Were Made in America

While others are touting a return to homegrown product manufacturing, the wastewater industry
has been, is and always will be building and hiring in the USA By Jim Kneiszel, Editor

ots of stalwart, domestic companies are waving the flag to reclaim the
Made in America messaging they lost long ago by shifting product
manufacturing to other countries.
Its a good thing when these companies can bring jobs back to support hardworking American families. An example crossed my desk recently
through a press release from toolmaker DeWALT. The company promoted
an initiative to build its products in the United States, saying that 60 additional corded and cordless power tools would be assembled at home, using
global materials. That means 500 new jobs here in the states.
In total, DeWALT will produce 14 million tools in seven U.S. plants. Its
good business, according to the company, which cited a 2013 Consumer Reports National Research Center survey showing that 78 percent of Americans would prefer buying American-made products if they are identical to
those made elsewhere.
We continue to grow our domestic capabilities because the professional using our tools wants to buy products made in the USA, says Frank
Mannarino, president of DeWALT Professional Products Group. DeWALT is
making the power tools for the contractors and builders who are themselves
building America.
OUR STORY
I applaud companies like DeWALT for wanting to bring the manufacturing luster back to America. But these initiatives remind me theres a
greater story to be told about the wastewater industry. While some manufacturers are touting the return of American products and jobs, the wastewater industry has been, is and always will be predominantly Made in
America.
This fact hits home for me every February when I attend the Water
& Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show in Indianapolis. I walk the miles of aisles of exhibits and see the vast majority
of trucks, tools and technology equipment that were designed, engineered
and built in America. Of course there are exceptions, such as our friends in
Canada and Europe who build out trucks and assemble pumps and other
equipment. But in many cases American minds are driving wastewater
solutions and American hands are providing the craftsmanship to build
these solutions.
And these products are not only being sold for use in the United States.
Pumping professionals from across North and South America, and farther
abroad, come to the WWETT Show when they want to find the best equipment the wastewater industry has to offer. Ive talked to contractors from

10

Pumper October 2015

Everyone in the industry whether they turn shovels

of dirt or manage a multimillion dollar company
knows their efforts improve our environment and make
our water supplies safer for future generations.
India to Colombia to Great Britain, and they tell me the same thing. When
they need quality tools to serve their customers, they come to Indianapolis
and check out American manufacturers.
And our Made in America message goes beyond manufacturing quality products. The wastewater industry puts many thousands of Americans to
work every day pumping tanks, designing onsite systems, and setting up and
tearing down portable restrooms, just for starters. Most of these are good
paying, family-supporting, full-time jobs, and the workers often grow in service company jobs to build rewarding careers.
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
And the rewards are more than a solid wage. Everyone in the industry
whether they turn shovels of dirt or manage a multimillion dollar company
knows their efforts improve our environment and make our water supplies
safer for future generations.
Improving tools and technologies placed in the hands of competent
service providers are keeping septic systems working more effectively and
helping everything downstream of the drainfield. Sharpened knowledge
and service skills are also allowing commercial and residential development
to occur in more far-flung areas than ever before. We all know that a lack of
access to proper wastewater treatment will quickly bring a halt to economic
progress and a high quality of life.
Without clean water, our lakes and streams will be compromised and
the health of the nation will decline. Put in these terms, we understand
the great burden and responsibility shared by every pumping professional.
And its a burden and responsibility you take on with enthusiasm and pride
from the start of the route at daybreak to washing off the truck at the end
of the day.
Made in America? Yeah, its been that way in the wastewater industry
for generations. Pumper readers can get behind that message.

The crew at New Jerseys A & C Septic
Service is only a phone call away when
customers need emergency service
By Pete Litterski

s owners and the sole workers at A & C Septic Service,

Jon and Cheri Errico often have their hands full serving
the coastal peninsula at the southern tip of New Jersey.
But that doesnt deter their commitment to keeping customers and potential customers fully informed about
the need to maintain and pump their onsite systems in
Cape May County.
On their website and in all of their marketing materials, the Erricos encourage the public to call them

Horsing around
Jon and Cheri Errico took their first plunge into small business when
they became partners in A & C Septic Service in Cape May Court House, New
Jersey, in 2006. Two years later, the couple followed a second path when they
started their own horse breeding business.
Cheri is no newcomer to the stables. The couples two quarter horse
broodmares are stabled in a barn
built by her father four decades
ago, and Cheris love of horses
goes back to her childhood.
Cheris father, Joseph C.
Ruffing, was a general contractor,
and he built his own barn as his
then 8-year-old daughter began
pursuing her dream of raising
horses. She says her parents
loved horses but never bred or
raised them. Even so, they always
supported her. I am forever

quarter horses.
In a way, the pursuit of her
dream also led Cheri to the
altar. She and Jon actually met through several horse events they were both
involved with.
It was a natural fit when we got together, and our horse business has
flourished because of it. People in the horse world will tell you that if you dont
have a partner with the same passion for horses it will never work out. I am
happy to say its worked out very well.
One of the Erricos mares delivered a foal born March 5 sired by a world
champion stallion, Batt Man. Their other mare is due later this year, and they
have a yearling foal stabled in Florida as they try to market it. They focus on
breeding Western Pleasure horses and are active members of the American
Quarter Horse Association and the National Snaffle Bit Association.
Cheri says their decision to keep the equine operation limited in size is
similar to their approach to the septic service business. Again, we want to
keep quality by keeping ourselves directly involved in the business.
She says the couples operations are obviously two very different
businesses, but she notes that there are similar demands for marketing,
customer service and good business practices.

While Jon was handling the work in the field, Cheri was overseeing the
office, a role she was prepared to assume after years of helping in the office of the general contracting business run by her parents, Mary and Joseph
C. Ruffing. Cheris brother took over that business when their father died,
but her mother, now 80, continues to run the office and do the bookkeeping. Cheri was 10 years old when she began answering the phones to help
her mother and says, I learned all my bookkeeping from her, along with all
it takes to keep the business running smoothly. She is an extremely skilled
businesswoman.

Running
two
trucks in a one-man
pumping operation offers flexibility and added capacity during the
busy season, Jon says. Hell fill a truck, then park it while using the
other truck to continue servicing customers.
The couple then decided to expand the business by adding
portable restrooms. The couple had looked over all the restroom
choices at a Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show and decided they would be a good fit.
For the portable restroom operation, the Erricos invested in a 1998
Chevy dually pickup equipped with a 300-gallon waste/125-gallon freshwater KeeVac slide-in vacuum tank and Conde pump (Westmoor Ltd.). For the
delivery of portable restrooms, the company uses an F.M. Manufacturing
Deuce unit that slides into his receiver hitch and carries two units.
A & C owns 32 Aspen units from Five Peaks as well as two Five Peaks
Summit handicapped units and one flushable unit with sink from Satellite
Industries. To keep his units in the field clean and fresh, Jon says he uses
cleaners and deodorants from both J & J Chemical and Surco Portable Sanitation Products.
GroWiNG THe PorTABleS
Jon says the portable restrooms have boosted revenues and helped bolster the traditionally slow period from late January through March. It gets
us over the winter. When things get slow, the portables are still out there.

Each year during those two stalled months,

theres been a steady increase in business, thanks
to them.
Because of a strong response to portable
sanitation offerings, Jon says he is aggressive
about keeping his supply large enough to meet
demand. When they all go out, then I buy more,
he says.
Early demand for restrooms came from the
construction industry. Builders still drive growth,
but the Erricos also keep some in the inventory
for special occasion rentals as well as for seasonal
customers.
We have a couple of farmers markets locally, and weve got a lady with a gallery who is
a good client, says Jon, who handles restroom
placement and cleaning chores.
As well as the portable restroom business
has gone, septic service is still A & Cs mainstay.
Although municipal sewers are expanding their
reach in the Cape May region, Jon says there are
still many homes and businesses throughout the
area using decentralized wastewater systems,
and there is no shortage of demand for their services. He counts a number of small businesses
among his clientele and, because southern Cape
May is a recreational destination, he services a
number of campgrounds regularly.
SMAll SiZe, BiG SerViCe
In addition to some of the outside companies whose trucks piqued Jons interest in the industry, local competition includes one operator
that handles a major share of the market. Two
other local competitors are like his former partner, running one truck each in addition to operating installing businesses.
Because he is smaller than his primary competition, Jon says he focuses on quality of service
rather than being a low-price leader. For the Erricos, consumer education is a path to long-term
success. The key is stressing maintenance and
helping customers keep their systems at peak
performance, he says. Cheri follows the same
principles when customers call the office to request service.
The couple says promoting regular pumping
intervals helps build business, but it also gives
customers the confidence that they will avoid
emergencies they may have experienced in the
past.
As a final touch, Jon says he makes sure he
leaves no trail. When I leave, you cant even see
where Ive been. That approach extends to portable sanitation. I clean all of those units like
theyre my own bathroom.

Easy as A-B-C?

Take the time to figure out how different health care add-on programs can help you and your employees
By Erik Gunn

o youve made the plunge and decided to offer health benefits to your
employees. Or perhaps youve been doing that for a while, but now
youre looking at what revisions you might make.
In either situation, youll have a lot of decisions ahead. One is just which
flavor you might pick from the alphabet soup on the health care plan menu:
HSAs? HRAs? FSAs?
And if your heads spinning already, read on. What are all these things?
And how should you decide whether to include them and if so, which one?

DEFINITIONS
Lets take that first question first.
HSAs, HRAs and FSAs are three different ways of answering the same
questions when it comes to health benefits.
The questions are: How do you keep benefit costs down? How do you
enable employees to get broader coverage? And how do you engage them
directly in thinking about how to spend their health care dollar?
Each of these programs is also aimed at helping employees make sure
they arent taxed on the money they spend directly on health care. Thats an
important benefit. While our annual income tax return allows us to take a
tax deduction on our out-of-pocket health care spending, we only get that
deduction if we spend at least several hundred dollars.
HSAs, HRAs and FSAs are all ways that enable people to ensure their
out-of-pocket medical spending is tax-free from the first penny.
It helps to hold down the employers cost (for health benefits) if they
can pass some of that cost to the employee, says Julie Stich, director of research for the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, based
in Brookfield, Wisconsin. And HSAs, HRAs and FSAs are all ways of making
sure employees take part in paying for their health care while at the same
time providing a financial cushion.
So what do all those letters stand for?
Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) are the oldest of the three. They allow employees to set aside a fixed amount of their pay before taxes into a
special account.
To cover a health care expense not already covered by insurance such
as a deductible or a copayment, or expenses for medications and certain
other health-related products the employee taps the FSA. You can see a
list of expenses that qualify for payment through the FSA at the IRS website.
A tricky aspect of FSAs is that if theres money left over in the account
at the end of the year, you cant keep it and you cant roll it into the account
for next year; its truly a use it or lose it system. To avoid leaving money
on the table, employees have to make a careful calculation as to how much
money they are likely to spend over the year on those unreimbursed health
care costs.

Each of these programs is also aimed at helping

employees make sure they arent taxed on the
money they spend directly on health care. Thats
an important benefit.
Heath reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) provide employees with
tax-free dollars to cover various medical expenses.
One difference is that HRAs dont use the employees money instead,
the employer pays money into the HRA on the employees behalf. The employee can use that money tax-free to cover various expenses that crop up
and arent already covered by the insurance plan.
If money is left in the HRA at the end of the year, it can be rolled over for
the next year, Stich says thats up to the employer. But rolling the money
over isnt required; untapped balances can simply revert back to the company.
Health savings accounts (HSAs) have much more flexibility than either
FSAs or HRAs, but they also come with strings attached of their own.
HSAs are funded mostly by employees through a payroll deduction although they can get contributions from other sources, including employers.
(Usually. Sometimes people transfer money that has already been taxed
into an HSA; in that case, they get the tax benefit in the form of a reduced overall tax bill when they file their tax returns and declare the payment to the HSA.)
A big difference is that unlike HRAs and FSAs, owners of HSAs get to
keep the money from year to year, assuming they have a balance at the end
of the year. More on that in a moment.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
All three kinds of accounts require a health plan in place first, Stich explains. But only HSAs place strict limits on what kind of health plan it must be.
HSAs need to be put in place in conjunction with a high-deductible
health plan, Stich says. To qualify as an HDHP under the law, the policy
must have a deductible of at least $1,300 for single-individual coverage and
$2,600 for family coverage.
HDHPs are becoming more popular with employers, basically because
they have much lower insurance premiums. With them HSAs are becoming
more popular as well.
An FSA or an HRA is literally under the control of the employer (often
delegated to a third-party consultant or institution), while an HSA is under
the employees control. Employees whose banks or financial institutions offer HSAs can simply take their documents showing that their insurance plan
qualifies to the bank, sign up, and then arrange for automatic deposits to the

HSA. The HSA can earn interest like any other investment; accounts can be
placed in federally insured bank accounts or in uninsured but often more
profitable investment accounts.
HSAs also tend to be more popular with employees. According to the
Employee Benefit Research Institute, health plans that qualified for HSAs
had enrolled about 17 million policyholders and their dependents as of the
end of 2014.
Some employers offer employees a choice between an FSA or an HSA,
but for many the HSA-eligible insurance plan is the only option anyway.
HSAs have another reason for being popular, though, Stich notes: The
account holder can keep the money even after retirement, and can keep using it to pay medical expenses that arent otherwise covered. Additionally,
HSAs that have substantial funds in them can become an additional source
of post-retirement income for their account holders although its important to carefully follow the rules about how to convert them to that purpose.
GET HELP
For every employer, figuring out which of these options, if any, will be
best for your business and your workforce requires the advice of a professional who knows your company inside and out. A raft of consultants and
other professionals can advise you on which program will be best suited to
your workforce, your business and your business conditions.
But dont let that intimidate you from delving into the subject. Programs
like HSAs, FSAs and HRAs have become a key part of our health insurance
calculations, and thats guaranteed to continue through the next decade. So
take time to immerse yourself in the ABCs of all of these programs so you can
become that much better prepared to reward your workers while holding
down your health care costs in the years to come.

Microbranding 101

Traditional branding is too pricey for many small businesses. But you can make a name
for yourself with this low-cost marketing technique. By David Frey

f youve ever taken a marketing class or attended a marketing seminar,

the speakers always talk about branding. They say: You have to have a
brand; You need to brand yourself; Branding is your key to success.
But what they dont tell you is how much it costs to actually create a recognizable brand. For small businesses, traditional branding is simply too expensive. Experts say that it takes repeated exposure to your brand over a long
period of time for someone to actually remember it. What small business has
the money to pay for that type of advertising? Very few. So traditional branding is out of the question for most small businesses.
But that does not mean that you cant brand your small company.
Try microbranding
Id like to introduce you to a concept that I call microbranding. Microbranding is the art and science of branding your business to a specific group
of people so you are always on the top of their mind. For instance, lets say
that you sell photocopy machines. Youve determined that law offices are
your best target market. So you do some research and find the top 250 law
offices in Houston, where you live. You do more research and find the names
of the decision-makers for those 250 law offices.
Or maybe your company rents portable restrooms, and you determine
that your best target market is construction contractors. You do the research,
find the top 50 construction companies in your area, and get the names of
their decision-makers.
Now you have a targeted group of people to which you can microbrand
your company and your product or service. So you devise a multi-step marketing program to reach out and get in front of those 250 decision-makers.

And you also devise a plan to stay in touch after you reach out to those 250
people in case they want to do business with you.
Thats microbranding! Any small business can microbrand itself.
The microbranding plan
OK, so heres a sample of what Im talking about. Using the law office
example, heres what I would do:
Step 1: Create a value proposition by dollarizing the amount of savings that my copier can achieve for a law office.
Step 2: Create a two-page special report about my proposition and call
it, Why Youre Losing 23 Cents Right Now for Every Copy You Produce in
Your Law Office (and How to Fix That Problem Immediately).
Step 3: I would also create a few letters, cards and online videos, and
collect any newspaper clippings, magazine articles and positive news stories
I could find about my copier.
Step 4: My next step would be to create an irresistible offer for a paper
cost reduction audit. Note: Now that I have my value proposition, marketing
materials and my irresistible offer in place, its time to start reaching out to
the 250 decision-makers.
Step 5: I would start calling the decision-makers, one by one, introduce
myself, and ask them if I could send them a special report.
Step 6: For those that I simply could not get ahold of, I would email
them to ask if I could send them my special report.
Step 7: I would next send them cards and letters offering my special
report. Basically, I would do everything I could to get the special report in
their hands as a first step.
Step 8: Once they got the special report, I would start following up with
them religiously by phone, email and direct mail asking for an appointment
to do a paper cost reduction audit.
Step 9: After I have talked to them, sent them the report and followed up
with them, I would put them on a monthly testimonial card campaign. A
testimonial card is a greeting card or postcard with the photo of a loyal customer and a paragraph about how they have benefited from your product or
service in their own words. The card also gives your irresistible offer. (Always
give your irresistible offer. Always!)
Step 10: Continue to follow up with the decision-makers via email,
phone and cards. You never know when they will have a change of heart or
circumstances and need your service.

regulations of potential broad interest to onsite

States, Ontario Agree to Reduce

Lake Erie Phosphorus Levels
By Doug Day

ichigan, Ohio and Ontario, Canada, have signed a joint agreement

to reduce phosphorus in the western Lake Erie basin by 40 percent
by 2025. The chemical is blamed for algae blooms that degrade
water quality in the lake, including one last year that cut off water supplies
to about 400,000 people around Toledo and southeast Michigan. Ohio has
already passed a new law banning spreading manure and other fertilizers
on frozen ground. Michigan, which regulates the practice, will be looking
at prohibiting the practice as well. Leaders of the two states and Canadian
province signed the Western Basin of Lake Erie Collaborative Agreement in
June. It calls for them to develop independent plans and timelines to meet
the 40 percent goal, with an interim goal of a 20 percent reduction by 2020.
California
As the state suffers through a fourth year of drought, the California
Onsite Water Association is publicly backing a bill to establish water quality standards for recycling wastewater for use in internal plumbing of residential and commercial buildings. The measure, AB 1463, would promote
the use of graywater, rainwater and other water captured on site for things
like flushing toilets and urinals. It would require the state Water Resources
Control Board to establish distribution, monitoring and reporting requirements. It would not include water from toilets, sewers or onsite wastewater
systems unless the board establishes requirements for that water necessary
to protect public health, safety and the environment, according to the text
of the bill.
In a letter to bill sponsor Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Glendale),
COWA states, Increasing the usage of recycled water for non-potable purposes is one way Californians can use water more efficiently and has the potential to play a significant role in our ability to maximize the sustainable
yield for the waters of this state, a most precious resource.
Saying it is vital to reduce barriers to onsite water-recycling systems,
COWA also called for allowing the use of water-saving technologies. We encourage legislation that directs agencies to work together to break down the
overly conservative barriers to reuse that currently exist within our state. Our
reuse laws were originally drafted many years ago, before the 30-plus years
of technological advances in this rapidly changing industry.
COWA also says it supports more opportunities to reuse black water.
Michigan
A failed septic system has forced 33 families to find new places to live
after their mobile home park decided to close rather than hook up to the
municipal sewer system. The Village On the Lake mobile home park in
White Lake was ordered to either connect to the sewer system or vacate the

32

Pumper October 2015

property in a consent decree with the Oakland County Health Department.

Township officials say it would have cost $400,000 to bring sewer service to the park. The owner decided to close the mobile home park after telling residents they either had to move or start paying $2,000 a month in rent,
which was about $500 per lot.
Health Department officials, who regularly monitor mobile home
parks, noticed standing water on the property earlier this year and found it
was contaminated water from the septic drainfield. It now appears the property will be the location of a new hotel, conference center and restaurants.
Hawaii
A bill to provide tax credits for replacing cesspools has been signed by
Hawaii Gov. David Ige. The last state still allowing new cesspool construction, Hawaii will provide up to $10,000 in tax credits for converting to a
septic system or aerobic treatment unit, or connecting to a sewer system.
With about 90,000 cesspools in use and 800 new ones each year, the Department of Health has long faced opposition to a ban. It issued rules in 2014 to
require the conversion of cesspools upon sale of property but couldnt get
then-Gov. Neil Abercrombie to sign them before he left office. So far, legislative efforts to ban cesspools have not succeeded, and a bill to do so appears
to have stalled this year.
The tax credit is good through 2020, with priority going to homes near
drinking water wells and within 200 feet of shorelines, streams and wetlands.
Maryland
The Maryland Board of Public Works has approved $14 million in grant
funding to help upgrade septic systems in rural parts of the state. The money
comes from the Bay Restoration Fund and is aimed at reducing the amount of
nitrogen discharged to the Chesapeake Bay. Financial assistance for homes
and businesses is based on a sliding income scale to cover up to 50 percent of
the cost to replace a failing septic system. The funds can also be used for new
construction. The program is administered by the states 23 counties with a
focus on upgrading systems located in critical areas those within 1,000 feet
of tidal waters, wetlands and tributaries that drain into the bay.
Arizona
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has requested
feedback about the future of its required inspection rules when properties
change ownership. Current rules require an inspection within six months
prior to transferring ownership. A department memo requested input about
eliminating the state program or transitioning responsibility to interested
counties over 12 to 18 months. ADEQ has said it doesnt have the staff or

funding to properly administer the Notice of Transfer program, and there

when it will make a decision.
Rhode Island
As of Jan. 1, 2016, existing cesspools in Rhode Island will have to be
replaced within 12 months of a property changing hands. The state banned
new cesspools in 1968, but 25,000 of them are still in use. A new law requires
the replacement of cesspools with approved septic systems or sewer
connections when a property is sold or ownership changes, other than
between immediate family members. Low-interest loans and waivers will
be available for low-income property owners.

Derek Pauling
When Biffs Inc. owners Mike and Diana Pauling were ready to pass their
company in Minnesotas
Twin Cities on to their children, Heather and Derek,
the family dealt with these
tough and sensitive issues
head on. In addition to
lawyers and accountants,
they worked with a management consultant who
helped them keep the lines of communication open, work through emotions
and figure out roles, responsibilities and timelines. They then proceeded
through the process in a slow, methodical and transparent fashion.
Working out of a 4-acre facility in Shakopee, Minnesota, Biffs serves a
50-mile radius around Minneapolis and St. Paul. Staffing fluctuates seasonally, but theres about 30 drivers, eight shop and yard technicians and mechanics, and 20 office personnel. Derek serves as president and CFO, and
Heather as vice president and COO, but Derek Pauling says theyre teamoriented in their decision-making.

acquisitions. At one time they had five Twin Cities

In 1997 Biffs became more of a family business as Mike bought out his
partners, Diana started working full time, and Derek graduated from college
and came on board, joining sister Heather who had done so in 1994.

From 1997 to 2008 they made a few more acquisitions, started a rolloff container division (sold in 2014) and began offering storage containers
through a third party. Diana retired in 2009, and Heather and Derek became
more involved in day-to-day management. This year Mike stepped aside and
handed over the reins.
CHANGiNG HANDS
Derek Pauling gives a lot of credit to his father for helping smooth the
way for the change in ownership by being willing to let go. But it was tough
at first, he says. It wasnt
because of us, but when
youve built your own
company and youre used
to making all the decisions and then someone
else is making the decisions, you want to interject yourself into everything.
The legalities were
straightforward. Its just
a standard buyout, Pauling says. We have a note
with our parents that
were paying on. The
shareholder agreement
was a little more complicated. We each have two kids, and were trying
to look out for when theyre older, what is the process for having them involved.
The more difficult aspect of the buyout involved emotional issues, giving up control and how to divvy up the responsibilities. To help them, the
Paulings brought in Melissa Albers from The Authentic Leader, a manage-

ment consultant who had worked with the company from 2005 to 2008. She
helped them set up a process in which the siblings began to take more and
more control over a three-year period, allowing Mike to become comfortable with them as managers.
Albers worked with Heather and Derek on how to split up management
duties, be better leaders and work effectively together, viewing their different personality styles as a source of strength she being more introverted
and detail-oriented, and he being the relationship builder and generalist.
Pauling says another big part of the successful transition was including the companys leaderleft: Troy Krueger, field service

Help when you need it

Sometimes a company wants to offer a service to its customers, but it just
doesnt make economic sense. One solution Derek and Heather Pauling, owners of
Biffs Inc., have found is working with third parties.
For example, for event service they like offering on-site attendants to keep
portable restrooms and luxury trailers stocked and clean. We used to do our own
attendant work, but what we discovered is staffing is difficult because we dont
have enough hours for our guys to do it, and if we hire people off the street you dont
have the professional image, Derek Pauling says. They contracted with The Vanella
Group to provide the service and it turned into a win-win for everyone.
When they started offering storage-container rentals in 2005 they contracted
with Dart Portable Storage to provide the units, giving customers one-stop shopping
and billing. Its more of a value-add service that we provide for these people, and
they love it, Pauling says.
The company doesnt outsource their pickup and delivery work, but they are
experimenting with using third-party delivery trucks in the summer rather than buying
vehicles every year to accommodate the seasonal spike in business. In 2015 they
rented four Chevy 3500 and Ford F-350 flatbeds from Enterprise Commercial Rental
and outfitted them with Satellite 300-gallon waste/150-gallon freshwater slide-in
tanks. At the end of the season the trucks can be purchased or simply returned.
Were trying to be responsible with our spending, Pauling says. This way we
dont have any cash going out the door. And if theres a hiccup in the economy were
not putting ourselves out there.

can to empower all our managers to help us make decisions and follow our
core values.
Some of those core values were established a long time ago by his father. My dad always said its about protecting the health, welfare and dignity of those recreating and working in the field. We basically live by that.
Everybody deserves clean facilities.
Paulings advice about family succession: Dont rush the process. You
need to have employees on board and you have to have all your ducks in a
row as far as going through these tough conversations, because they can be
heated. Some people might have emotional pieces to it, and certainly my
parents did. Its hard to let go. If you think this happened overnight, youre
mistaken.

waste/350-gallon freshwater steel tanks. The others are Internationals with
900- to 1,500-gallon waste/300- to 500-gallon freshwater mostly steel tanks,
and Chevrolets with 700-gallon waste/300-gallon freshwater steel tanks, all
built out by Satellite. Pumps are from Masport and Conde (Westmoor Ltd.).
All have trailer hitches and fold-down racks to haul two units.
Routing of their 5,000 to 5,500 services a week (7,000 in the summer)
is done with the help of Roadnet Technologies software. Each night from 4
p.m. to midnight, a routing specialist works with the program to plan the
next days schedule, which is then uploaded to the cloud. The next day, drivers log onto the system using smartphones, and the system voice-navigates
them through their day (in English or Spanish). Information is fed back to
the system so everyone can see where a driver is at all times. It took a couple
years to smooth out all the bumps and get everyone trained, Pauling says,
but its amazing.
CoMPANY iNNoVATioNS
Biffs is always looking for ways to improve processes and procedures,
and that often means designing things themselves. For example, in the
1990s Diana Pauling focused on systems development and worked with a
third party to build their own customer management and billing program
they called WIZZEN. Its been in use since, although Heather will soon look
to replace it with a customizable, out-of-the-box program that melds nicely
with Roadnet.
All vacuum trucks are outfitted with the companys proprietary cleaning system called The Pathfinder developed by Biffs in 2012 with Ecolab. The

system replaces the bucket and scrub brush with

a company-designed power washer/disinfectant
two-position wand. Derek Pauling says units get
cleaner and smell better, service is faster, and
technicians are happier. That was an innovation
we brought to our company, he says. Now its
just a standard that we disinfect every surface.
Another company-developed system is
their brine and methanol process used to prevent holding tanks from freezing in Minnesotas
severe winters. We developed our own system
that will handle the volume we need, Pauling
says. From November to March we mix 10,000
pounds of salt into brine every other day. The
amount of salt can be adjusted anywhere from
a 1/4 pound per gallon of water to 2 pounds. If
the temperature goes below zero, an automated
system adds an appropriate amount of methanol based on the 10-day weather forecast. Technicians put salt pellets in urinals to prevent the
solution from becoming diluted by customer use.
To improve driver performance and morale they developed an incentive program based
on two factors drivers are assessed against on
a monthly basis the quality of their cleaning
as determined by a quality-assurance manager
and a comparison of their actual route times
versus estimated. If they meet or exceed those
criteria their hourly pay goes up for the month.
Its been pretty exciting for the guys, Pauling
says. Its a different style of managing them rewarding them instead of getting down on them.
Those not meeting the criteria are counseled on
how to improve.
Well-PoSiTioNeD for THe fUTUre
As they come up on the 30-year mark, Pauling feels the company is on solid footing after the
transition with all parties on board. Right now
I dont think weve ever been in a spot this good
with our staffing and how people feel the company is going.
The siblings like to keep their parents updated on whats going on. We call it the elders
meetings, Pauling says. A fireside chat among
me, my wife (Jennifer, a preschool teacher who
works part time for the company), Heather and
our parents.
Heather and Derek are grateful to their parents for the huge amount of effort they put into
building the business, giving them a successful
company to inherit. When my dad started this
he did everything himself routes, repair, billing,
sales, Pauling says. The two of them have just
worked so hard over the last 29 years. It wouldnt
be going into the second generation without their
efforts of building something so amazing.

Foremost, Transwest
promote cold-weather
hydroexcavator
By Craig Mandli

anadian hydroexcavator manufacturer Foremost has partnered with

Colorado-based heavy truck distributor Transwest to enhance U.S.
marketing efforts.
The Foremost 1600 Hydrovac, with its distinctive doghouse, drew plenty of onlookers at the 2015 Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment &
Transport (WWETT) Show.
The 1600 is designed to work effectively in temperatures down to minus 40 degrees, says Tim Dell, vacuum systems sales manager for Foremost.
Not only is the doghouse insulated and heated, all external valves are, too.
The heating options are a must in most Canadian climates, and we think this
unit is going to be a good fit for the northern states in the U.S. as well.
The 1600 Hydrovac has a water capacity of 1,600 gallons and a 13-yard
debris body. Vacuum power is supplied by the Robuschi RB-DV125 blower.
The model also uses a Cat 3560 wash pump and 740,000 Btu boiler. The boom
is rear-mounted, 8 inches in diameter, fully rotational and controlled by an
Omnex wireless controller, which also controls the vehicle rpm and wash
and vacuum functions. All off-loading functions can also be performed via
the remote.
The remote functionality enables one person to operate this unit if
needed, says Dell. That saves on manpower costs, making the unit more
appealing to municipalities and private contractors.
Off-loading is aided by a sloped debris floor design and washout system. The dump door is 48 by 58 inches, designed for easier cleaning. Optional 4-inch Hydratech off-loading pump systems are available to cleanly
and effectively discharge liquid loads.
Dell recommends the 1600 for municipal and industrial settings, and
says its smaller footprint makes it an ideal fit for remote mining and util-

oil and gas and utility markets as well.
The partnership with Transwest will make marketing more convenient
for Foremost products, Dell says. He says the 1600 is the focus of the initial
marketing campaign, with more to come in the future.
Partnering with a company like Transwest that understands the U.S.
market is big for us, he says. Canada has a more mature hydroexcavation
market. We are already seeing increased interest, and thats causing us to
take a look at what were offering in the U.S.
Next year, Dell says he hopes to bring several of Foremosts hydrovac
options to the WWETT Show, including a model with fewer heating options
designed for the southern states and a miniature urban model offering
even more maneuverability.
Judging by the response Ive seen at the 2015 show, were definitely
coming back bigger and better, says Dell. Hydroexcavation is really starting to take off in the U.S., and were going to be involved. 855/742-9990;

A Broader Mission

California pumpers and installers take the waste out of wastewater in their organizations
name to promote solutions to the states ongoing water crisis By Doug Day

alifornia is running out of water, and the states onsite wastewater industry is poised to be a part of the long-term solution. Mark Adams
is looking forward to the challenge as the president of COWA. While
using the same acronym, the group has dropped the word waste from
its name. Now the California Onsite Water Association, it is looking more
broadly at the issue of reusing and conserving water.
While much of the West has seen abnormally dry weather for several
years, California is in the midst of a four-year drought called the worst since
recordkeeping began in the 1800s. The state declared a drought emergency
in January 2014 and has since instituted many water-use regulations, and all
communities have been ordered to reduce use by at least 25 percent.
The new direction for COWA comes as the man
with a vision of a broader focus retires from the organization. Kit Rosefield was the face of the group for
the last seven years as the lead trainer and coordinator of education and training. His wife, Evelyn, who
was responsible for the day-to-day operation of the
group, has also retired. Filling the void with Adams is
Nick Weigel, who takes on the lead trainer role as well
as administration and treasurer.

Mark Adams can be

A recent poll found that water and the drought
reached at 530/893are considered the most important issues in the
state by 39 percent of people, and 69 percent say 1600 ext. 205, or
water supply is a big problem in their area. Water [email protected].
must be a daily topic of conversation in California.
Adams: You have no idea. Theres really a driving force to look at all aspects of water, not just wastewater. A few years ago, Kit and I spent a lot of time
brainstorming about the future and came to the conclusion that as an organization and representatives of an industry, we need to look beyond wastewater.
We represent about 200 designers, installers, pumpers, regulators and
service providers. Now, the membership is starting to come from the other
aspects of water. You can take a lot of the same tools we use for wastewater and apply them to graywater and stormwater to reuse, reclaim, restore
keeping water on the site and getting it back into the soil.
How is that changing COWA?
Adams: Were trying to integrate with other people like the graywater
crowd. They made terrific inroads in Sacramento (the state capital) so were
trying to combine our efforts so we can effect some change to the regulations.
COWA and Occidental Arts and Ecology Center co-hosted the Localizing California Waters Conference last November. Our two organizations have
supported the formation of the Decentralized Water Policy Council (DWPC)
with experts in all aspects of water including county regulators, academia
and stakeholders across the state to increase the ability to reuse and conserve

water with effective, integrated water management. There are policy groups
addressing graywater, rain and stormwater, black water, and a group looking
at things like composting toilets. Each is putting together a white paper talking about where things are now and making recommendations on how we
can move ahead to most effectively change policy in each area. We will put
those into an action plan to take to the regulators. You can find out more by
visiting oaec.org/water/why-california-is-localizing-its-water.
California has had graywater regulations since the 1990s, but nobody
took advantage of them because they were so tough. About six years ago
there was an effort to loosen them, but the regulators said it wasnt safe. An
inventory showed that there were just a few hundred permitted graywater
systems but estimated that there could be as many as a million actual graywater systems in use. They couldnt find any health hazard, so the state decided that maybe it wasnt a problem and updated the rules. Now systems are
going in all over the place.
COWA believes these graywater systems are just as important as

so were trying to show that technology has improved so there are
other ways to monitor effectiveness of the treatment systems.
Updating policies could save up to 14 million acre-feet per year. Thats
35 percent of annual water use in California and the equivalent of the water
used by all of Californias cities in a year.
We have 58 counties, throw in all the regional water-quality control
boards and a few other agencies they all have their unique rules and regulations. Water is getting very, very expensive in California, and some agencies are spending 10 times what they spent a few years ago for water. So there
(continued)

are definitely areas where it becomes economical to save every drop possible and reuse it. Were trying to get some consistency that would allow us
to put in systems that take advantage of all the water on a site.
Do you have an example of what that might look like?
Adams: Were working with a school in a pretty arid region. They need
a lot of water for the buildings and the land, and have an onsite treatment
system. They arent taking advantage of the effluent and are pulling water
from a local creek and the watershed. If we take a holistic look, we can capture rainwater, reuse the wastewater and modify the landscape to lessen the
need for water. The result can be that we can put water back into the stream
that supports an endangered fish species. The school is really excited about
it and wants to integrate it into its curriculum for students.
How is this affecting pumpers?
Adams: Not a whole lot; theyre being affected more on where and how
they can dispose of septage. There are fewer locations and the regulations
are getting more restrictive, the cost is going up, and theyre having to haul
grease farther. A lot of pumpers are also system evaluators, so they are benefiting from some areas requiring systems to be evaluated at time of sale and
tanks assessed on a more regular basis. Some communities now have operation permits for systems, and I wouldnt be surprised to see more of that,
which will be an advantage to the pumpers.
How is this affecting installers?
Adams: It should open up new opportunities for our installers. The
skills and technology for graywater reuse, black water treatment and reuse,
rainwater catchment, dispersal to the site, etc., are all very similar to those
that our installers have already mastered.

56

Pumper October 2015

Is this as daunting as it sounds?

Adams: No kidding. We have a bill going through our state Legislature
right now to make it easier to reuse graywater within a building. Its a sixmonth to one-year process just to make that one little change and nobody
opposes it.
Do you think California will end up, as it often does, as the trendsetter in water reuse?
Adams: Were seeing some leadership come out of individual communities, which is really interesting because it will impact the decentralized
wastewater world. But there is some leadership coming from centralized
water. The City of San Francisco is looking to mandate that all new construction be required to treat and reuse wastewater for things like toilet or urinal
flushing. Our Department of Transportation has a pilot project testing the
feasibility of this at a rest area. So we have a couple of larger agencies that are
pretty inspired to start pushing the envelope. These are examples of decentralized technology in a very urban environment.
COWA is trying to represent a lot more people. Membership, a lot of
times, is driven by a requirement for continuing education and training, and
thats what weve provided for the state. Thats why COWA started: We were
convinced there was a lack of education about decentralized water and that
better decisions could be made if education was provided. Thats still what
were trying to do as an organization. The state has come to us for advice
because they realize we know more about how to run these systems.
For me personally, its a pretty exciting time. I like to think about the
future and brainstorm and try to visualize ideal outcomes. Were really ripe
for change here.
So I think California could be leading the nation and showing how we
can do this safely and effectively. We have to.

Lagoon Maintenance Refresher Course

Following a recent review about lagoon design and construction, lets talk about monitoring
the treatment system for effective performance By Jim Anderson, Ph.D.

few months ago I responded to a readers question about the use and
maintenance of individual sewage lagoons to treat septic tank effluent. I covered lagoon functions, construction and design, and offered
some ideas about necessary maintenance. Since then I have looked back
at some of the materials available through U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency design manuals and some of the Consortium of Institutes for Decentralized Wastewater Treatment (CIDWT) materials developed in 2005.
Both address needed maintenance for individual facultative lagoons.
As a refresher, facultative lagoons are 5 to 8 feet deep and designed
primarily on organic loading estimates using BOD5. Treatment is accomplished by bacterial action in an upper aerobic layer and a lower anaerobic
layer. This explains why they are called facultative lagoons, because both
aerobic and anaerobic processes are involved in the treatment of effluent.
Oxygen is provided in the upper layer by exchange with the atmosphere
through mixing with wind and photosynthesis on the part of algae and other
floating organisms at the lagoon surface. They are designed large enough to
accommodate organic loading for a long retention time and at a low enough
rate for the surface area to ensure the presence of the aerobic condition.

STEP-BY-STEP EVALUATION
As I indicated in the previous article, lagoons require berms that are at
least 2 feet higher than the operating level and they need a buffer area void
of trees and shrubs that would inhibit air movement across the lagoon. This
means the area taken up by the system can become quite large. One of the
maintenance requirements is to keep the trees and shrubs removed as well
as periodically checking to see if there is evidence of seepage or compromise
to the berm.
Ill share a step-by-step approach to lagoon maintenance outlined in
the CIDWT Operation and Maintenance manual. If there is more than one
cell in the system, each should be looked at separately. For treatment facilities I regularly see multiple cells, while individual residential systems
generally have only one cell. Regardless, the cells should be looked at the
same way.
As with most onsite treatment systems, our nose and eyes offer some
of the best tools to evaluate how the system is working. Strong rotten egg
odors would indicate the system is totally anaerobic, which points to a sizing
and design problem or perhaps an improper inlet or outlet. Color can also
indicate problems but should be considered cautiously because there will
be periodic turnovers and algal blooms. Green versus brown color could indicate excessive algae using all the oxygen. Purple colors indicate anaerobic
and perhaps toxic bacteria.

As with most onsite treatment systems, our nose and

eyes offer some of the best tools to evaluate how the
system is working. Strong rotten egg odors would
indicate the system is totally anaerobic, which points
to a sizing and design problem or perhaps an improper
inlet or outlet.
The surface should be free of large, floating materials. As outlined in the
previous article, prevention of large, floating materials should be taken care
of in the pretreatment or septic tank part of the system. If solids accumulate
in the lagoon, they will have to be removed by pumping.
BERM BASICS
Berms should be at least 4 feet wide on top so they can be walked on
and inspected for any erosion, leaks or animal burrows. If found, these conditions should be addressed immediately to avoid berm failure. Animals
should be removed, leaks plugged and eroded areas replaced and reseeded.
Berms should be grass-covered and mowed, both to discourage animals and
to make the site more aesthetically pleasing. There should be fencing to keep
animals and people out; any gates should be locked and secure. Of course,
the fence needs to be maintained.
There should not be any vegetation in the lagoon. There may be cattails
or other plants around the edge as long as the surface area is free and the
vegetation does not block inlets or outlets.
Lagoon depth and the operating level below the top of the berm must
comply with state or local regulations. If the level is too high, outlets should
be checked. It is also important to evaluate if there is a structure at the outlet
to control the water level. If so, this can be adjusted.
Effluent quality in the surface discharge should be regularly evaluated
to determine system performance. This includes looking at dissolved oxygen, pH, clarity and temperature, and any other parameters required by the
permit. When samples are taken, it is important to follow the prescribed procedures required by the regulatory authority or the laboratory where they
will be analyzed. This may involve understanding and following chain of
custody requirements and filing the required reports. Make sure you understand these requirements when evaluating these systems.

The White Glove Test

Pre-trip truck inspections are critical for pumpers to operate safely and efficiently
By Doug Day

ou leave the yard with a busy schedule of pumping jobs for the day.
Those flashing lights in your rearview mirror are sure to put you
behind but you hope it will be quick as you pull over. Youve been
stopped because your blinker is out and that means your truck stays right
where it is until the blinker is fixed.
Rather than taking a few minutes to replace a $2 lightbulb, youre miles
away from the shop with no transportation because you didnt take the time
to complete a pre-trip inspection.
Vehicle inspections are not only important for safety, they can save a
company money and time, according to Joe Zito, an educator and officer
in a commercial vehicle unit for a major metropolitan area police department with jurisdiction
in two states. In his 25 years of law enforcement,
Zito has 15 years of roadside experience inspecting commercial vehicles.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
state that the driver of a commercial vehicle must:
Be satisfied the motor vehicle is in safe operating condition.
Review the last vehicle inspection report.
Sign the report only if noted defects and
deficiencies were certified as having been corrected or as not requiring correction.
Zito spoke on the topic of truck inspections Reach Joe Zito at
[email protected].
at the 2015 Water & Wastewater Equipment,
Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show. We delve
deeper into his advice that will be of service to the pumping community:
Pumper: What is necessary for a proper pre-trip inspection?
Zito: Drivers have to meet the inspection requirements dealing with lights,
emergency equipment, securing the load those things in Section 396 of
CFR49 (Code of Federal Regulations). Its not just routine; the drivers need
training and education and have to know what theyre looking for. They
should be looking at every aspect of that vehicle. Its not just looking at a
checklist and checking boxes. There is a difference between compliance and
being compliant.

Pumper: They sound like the same thing; whats the difference?
Zito: Compliance is saying, Heres the regulation, were going to comply.
Being compliant means constantly training and always knowing theyre
meeting the regulations and why theyre meeting them. The driver has a responsibility, and the company has a responsibility.
Drivers should want to make sure they are operating a safe vehicle for
the motoring public around them, and that they are getting into a safe ve-

hicle so they can come home safely at the end of the day.
Performing good pre-trip inspections is going to cut the companys
costs and downtime: having a truck placed out of service, or being stuck with
a flat tire, or having a service company come out to do repairs on the side of
the road, or towing the truck.
Pumper: How long should an inspection take?
Zito: Theres no way a pre-trip inspection is going to take a few minutes.
On average, it should take 10 to 15 minutes. Select a safe location on level
ground away from other moving vehicles. Keep the key in your pocket and
use wheel chocks for safety prior to going under any part of the vehicle. They
should wear appropriate safety equipment like a vest, gloves and eye protection. Look for leaks or fluids on the ground when approaching the vehicle,
any visible damage, unsecured cargo, and if the vehicle is leaning or sagging
to one side. Then conduct a complete walk-around of the vehicle.
Pumper: What do drivers commonly miss?
Zito: First, they fail to check that their emergency equipment is there, like
fire extinguishers and triangles. Theyre not bending over and checking leaf
springs, and they miss lamps. But generally, its not completing an overall inspection; they look at some part
of it but dont complete all parts
of the inspection.
Safety has greatly

improved. Out-ofservice rates are a very

small percent and going
down. Companies have
become more compliant
and increased their safety
and overall
performance.
Joe Zito

Pumper: When a commercial

vehicle is stopped for a random
roadside inspection, what does
that entail?
Zito: About 4 million roadside
inspections are done every year.
They can be done anywhere at
any time and take from 15 to 60
minutes depending on the level
of inspection, which is up to the
inspector. There are three levels: One, driver, vehicle, brakes;
Two, driver, vehicle; and driver
and credentials.

Pumper: Which violations are commonly found in roadside inspections?

Zito: Mostly lamps, brakes and securing the load. Not just cargo, it could be
an empty water bottle, trash on the side of the truck, a driver forgot to secure
a vacuum hose anything that could fall off the vehicle. Brakes are the No. 1

source of vehicles being placed out of service. No. 2 is tires, with half of those
related to underinflation. No. 3 is lighting, stop lamps being the most common and turn signals next on the list. If a good pre-trip inspection is done,
fewer violations are going to be found in a roadside inspection.
Pumper: What does out of service mean to the company and driver?
Zito: The truck, or the driver if its a license issue, cannot operate until the
defect has been corrected. If you have a 100-mile trip and are stopped 50
miles from your destination, youre out of luck. And its not something the
inspector can change. By not having a good pre-trip inspection, having
that downtime is definitely going to cause cost to the company; having to
send another driver, having to call for roadside service or having the vehicle
towed, its an added expense.
Pumper: Whats your advice for drivers during a roadside inspection?
Zito: Always be honest, never lie. Do exactly what the inspector says and
have a good attitude, dont be negative. Leave your seat belt on until the
inspector approaches you and have your paperwork in order. Having the
driver trained on what is needed in a roadside inspection is going to make
the outcome more positive.
Pumper: After doing this for 15 years, what are your thoughts about safety?
Zito: Safety has greatly improved. Out-of-service rates are a very small percent and going down. Companies have become more compliant and increased their safety and overall performance.

Option one
In option one the assignment is to build a short story around the two
photographs (found at the NAWT website). A homeowner is meeting with
the septic professional to discuss why his system is not working properly
as indicated by a floating manhole riser. The story should include why the
system may have gotten that way and what will need to be done.
Information provided in the short story should be referenced to
websites or articles where the information can be found. You can change or
enhance the photos and be creative about how the story is told. It can be a
written story (no more than 1,500 words).
Option two
Using these same two photographs, create a short video that could
serve as a public service announcement that could relate to homeowners
on how to avoid having this problem. A video, cartoon, etc., is acceptable.
Be creative!
All applications for the scholarship must be completed by you, the
applicant, and returned by postal service or email with the form to the
NAWT office.

case studies
Software SyStem
optimizeS Service callS
Problem: The Skid-o-Kan portable restroom service in Texas needed to automate its daily
route mapping. With an average of 2,000 units placed on job sites, the task of dispatching service for 20 daily routes some with 300 stops was too cumbersome to route
manually. Locations without physical addresses had to be marked on key map books with
detailed instructions. The company needed a more efficient way to route and dispatch calls
as well as record and report billing.
Solution: The company implemented Pointof-Rental Software with integrated GPS
service and mapping software. Locations that
dont have physical addresses are marked by
GPS and automatically mapped. Point-of-Rental uploads turn-by-turn directions directly to a
phone or in-cab unit, eliminating the need for
paperwork. Service-call frequencies are set up
in the software and routed by truck, route or stops. With GPS integration, the software automatically updates the truck location so the dispatcher can view progress. Using a mobile
phone or tablet, the technician marks each serviced unit with a date/time stamp and GPS
location, providing accurate information for monthly or 28-day billing cycles.
Result: Using the software, service call routes are optimized for efficiency. In addition, the
integrated mobile service provides accurate billing information showing the date and time
of service. Were definitely more efficient now, says Will Puryear, office manager at Skido-Kan. With a business like ours, every mile counts, and the less miles we need to drive,
the more money we make. 800/944-7368; www.point-of-rental.com.

mobile and web technology makeS

greaSe buSineSS more efficient
Problem: All American Grease Services crafted plans to substantially grow. The companys controller, Bobbie Breaux, knew operational inefficiencies would pose challenges.
Solution: Breaux was referred to Web App Express, which delivered a comprehensive
Web and mobile software system that takes care of every aspect of the companys operations, including scheduling drivers, work and routes, and report writing.
Result: Manual processes and paper have been almost completely eliminated, and drivers are more productive. In the past, we printed out tickets for drivers. Today, they use an
intuitive mobile app. Drivers worried about moving to the new system, Breaux remembers,
but the app is so easy to use and saves so much time that now you cant get it away
from them. Before they were inundated with paper. Now they just use a tablet. Customers
get invoices more quickly, and they are more accurate. The system allows customers to
remotely view service and scheduling-related data, as desired. Its a big winner for us,
Breaux says. Processes that took days are now done in minutes and integrate with our
accounting software, making it seamless. 800/699-4840; www.webappexpress.com.

Squeegee,
By Ed Wodalski
crumbing bladeS
reduce backfill time,
eliminate bucket teeth markS
Squeegee and crumbing Grade Blades from Halls Grade Blade are designed
to reduce backfill and cleanup time, and eliminate teeth marks and the need to
rake, shovel, spread sand or run a compactor. The blades fit any bucket size or
brand of backhoe loader and mini-excavator.
The squeegee blade is available in sizes from 29 to 72 inches wide for 12- to
36-inch-wide buckets, and features 30-degree wings for increased material control. The blades slide over the teeth of the bucket and attach securely with a chain.
I had backhoes, mini-excavators and big-track excavators, says Bill Hall,
Grade Blades inventor and an Iowa excavating contractor for 35 years. Ive seen
people using pipe with slits cut in it for the teeth to level things out. Ive seen
people, myself included, with boards wired on so I didnt have to run back to the
shop and convert to a toothless bucket.
Custom-fit excavator squeegee blades are available in 4-, 6-, 8- and 10-foot
widths and require no tools to install. The excavator blades are made from 1/2inch abrasive-resistant steel on the front and 1/2-inch hot-roll steel. All excavator
crumbing blades and squeegees have a T-120 cutting edge.
I originally came out with one model, and now Ive got two different concepts, he
says. You never have to chase that windrow. That takes time, and time is money.
Designed for digging smooth-bottom trenches, the wingless crumbing blades are
available in five sizes (12-, 18-, 24-, 30- and 36-inch widths) and install in 60 seconds. Excavator crumbing blades are available in 19 sizes in 23- to 60-inch widths.
On septic system installations we use the crumbing blades so you dont
leave teeth marks, Hall says. We install sand filters in Iowa. You have to have a
smooth-bottom ditch. With the crumbing blade you save time when you dig to the
proper grade because you dont need a laborer with a rake and compactor.
Additional blade applications include building demolition, swimming pool installations, laying water mains and grading racetracks.
In northern states when you use it in the wintertime or in southern states if you
use it on concrete for cleaning, you should have a cutting edge, Hall says.
If you dont have it, the only maintenance I would suggest is once a year during
the winter to reweld the seams of the squeegee blade. 319/470-3033;

2014 Restroom SR 30x10: $45,900.

This is a BRAND-NEW 10-station executive restroom trailer. This trailer sits on
our patented SoftRide air-ride suspension that cushions the ride while towing, thus preserving your investment for
years to come. The most enticing feature is the GOLO feature that drops the
trailer all the way to the ground at your
events, giving it a modular appearance.
No stairs needed as your first step will
be directly into the trailer. This trailer is
100% aluminum. No steel is used which
causes rust over time. We also built
this trailer without using any wood. You
wont need to worry about your wood
rotting over time. Rust and wood rot are
the 2 biggest complaints that restroom
trailer operators have. We've eliminated
that problem with our trailer.
