Happy June Monterey Bay Chapter
In May, we met in the Community Room at The Barnyard in Carmel to hear Maureen Hamilton of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District present: “The Tale of Two Water Projects: Aquifer Storage and Recovery and Pure Water Monterey Injection Wellfields.” Thank you Maureen for an engaging talk which featured several project management lessons from real-world infrastructure projects. Twelve members and guests shared the evening over pizza from Alfredo’s.
