President's Message

January 3, 2021

Welcome to 2022. I would like to take this opportunity as your 2022 president to introduce myself. My name is Dave Beauchamp. I have been a part of this association for over 10 years and have served as the chairman of the collections system committee for 3 years prior to being asked to join the executive committee. I have worked in the water and wastewater field as a contractor for 13 years and have had the pleasure of working with many of you and I look forward to representing all of the association’s members for 2022.  I have lived in the western mountains of Maine for the past 24 years with my wife and 2 children and truly appreciate the beauty and preservation of the Maine landscape.

In 2022 I will be focusing on the continued partnership with Maine Water Utilities Association. This team effort will allow continued growth to both associations through shared resources and dedicated focused staff to progress this association into the future while keeping its independence. I want to continue the growth and development of MeWEA’s sub committees and support the growth and opportunities they create. 

This association continues to be the frontline representative for all things PFAS and continue to work with ME DEP to keep the association informed of both environmental and operational impacts. Our committees continue to engage both the association and the general public in training programs, educational awareness and governmental impacts dealing with water, wastewater, stormwater and our infrastructure.

I truly look forward to representing this association in 2022 and am here to serve the members in any way I can. Thank you.
