By John Fischer
Great start to the new year, and the apple pie was darn good too. Hope you were lucky enough to have one at your seat. Very interesting and informative presentation by our speaker. One of the points covered that I found most interesting was that the sizing considered pump out frequency based on type of establishment. For your information, ASPE is establishing a disaster relief fund. The purpose of this fund is to provide some relief to aid members in times of need and to allow non-profit groups, chapters, to accumulate funds for distribution to needy members. This would be operated through “National” is my understanding. It is my understanding that an official announcement regarding its structure should be announced soon. The following is information regarding the CPD 2018 Exam. The Registration Opens – December 1, 2017 and closes on March 22, 2018. The 2018 CPD Exam is scheduled to be held April 5 and 6, 2018. The location(s) are to be announced later. It has been suggested that when our associate members visit Engineering offices to provide information on the products they represent that they also they ask how many of the attendees of their presentation are ASPE members and make a short presentation at that time regarding the merits of ASPE membership Important Dates and Notices:

VP Technical Report By Nicholas Hipp
Good day everyone! The next presentation on October 3rd will be by Claypool Pump about a “Basic Overview on Centrifugal Pumps”. They have broad experience in pump products. His presentation will be most educational in explaining the different types of pumps in the industry and the best applications for the different styles of pumps. In September we had a most interesting presentation on hydromechanical grease interceptor sizing. This is a relatively new product in the industry and various qualities and characteristics of this new equipment were discussed. If you wish to receive a certificate for this meeting please provide your e-mail address on the sign-in sheet provided and one will be emailed to you.

Our meetings as in previous years are being held in the recently remodeled “The Engineering Center of St. Louis” formerly called The Engineers Club. Hopefully the cur-rent completion of the remodeling work will facilitate our meetings.
The St. Louis County Building Commission has been unable to have a hearing on the proposed St. Louis County Plumbing Code ordinance. Keep an eye on the meeting notice in the following URL if you are interested in reading a proposed dopy of the ordinance and learning of a scheduled meeting. It is an open meeting and anyone is allowed to attend.
