water Supplies,” which will not be published in the magazine until January 2024. Both the article and the questions from the column will appear in that issue.

The magazine regrets the error.

Recognizing the importance of protecting assets from corrosion in water and wastewater systems, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) have announced an agreement to collaborate to benefit their members and the wider public.

The cooperative agreement will “help to promulgate knowledge and technologies that protect people, assets, and the environment from the effects of corrosion.” It opens the door for cooperation on events and webinars, technical information exchange and research, and the possibility of collaboration in countries outside of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, particularly India.

“Every good water utility manager understands that protecting pipes and other assets is critical to maintaining strong, healthy water systems,” said David LaFrance, AWWA chief executive officer. “AWWA looks forward to tapping into the experience and expertise of AMPP through this new collaboration.”

Stated Amir Eliezer, AMPP board chair, “On behalf of AMPP’s global members and leadership, I extend our appreciation as we embark on this mutually beneficial relationship with AWWA. Expanding our international reach allows us to share corrosion-related knowledge and cutting-edge technologies with regions facing distinct challenges and needs with water systems, so establishing partnerships like this fosters progress and ensures success in the industry.”
