Granted, the circulation of this magazine doesn’t compare to that of Sunset magazine, but it’s national attention nonetheless as TPO magazine includes a six-page spread on the city’s award winning wastewater treatment plant. TPO is an acronym for Treatment Plant Operator. I was pleased to partner recently with writer Trude Witham as the magazine featured the Anacortes plant as one of its “top performers” in the February 2012 issue. The article, which opens with a two-page spread featuring plant operator Lou Zurcher (see photo), is titled “Making the Grade.” A subhead reads: “The City of Anacortes transitioned from two primary plants to a new secondary plant, meeting permit specifications and winning six awards.” To see this article and to learn more about the people who operate it, visit http://www.tpomag.com/ezine
