This past weekend (May 14th/15th) we made our fifth trip back to Shelby County, Alabama to deliver our 16-hr Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar. The folks in Shelby County, especially those in the First Battalion, have worked hard over the years to improve their water supply delivery operation. Last year, they joined our exclusive 1,000 GPM Club.

During this year's drill, a peak flow of 1,100 gpm was established using apparatus from the First Battalion and surrounding communities. The target hazard this year was a structure at the University of Montevallo located in Montevallo, Alabama. Two fill sites were used to support the operation. Instructors for the weekend were Mark Davis and Tim Legore. A complete summary will be posted in a few weeks.
