Click here to tell us about it... This month I have abandoned my planned introduction so that I may mark the passing two weeks ago of Howard J. Smith, one of Marsh-McBirney's first sales representatives. Howard, who was 85 years young, was one of our most successful and memorable sales representatives. His company represented us in parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware from 1976 through 1998. Anyone who ever met Howard surely remembers him. Sales representatives are an invaluable resource to companies like ours and to customers like you. The best ones (like Howard) spend countless hours on the road meeting with engineers, administrators, and end users of our products. They teach, train and provide local support to you while also maintaining a continuous flow of information between a manufacturer and its customers. Howard retired from sales four years ago. At the age of 80 (really!) he reluctantly gave up what he loved so much - the daily contact with his customers and with us at Marsh-McBirney. From all accounts however, he lived his retirement as fully and energetically as he lived his career. He remains an inspiration to us all. Larry Marsh CEO/President U.S. COUNTY IS FIRST IN FLOW ALSO New Castle County Delaware holds the distinction of being the first county in the first state of the original 13 U.S. colonies. They were also among the first municipalities to effectively combine Flo-Dar flowmeters with an existing fleet of Flo-Totes and Flo-Mates to monitor many of the county's 40,000 manholes.   DESERT CITY GRAVITATES TO SAVINGS The City of Tempe's Johnny G. Martinez Water Treatment Plant saves the city money due to its entirely gravity-fed design.

Click here to tell us about it... After 31 years of developing and producing flowmeters I still get a special pleasure from meeting our many customers face-to-face. Thanks again to those of you that took time to drop by our booth and say "hi" at WEFTEC in Chicago earlier this month. This month I was able to add some international flair to my customer meetings. I just returned home from a visit to the picturesque South Tirol region of Italy. Our Flo-Dar products have been a tremendous success in Europe and the cities of South Tirol have become some of our biggest Flo-Dar users. As much as I would enjoy seeing all of our customers face-to-face I know that I must rely on the telephone, e-mail, and of course this newsletter to stay in touch. I hope you will do the same! Larry Marsh CEO/President BIG CITY, BIG FLOWS, EASY SOLUTION Below the bustling streets of the second-largest urban area in the U.S. lie 6,500 miles of sewers ranging from eight inches to 12 feet in diameter. The City of Los Angeles has the largest wastewater collection system in the U.S., serving over four million people and processing over 550 million gallons of flow each day. With such an important task at hand it's no wonder the Wastewater Collection Systems division of the Bureau of Sanitation uses over 100 Flo-Dar flowmeters to effortlessly monitor their flows.   NASHVILLE PUMPS, WE MEASURE Nashville, Tennessee is home to one of the oldest water pumping stations in the United States. The Omohundra Water Plant, built in 1888 and still in operation today, monitors critical flows for The City of Nashville and surrounding areas. When it was time to install six new flowmeters into very challenging pipe configurations the City turned to the Marsh-McBirney Multi-Mag .
