VP Technical Report By John Fischer Jr.
Hey, it’s time to take a walk (or ride) in the wonderful surroundings known as Warrenton Golf Course as we chase that little spheroid. We enjoy the flora and fauna as that little demon many times does not do our bidding but heads off into the tall grass and forests surrounding our target, the cut green grass fairways. Always, at the end of our journey, we find solace and refreshment under the shelter of the final meeting place. That food is good!!! For those who attended our last meeting, we were informed by our speaker, Steve Krieger, about a relatively new organization, the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association (ARCSA). His topic, “Rainwater Catchment, A Practical Resource Alternative” informed us about the results of collaboration between ARCSA and our own ASPE that produced Rainwater Harvesting Standard 63. Rainwater Harvesting (RWH), the accumulating and storing, of rainwater from the roofs of houses and other above ground impervious surfaces is another viable solution to providing water, a necessary requirement for people to survive. Historically, we have gathered rainwater and stored it for human use and consumption. It was not too recent that many of us were very dependent on cisterns to collect and store rainwater for our use. That continues even today. In very recent times distribution systems have been used to provide our water needs, however those systems need water to distribute. We have seen recently in the news, California taking necessary steps to conserve the water they have so that they can survive. Rainwater Harvesting is a concept we must begin to consider and use even in our area where we have a large water resource. Our first meeting of our new year, September 1, 2015, will be here before you know it. Currently scheduled is a representative of NSF International, the promulgator of NSF standards NSF 61 and NSF 372 dealing with the amount of lead allowable in our water as well as other standards pertinent to our industry. It promises to be an interesting meeting. We are also hoping for appearances by UL, AGA, Solar Skies, and others of interest to our members. We still need suggestions from our members for other topics or speakers of interest. My contact information is on the first page of this newsletter. I will contact the presenter if you provide the necessary information.

G O L F O U T I N G Our Annual Golf Outing is coming up on June 2nd… If you have never attended I encourage you to really begin considering it. For those of you that have attended in the past I hope to see you there again. Please take a look at our website for photos from last year’s outing. http://www.aspe-stl.com/Golf__2014.html Thanks again to all that were able to make it out last month for the technical session from Steve Krieger from the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association (ARCSA). A special thanks to our VP Technical Jack Fischer for providing us with some great topics over the past two years. It’s not always easy to come up with topics that will not only keep our members interested but will also provide the technical data that each of us is looking for. Thanks Jack. That’s all for now… SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER.
