Edwin C. Tifft, Jr. Water Supply Symposium

2011 Tifft Symposium
September 20 - 22
Holiday Inn
Electronics Parkway, Liverpool, NY

 

NYSAWWA began holding this annual two day educational symposium in response to a need for more member education after the Safe Water Drinking Act was approved. Edwin C. "Ted" Tifft was one of the three organizers of the symposium. Ted began working for O'Brien & Gere Engineers in Syracuse in 1971; eventually, he served on the firm's Board of Directors. Ted passed away in 1995, after a stuggle with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease). The symposium was named in recognition of his dedication to the event and to the Section's Education Committee.
