Water: Using Date-Driven Decision Making Tools to Meet the Future Needs
Apr. 26, 2018
Parts of the Rockford's water system is nearing over century in age; and provides 18 million gallons of clean water daily to customers. Improving the water infrastructure while insuring a safe and adequate supply is not without challenge. For years, Fehr Graham and the City of Rockford Water Division had a proven public-private partnership on the repair of the water infrastructure. But now the focus is on developing a forward-thinking and fiscally responsible water infrastructure investment program for the future. In addition, this partnership is tasked with finding ways to improve infrastructure using cost-saving measures, such as data-driven decisions to prioritize projects and creative designs to minimize impact on residents. Kyle Saunders, the watersuperintendent for the City of Rockford, and Seth Gronewold, a professional engineer with Fehr Graham, will help us understand the infrastructure needed to insure clean water and the benefits of the this partnership for Rockford residents. |

The goal of the Circle Of Change Veterans' Dog Program is to help military veterans work through their PTSD and other psychological issues by focusing on training and working with dogs who also have issues. The vets work with a professional trainer. The dogs are customers of the trainer and many are rescues, dealing with issues of aggression or withdrawal. There is no charge for the veterans to participate in the program. The program partners with the Rockford VA Clinic and the Madison VA Hospital. Stephen has been in nonprofit leadership roles in Rockford for over 20 years. The majority of that time he was President & CEO of Careers, Etc. and just prior to the Circle of Change was with Rock River Training/Workforce Connection. He has been recognized by the Department of Illinois of both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars for outstanding service to U.S. military veterans. |
