MentoringProgram
ASPE
Who Is a Mentor?A mentor is someone who can help the mentee develop skills for success and long-range career planning, is able to be a good listener, is willing to share experiences and views, is willing to commit time and effort, provides an “open door” to questions and problems, points out both strengths and opportunities for improvement, and has a vested interest in the growth and development of their mentee.
Benefits to the mentor:
• Satisfaction in helping someone mature, progress, and achieve goals• Meeting and sharing experiences with other mentors• Personal ongoing support to help the mentee succeed• Personal fulfillment through contribution to the Society and the individual
Who Is a Mentee?Having a mentor can contribute to a successful and satisfying career. Without a mentor, that learning occurs mostly through trial and error. With a mentor, even experienced professionals can benefit from the experiences and expertise of someone who has withstood the trial and can help the mentee avoid the mistakes. Similarly, those new to the industry will discover that being a mentee shortens the learning curve for acquiring the skills and knowledge most critical to a fruitful career.
Benefits to the mentee:
• Discover new talents about yourself• Career satisfaction• Expand your personal network• Maximize your strengths
aspe.org/aspe-mentoring-program
The Women of ASPE are
excited to introduce ASPE’s
new Mentoring Program!
This program, which is
available to all members
of the Society, has been
designed to connect ASPE
members who have a
particular skill set (mentor)
with individuals (mentee)
who are searching to
acquire the same skills to
develop and make progress
toward their personal and
professional goals.

One Member ’s Opinion
EDUCATION REPORTHaig Demergian, PE, CPDV.P. Education
Legionella and Plumbing systems.
Legionella Pneunofilla is a serious respiratory disease caused by a bacteria called Legionella. This bacteria is very diversified and can multiply exponentially in many areas of building plumbing water systems: hot and cold potable water, storage tanks, water heaters, expansion tanks, cooling towers, dead ends of piping systems, water filters, aerators, ice machines, hot tubs, ornamental fountains, occasional used fixtures, etc. Center for the Disease Control (CDC) reports that about 5,000 cases of Legionella disease are reported each year in USA. Some of them are fatal, especially affecting older persons with immune deficiency.
EXAMPLES OF RECENT OUTBREAKS OF LEGIONELLA DISEASE.
Ohio prison:An Ohio prison restricted showering, distributed bottle water and installed filters on faucets, after two inmates were diagnosed with Legionella disease.
Memphis Hotel:Nine cases of Legionella disease have been identified on guests who stayed at the hotel. Appears that the disease was acquired by guests who used the pool and/or hot tubs.
Flushing New York:Fifteen cases of Legionalla disease were identified. NYC Health Department investigators, tested all the cooling towers and ordered disinfection of the ones in which Legionella was found.
New York City assisted living facility:Five residents were diagnosed with Legionella disease. All five recovered without hospitalization. Additional chemicals were added to cooling towers.

OpiniOn: continued from page 11 World wide:Many other outbreaks of Legionella disease are reported from almost any country in the world.
Note: These examples of Legionella outbreaks are excepts from “Legionella eNews” a free newsletter available at www.hcinfo.com. Municipal water supplied in USA, by various purveyors as “potable water” contains, after all the treatments, some residual bacteria and various dissolved minerals, allowed based upon definition of EPA of “potable water”. To prevent multiplication of bacteria in municipal water piping and building piping systems, small amount of chlorine or chloramines is added. Unfortunately these added chemicals are unstable, and their effect is reduced, especially when the water is heated. The result is that Legionella is multiplying in plumbing potable water piping systems. This will affect people who will inhale during showering, small droplets of this polluted water.
One Mission. One Focus. No Distractions.Emergency equipment isn’t just what we do. It’s all we do. Your safety is too important to entrust to just anyone. All Guardian emergency eyewash and shower products are inspected, fully assembled, and 100% water-tested in our Chicago facility, which means you receive the most reliable emergency equipment each time, every time. Your safety isn’t just a priority. It’s our only priority.

WMP (Water management Plan).ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188-2015 requires that all commercial buildings, except single family, shall have a WMP. The Standard covers in detail the type of records and tests, the owner should keep. But doesn’t give any construction suggestions on how to install plumbing piping system to allow the owner to perform all tests and consequent disinfections required.
On your next plumbing project for a multi story building, I suggest you read my articles published in ASPELA News of March 2017 stating on page 11, and article published in ASPELA News of December 2017 starting on page 11. You will find a lot of information regarding bacteria in general, and Legionella bacteria in detail.
I believe that this complex task will require a new approach for designing potable water systems. ASPE should organize a group of engineers/designers, contractors, and manufacturers and a microbiologist, and offer a new design approach for plumbing systems design, taking in consideration new criteria.
