Backflow Testing Changes 

 

Citizens Energy Group has developed a partnership with ArchonSafe to automate backflow device test reporting.  As of April 22nd test reports must be submitted through the ArchonSafe website or through the mobile portal.  Beginning August 1 there will be a $4.95 charge for each backflow test device.  That fee rate goes to $9.95 per submittal on January 1, 2015.   Citizens Energy contacted the Landscape and Irrigation groups prior to the rollout, however, this program includes ALL backflow test reports including fire protection, domestic, commercial, industrial, etc., for all of Citizens Energy Groups' water service areas.

 

 If you have questions about the program contact ArchonSafe at 1-800-288-5969.

 Message From The President
Brian Lebo, President
Dear Friends,
I want to start my first president's letter with a word of thanks.  Thanks, to Dave Nance for his leadership over the past 2 years.  Dave, you did an outstanding job!  Thanks also to the balance of the GIPHCC board for their involvement and personal sacrifice. 
 
Thanks, to all who have expressed words of encouragement to me as I now begin to fill this office.  Thanks, to past leaders of this organization who have labored to build what is now a meaningful influence in our industry.  Thanks for all those who have played a role in my personal and professional development through the years.  And a special thanks to my wife; she is definitely the better half.
 
The GIPHCC is a strong organization.  It is filled with partnerships and friendships.  It is filled with people who care about their communities, their families, their companies, and their industry.  It is filled with people who care enough to be involved.  It is filled with people who understand that their involvement can make a difference.
A dear friend and associate recently made a statement that I loved and would like to claim at this point in my journey.  "I've not always been the person I should have been, and I'm not currently the person I hope to become."  For me, the key take away from a statement like this is "development."  One thing I know for sure, you can't develop, you can't grow, you can't change for the better if you're not in the game.  You have to be involved if you're going to make any positive change.  I would like to extend an invitation to those who may read this letter but have not previously been involved or have not been active for a while.  Come to our meetings.  Participate in our events.  It is your industry.  I can tell you by experience that it will cost you to be involved.  But your investment will be rewarding.
 
A poem I learned many years ago speaks of how the paths we choose will often start us down a journey that we will someday look back upon with a sense of satisfaction, with a sense of understanding that our efforts have been worthwhile.  I hope each reader will choose to be personally involved in the GIPHCC.  When you are, you may find yourself agreeing with the last line of the famous poem by Robert Frost.
 
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
 
Best regards,
Brian Lebo
GIPHCC President
