Congratulations go out to the folks in Shelby County, Alabama for joining the exclusive GBW Associates, LLC "1,000 GPM Club." On June 6th and 7th, Shelby County EMA and the Alabama Fire College hosted our 16-hour Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar at the training center in Calera, Alabama. This was our 5th time deliverying this program in Shelby County. As usual, the weekend culminated with a 2-hr tanker shuttle drill. This year - the shuttle exercise was a great success and the participants achieved membership in the 1,000 GPM Club by never once having water flow interrupted and by flowing 1,000 gpm or more for the last 60 minutes of the drill. Kudos go out to the leadership of Shelby County's Battalion One and surrounding departments who have worked hard to achieve this goal. Instructors for the weekend were Mark Davis and Shane Darwick.
