Our was proud to participate in the New England Water Environment Association (NEWEA) Operations Challenge Regional Competition during the 2026 Spring Meeting in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
Known as the “Wastewater Olympics,” Operations Challenge brings together some of the industry’s top water and wastewater professionals in a unique display of technical expertise, teamwork, and operational excellence.
We’re especially proud of John McClaughlin, who competed as part of Connecticut’s “The Sludge Hammers” team. For a first-year team, their performance demonstrated strong potential and highlighted the value of continued investment in operator development and industry engagement. Inframark’s involvement extended beyond competition participation, with team members serving as mentors, judges, and event support.
Events like these play an important role in strengthening the water and wastewater industry by fostering collaboration and professional development.
