On day 4 of Industrial Water Week, we are celebrating Wastewater Thursday with water treatment expert and consultant Dave Christopherson.\xa0
What is Wastewater and Wastewater Treatment? How do you describe what you do for a living to those unfamiliar with your field? What are the 4 types of Wastewater? Do you only work in sewers when working in Wastewater (*asking for a friend)? What do you need to know about your client\u2019s water before you meet with the client? What\u2019s the best advice for Jar Testing? I\u2019m asking those questions and more in today\u2019s Wastewater Thursday interview with Dave Christophersen.\xa0
Join me, Trace Blackmore, the host of the Scaling UP! H2O Podcast and Dave Christophersen, as we celebrate Wastewater Thursday together.
Bottom line: Dave Christophersen will introduce Wastewater to students and recent graduates considering careers in water treatment.\xa0
Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.\xa0\xa0

Quotes:
\u201cWastewater is water that has been used for some purpose, and now has some components that need to be removed if you want to reuse that water.\u2019\u2019 - Dave Christophersen
\u201cOn my first real Wastewater Project, I learned how complicated it is. I learned that the more complicated the problem was the greater the learning opportunity, which meant the greater the reward was.\u201d \xa0Dave Christophersen
