This week’s tower comes from Waterloo, Indiana, proudly featuring the DeKalb High School mascot and holding an impressive 750,000 gallons of water! A perfect mix of community pride and essential infrastructure. 👏

Water Circuit Rider Chad Reynolds captured this photo while out in the field helping the communities we serve — a beautiful reminder of the places, people, and essential work that make rural Indiana so special.

In observance of Memorial Day, the Alliance office will be closed Monday, May 25.

Today, we pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. We are grateful for their sacrifice and for the freedoms we enjoy because of them.

Akron is flowing today. 💧🚽🚰

From pumps and pipes to hydrants, vac trucks, meters, jetters, and everything in between — the Northern Operator Expo has turned into a full-on playground for water and wastewater professionals.

Nothing beats getting operators together outdoors to talk shop, solve problems, test equipment, and keep Indiana systems running strong. Huge thanks to everyone spending the day with us in Akron! 👏
