The use of a relatively tin vermiculite coating layer, preferably spray-applied as an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets, over a (primary) spray-applied hydratable cementitious fireproofing coating, has been found surprisingly to provide fireproofing protection that equals or exceeds that provided by fireproofing used alone. Accordingly, the time, effort, and costs normally incurred by the need to achieve thick coating layers in conventional fireproofing are considerably decreased.

an accelerator provided in a container, said accelerator operative to be injected during spray-application of said fireproofing composition at an application site; and
an aqueous dispersion provided in a container, of delaminated vermiculite platelets operative to provide an overlying coating over said hydratable cementitious fireproofing composition when said fireproofing composition is spray-applied on to a substrate surface.
2. The coating system of claim 1 wherein said fireproofing composition further comprises water whereby said powder is liquid flowable form that is spray-applicable onto a substrate.
3. The coating system of claim 2 wherein said fireproofing composition is spray-applied as primary coating onto a steel beam or panel at a coverage rate of 0.2-1.2 board feet per pound based on dry weight fireproofing composition; and said vermiculite coating is applied as a secondary coating onto said primary coating at a coverage rate of 50-200 square feet per gallon.
4. The coating system of claim 3 wherein said secondary vermiculite coating is spray-applied over said primary fireproofing coating at a coverage rate of 80-150 square feet per gallon.
5. Method for protecting a steel beam or panel, comprising: (A) spray-applying onto a steel beam or panel, using an injected accelerator, a hydratable cementitious fireproofing composition, said fireproofing composition comprising a cementitious binder in the amount of at least 30% by weight of said fireproofing composition, said binder comprising gypsum, Plaster of Paris, Portland cement, aluminous cement, pozzolanic cement, or mixture thereof; and said fireproofing composition further composition at least one light-weight aggregate in the amount of 1-5% by weight, said light-weight aggregate selected from the group consisting of expanded vermiculite perlite, shredded polystyrene, or mixture thereof, said fireproofing coating being spray-applied at a coverage rate of 0.2-1.2 board feet per pound based on the dry weight of the fireproofing composition; and (B) spray-applying onto said spray-applied coating of fireproofing composition at a coverage rate of 50-200 square feet per gallon a secondary coating comprising an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein said fireproofing composition and said vermiculite dispersion composition are spray-applied concurrently using separate spray nozzles.

9. A coating system of claim 1 wherein said binder is gypsum.
10. The method of claim 5 wherein said binder is gypsum.
11. The coating system of claim 1 wherein said light-weight aggregate has bulk density of 0.4-15pcf.
12. The coating system of claim 1 wherein said cementitious binder comprises at least 75% based on total weight of said fireproofing composition.
13. The coating system of claim 1 wherein said cementitious binder comprises at least 85% based on total weight of said fireproofing composition.
14. The coating system of claim 1 wherein said light-weight aggregate is expanded vermiculite.

The present invention relates to spray-applicable cementitious fireproofing, and in particular to a coating system and method relative to the use of a spray-applicable primary cementitious fireproofing coating and the use of an overlying secondary coating formed using an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets.
It is well known to spray-apply fireproofing slurries to metal structural members and other building surfaces to provide a heat resistant coating thereon. Spray-applied, hydratable, cementitious fireproofing compositions are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,751,024 of Shu et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,904,503 of Hilton et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,160 of Kindt et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,340,612 of Perito, which are owned by the common assignee hereof and incorporated herein by reference. These fireproofing compositions teach the use of lightweight aggregates, such as shredded polystyrene particles, to obtain concentrations favorable for pumping the fireproofing composition through hoses, sometimes to great heights, to nozzles from which the fireproofing is sprayed onto a substrate surface using compressed air. Moreover, the fireproofing compositions provide non-segregating, uniform slurries displaying desired levels of adhesion to steel substrates and excellent fire protection. The density of the slurry compositions containing concentrations of lightweight aggregate is sufficiently low after application to ensure that the coating stays in place before and after setting. Thus, �fall off� of the applied composition due to inadequate adherence of mechanical and structural disturbance is minimized or eliminated. One of the unavoidable features of spray-applying cementitious fireproofing, however, is the need for achieving certain coating thicknesses. Such coating thicknesses are needed to meet fireproofing standards, and are attained, for the most part, through successive spray passes over the substrate surface. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,340,612 of Perito disclosed a sprayable fireproofing composition that provided a quick setting time such that multiple coatings of the slurry could be applied within the same working day. Nevertheless, there remains a concern that using multiple coatings to achieve minimal thicknesses sufficient for attaining fireproofing protection is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The present invention pertains to the surprising discovery that the fireproofing performance of conventional spray-applicable cementitious fireproofing may be considerably enhanced using a secondary, overlying layer formed from an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets. In other words, the present inventors envision that it is possible to use a relatively thinner coating of cementitious fireproofing without substantially sacrificing fireproofing efficacy. The ability to apply the fireproofing in a relatively thinner coating will conserve labor and energy, and expenses and time at the application site.
The present invention also does not need to rely upon lightweight or heavy aggregate, which may be optional, and thus provides the ability to use even thinner wet pass coatings that afford a savings in time and labor.
The present invention provides an improved hydratable cementitious fireproofing coating system and method by which a �thickness savings� can be realized without sacrificing substantial fireproofing efficacy. This is achieved by providing a relatively thin, overlying secondary coating formed from an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets, placed on top of a primary coating layer formed from a hydratable cementitious fireproofing composition of the kind now conventionally used.
The present inventors have surprisingly found that this laminar coating arrangement can lead to a decrease in the thickness of the fireproofing coating normally required to achieve a given fireproofing performance level. The ability of the present invention to employ thinner spray-applied coating layers of primary fireproofing will conserve effort, time, labor, and expense, because the spray-application will require fewer passes during spray-application to attain minimum coating thickness. It is surmised by the inventors that the secondary vermiculite coating helps to contribute moisture barrier properties, such that the loss of inherent moisture from the cementitious fireproofing is slowed during exposure to fire or flames, while at the same time acts to transfer or deflect heat away from the underylying cementitious fireproofing composition. Thus, the ability to use relatively thinner cementitious fireproofing layers can translate into lower cumulative labor and time required for successive spray passes across the substrate surface to be protected.
A coating system for providing fireproofing protection to a substrate, comprising: (A) an hydratable cementitious fireproofing composition; and (B) a composition of delaminated vermiculite platelets. These components would be contained in separate containers but could be sold as part of a package, wherein the components are sold in pre-measured amounts suitable for application at a project site. Preferably, the fireproofing composition is spray-applied using an injected accelerator, as known in the fireproofing art (and the accelerator could be sold in its separate container), and the vermiculite coating layer is preferably spray-applied during or after the spraying of the fireproofing composition, as an aqueous dispersion, preferably using a separate spray nozzle.
An exemplary method of the invention thus comprises spray-applying onto a substrate surface a primary coating comprising a cementitious fireproofing composition, preferably using an injected accelerator; and, during this spray-application of the primary fireproofing coating or subsequent thereto, spray-applying over the coated substrate surface a secondary, overlying coating comprising an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets. Thus, for example, the inventors envision that the operator of the spray equipment can mount a second nozzle (for spray-applying the vermiculite dispersion coating) adjacent to a first nozzel (for spray-applying the primary cementitious fireproofing coating), such that the dispersion can be quickly applied over substrate surface areas over which the first nozzle has just applied the fireproofing. Alternatively, the vermiculite dispersion coating may be spray-applied subsequent to the fireproofing-coated substrate surface using a second spray nozzle, or applied using some other conventional technique.
It is believed that the secondary overlying vermiculite coating can be applied either when the fireproofing coating is still wet or moist, or after the fireproofing has dried or substantially cured.
Further features and advantages of the invention are described in detail hereinafter.
FIGS. 1A and 1B are pictorial representations, respectively, of a hydratable cementitious fireproofing of the prior art spray-applied onto a substrate (FIG. 1A) and of an fireproofing coating system of the present invention wherein a moisture vapor barrier/heat transfer barrier coating comprised of vermiculite platelets is located over a relatively thin cementitious fireproofing coating applied onto a substrate (FIG. 1B); and
FIG. 2 is a graphic representation of comparative fireproofing performance, as described in Example 1, of a control sample (cementitious fireproofing composition only coated onto steel plate) and a sample exemplifying the teachings of the present invention (fireproofing coating on steel plate with overlying delaminated vermiculite platelet coating).
As illustrated in FIG. 1B, the present invention pertains to the use of a hydratable cementitious fireproofing composition 12, which can be spray-applied preferably with an injected accelerator onto a substrate 10, and an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets 14 which are preferably spray-applied to form a secondary overlying coating that acts as a moisture vapor barrier/heat transfer barrier over the fireproofing 12. This combination can provide similar fire protection capability, or even increased fire protection capabilities, when compared to thicker fireproofing-only coatings 9, as illustrated in FIG. 1A.
The present invention is contemplated for use in protecting the surfaces of substrates 10 such as steel beams and panels from fire, flames, and heat. In addition to metals such as steel and aluminum, other substrate materials can be protected, such as wood, glass, plastics, fabrics, composite materials (such as fiberglass and graphite-containing materials), and combinations of such materials. The compositions are preferably spray-applied in the manner of conventional fireproofing (see e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,904,503; 4,934,596; or 5,520,332, incorporated by reference herein), or may be brush, troweled, rolled, or applied by known means.
The primary hydratable cementitious fireproofing composition suitable for use in the invention is one which is preferably conventionally known in the fireproofing art. For example, the fireproofing compositions disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,751,024 of Shu et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,904,503 of Hilton et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,160 of Kindt et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,340,612 of Perito, incorporated herein by reference, are all believed to be suitable for use as exemplary primary hydratable cementitious fireproofing compositions in the present invention. Fireproofing compositions are commercially available from Grace Construction Products, Cambridge, Mass., under the tradename MK-6�, which is especially suitable for use as exemplary hydratable cementitious fireproofing compositions in the present invention, and these can be applied using an injected accelerator (e.g., alum).
Preferred primary fireproofing compositions contain a binder (e.g., Plaster of Paris, gypsum, Portland cement, aluminous cement, pozzolanic cement, or a mixture thereof) and may optionally contain a lightweight aggregate having a bulk density in the range of 0.4-15 pounds per cubic foot (6.4-240 kg/cubic meter). The lightweight aggregate may, for example, comprise exfoliated (expanded) vermiculite (which is not to be confused with the use of an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets as discussed herein), perlite, or, most preferably, shredded expanded polystyrene, as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,751,024 of Shu et al.; U.S. Pat Nos. 4,957,010 and 4,989,464 of Cirignano; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,462,235 of Driscoll et al.
Heavier aggregates may optionally be incorporated into the cementitious fireproofing composition instead of, or in addition to, the optional lightweight aggregates. These heavier aggregates may include, for example, coarse ground gypsum, bauxite, cement clinker, brucite, and granular aluminum hydroxide, which were identified in U.S. Pat. No. 5,556,578 as having hydration water. If heavy aggregates are incorporated into the fireproofing composition, then a preferred range amount for such heavy aggregates would be 20-80% by weight based on total solids in the fireproofing mix.
Exemplary vermiculite secondary coating layers may be formed by spray-application of an aqueous dispersions of delaminated vermiculite platelets. Commercially suitable vermiculite dispersions are available from Grace Construction Products under the tradename MICROLITE�. General background information pertaining to stable vermiculite dispersions believed suitable for use in the present invention may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,655,842 of Ou et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,780,147 of Ou et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,102,464 of Ou; U.S. Pat. No. 5,116,537 of Yang et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,843 of Ou et al.; or U.S. Pat. No. 5,244,740 of Ou et al., incorporated by reference herein. In addition, further background about how dispersions of vermiculite platelets can be made from vermiculite ore may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,303 of Ballard et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,425,465 of Padget et al.; or U.S. Pat. No. 4,366,203 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,366,204 of Briggs, also incorporated by reference herein.
Optionally, one may use a primer coating on the substrate surface (such as a paint), before applying the primary cementitious fireproofing coating and secondary vermiculite moisture barrier/heat barrier coating layer, and a further topcoat may also be optionally applied onto the vermiculite coating layer.
In preferred coating systems and methods of the invention, an exemplary hydratable cementitious fireproofing composition, preferably provided in powder form so that a spray-applicalbe slurry can be made at the application site by incorporation of the required amount of water, preferably comprises a cementitious binder (e.g., Portland cement, gypsum, or mixture thereof) in the amount of at least 30% based on total weight of composition, preferably at least 75%, and most preferably at least 85% based on total weight of composition, and optionally at least one light weight aggregate (e.g., shredded expanded polystyrene particles) in the amount of 1-5% by weight; and an exemplary secondary coating comprising an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets.
As an illustration of the projected benefits of the secondary vermiculite dispersion coating, for a two-hour fire rating, the required thickness of the cementitious fireproofing barrier coating will depend on the configuration and size of the steel substrate. For a 10W49 column, the required thickness is 1.125 inches, which translates into a coverage rate of about 0.67 square feet per pound of packaged dry fireproofing material (e.g., MONOKOTE� MK-6� from Grace Construction Products, Cambridge, Mass.). However, it is estimated that when a secondary overlying vermiculite dispersion coating is applied on top of the fireproofing coating, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, then the thickness will be decreased from 1.125 inches to 0.923 inches, which translates to an increased coverage rate of 0.82 square feet per pound of dry fireproofing material (This estimate is based on using MONOKOTE� MK-6� brand fireproofing from Grace Construction Products).
A comparative fire test was performed using 12″�12″ steel plates. One plate was coated with 1″ thickness of MONOKOTE� MK-6� fireproofing composition (available from Grace Construction Products, Cambridge, Mass.). The sample density was approximately 20.7 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). A second test plate was coated with 1″ thickness of MONOKOTE� MK6� fireproofing (approximately 20.9 pcf), and a coating of MICROLITE� brand vermiculite dispersion (an aqueous dispersion of delaminated vermiculite platelets commercially available from Grace) was applied onto the fireproofing coating (covering the exposed face and sides of the coated fireproofing) at a coverage rate of 115 sqaure feet per gallon coverage rate. An attempt to make a third sample, by applying vermiculite dispersion directly onto the steel plate followed by coating with a fireproofing composition, was made, but the fireproofing did not adhere to the vermiculite dispersion-coated steel plate.
The samples were then placed into a gas furnace, with the vermiculite dispersion coating facing downwards, and fire tests were then run in accordance with ASTM-E119(90). At one minute test intervals, the interface between the steel plate and the fireproofing coating was measured, and it was determined that the control sample (fireproofing alone on steel plate) reached 1000� F. in about 98 minutes, whereas the vermiculite dispersion-coated/fireproofing coated steel plate reached 1000� F. in about 116 minutes. The surprising significance of this test is that the resultant increase in �time-until-failure� means that the present invention will afford a �thickness savings� in the spray-application of the fireproofing composition
Accordingly, the percent time increase provided by the secondary dispersion coating (Test #3) is compued as follows: 116-98 minutes/98 minutes=18%. Thus, an 18 percent increase in fireproofing efficacy can be achieved using a relatively thin vermiculite platelet coating over the fireproofing.
The test results, shown at 10 minute intervals (to conserve space while providing idea of comparative performance), are provided below in Table 2.
The foregoing discussion and examples were provided for illustrative purposes and not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed.

Every year more than 13,000 Americans will be diagnosed with a glioblastoma, the worst kind of brain tumor.
There's no cure and few treatments.
On average, people only have 15 months to live after diagnosis with the tumor.
But now man's best friend could hold the key to helping these patients
Looking at Petey now it's hard to imagine that a couple years ago, a large brain tumor called a glioma almost cut his life short.
"They said he's basically probably got less than two months to live," Alexander Frame, Petey's owner said.
Petey's owner enrolled him in a clinical trial testing a drug already used to treat colon cancer in people. Veterinarian Simon Platt pumped the drug directly over the area in the brain where Petey's tumor was removed.
"It tries to block the tumor feeding on the rest of the body," explained Doctor Simon Platt, Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery Service at the University of Georgia said.
This stops the tumor's fingers growing all throughout the brain, from coming back.
Petey's last MRI shows no tumor. Because canine tumors are very similar to those found in people, doctor platt hopes the same will happen to people suffering from the same types of tumors.
"We thought that's great, we can help dogs out. To believe that then it would go that next step and actually help people out is extraordinary," Platt said.
Although the drug needs more testing before it can be tried out in humans, it's done wonders for Petey.
"At this point I'm hopeful that, that, he'll have a full life," Frame said.
Doctor Platt received a three year grant from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation.
The next clinical trial will include around 15 dogs, and if the results are as promising as those from the first trial, human testing could be right around the corner.
BACKGROUND: Glioblastomas are tumors that arise from astrocytes, the star-shaped cells that make up the "glue-like" or supportive tissue of the brain. These tumors are usually cancerous because the cells reproduce quickly and they are supported by a large network of blood vessels. They are generally found in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. However, they can also be found on the spinal cord or anywhere in the brain. There are two types of glioblastomas, primary and secondary. Primary tumors form and make their presence known quickly. It is the most aggressive and common type. Secondary tumors have a longer, slower growth history, but are still very aggressive. They represent about ten percent of glioblastomas and are usually found in people 45 and younger. Glioblastomas represent about 17 percent of all primary brain tumors. They affect more men than women and the risk increases with age. (Source: http://www.abta.org/understanding-brain-tumors/types-of-tumors/glioblastoma.html)
SYMPTOMS: The most common symptoms are usually caused by increased pressure in the brain. They can include nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and headache. Patients can develop a variety of other symptoms, like weakness on one side of the body, memory and speech difficulties, and visual changes. (Source: http://www.abta.org/understanding-brain-tumors/types-of-tumors/glioblastoma.html)
TREATMENT: Glioblastoma can be difficult to treat because the tumors contain so many different types of cells. Some cells can respond well to certain therapies, while others may not be affected at all. The first step in treating glioblastoma is a procedure to make a diagnosis, relieve pressure on the brain, and safely remove as much tumor as possible. Glioblastomas have finger-like tentacles, making it very difficult to remove it. Radiation and chemotherapy may be used to slow the growth of tumors. (Source: http://www.abta.org/understanding-brain-tumors/types-of-tumors/glioblastoma.html)
NEW TECHNOLOGY: The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation, Inc., awarded the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine and Emory University a $119,000 grant over three years to test a newly developed experimental drug to treat dogs with naturally occurring brain tumors, following surgical removal of those tumors. The goal of the research is to find therapies humans can use. The tumors in the dogs are called spontaneous gliomas, which are very similar to human brain tumors. Simon Platt, BVM&S, a Professor of Veterinary Neurology at UGA, performed the surgery and diagnosed Petey with a glioma. After the surgery, an investigational drug was directly infused into the glioma for three days. The experimental drug was developed in the Winship Cancer Institute Brain Tumor Nanotechnology Laboratory of Costas Hadjipanayis, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine. It is FDA-approved monoclonal antibody known as cetuximab, attached to an iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticle.
"We have translated this agent to canines with spontaneous gliomas to study its safety and feasibility," Dr. Hadjipanayis was quoted as saying. "By targeting the same receptor in canine gliomas that is over-expressed in human brain cancer, known as glioblastoma (GBM), we hope to have a clearer picture of the safety and therapeutic efficacy of the agent."

Wow. Just picked up a bottle of Franziskaner Dunkel at my local grocery store and at first I thought they had just changed the label on it because the hefe's are normally gold/yellow. This one was red. Then I noticed it was a dunkel and picked it up, because of Deathbrewer and his awesome writeup that Ive recently discovered I normally don't do dark beers so I thought I would give it a shot...it is amazing. I'll tell you how good the smell was lol. I was messing with my fermenting chamber after I had poured the dunkel and set it on the counter. I kept smelling something awesome and thought it was coming from my fermenter, then realized it was coming from the dunkel I just poured about 5 feet away, not even kidding. Could drink this dunkel all day. I will be brewing your Dunkelweizen very soon Deathbrewer
@thedude00 I don't know how to quote so to answer your question, the 5 gallon batch I have in my fermenter is a Bavarian Hefeweizen from AHS, their mini mash kits are pretty good, yes you can partial mash just like deathbrewer does with one of those. The only problem I find with the kits from AHS is they contain about 4 lbs of dme and 3-3.5 lbs of grain. I like to get as close as I can to as much grains as my system will hold, which is about 5-6 lbs. I also like to get as little extract as possible. So I usually tweek recipes to make it fit my system, but if this is your first venture into partial mashing then by all means the recipes from AHS are great and you will not be disappointed.
"Many mules have matched wits with me, yet almost all have failed!" Pust
1 pound of grain is .6 pounds DME and .75 pounds lme .If your going for a dunkelweizen or hefeweizen use one of deathbrewers recipes if you can mash that much grain because it comes out to a perfect 3 lbs of dme and you don't have to measure out ounces for your dme. If you can't do 5 pounds of grains but only 3-4 then the ahs mini mashes can't be beat.
How do you quote people
Wanted to thank you for your instructions on your stove top BIAB system. I live in a condo and don't have the means to brew outside with a burner. After my first 3 all extract kits, I moved to partial mash using your system. I then brewed 9 partial mash batches that all came out well. I've now moved on to all grain. People are amazed that I can brew all grain batches on my electric stove top while using a BIAB system. I'm getting excellent efficiencies. Usually between 75%-85%. I've had to adjust my recipes to account for higher than normal eff rates. Thanks again!
I will be brewing my third and fouth batches soon. These will be my first partial mashes. First I was thinking of getting the Spotted Cow partial mash clone kit (Speckled Heffer) from Northern Brewer and adding 3lbs. of organic raspberries to secondary. Thought it would be a good base for a raspberry cream ale. Any thoughts?
My 4th batch will be a Strong Dark Belgian. My first batch was an extract SDB. I like how it turned out, but am excited to see how I can improve it with a PM. Hoping to get more raisin with some Special B. If anyone could point me toward a good PM recipe for a SDB I would be grateful.
Hey Deathbrewer..Ive been browsing the forums and noticed that your AG and PM dunkelweizens looks like this
6lbs wheat
4lbs Munich
.25 choc
3lbs wheat
3lbs Wheat DME
2lbs munich
.25 choc.
I just wanted to see if there's any particular reason from going from 60/40 ratio all grain to 80/20 PM between the wheat/munich. Just curious if you use more of certain grains for pm vs ag. The way I have been converting recipes is to just drop 5lbs off the base grain and sub in 3lbs dme, does this sound right ? I'm sure both would make awesome beers, I actually have the PM recipe exactly from above arriving sometime tomorrow according to my tracking# I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks again for all the help and advice on the forums DB.
Thanks for this idiot proof write-up. I used it last night for my Octoberfest partial mashing some Vienna and Munich malts. The only error I made was getting a little too happy with the DME doubting I did the mashing correctly. My wort finished at 1.068 when I was hoping for a 1.056'ish. Oh well another lesson learned, and great write up that works! Thanks again.
I will be trying this method, looks very easy........1 question.....in step 6 you add extract, is that powdered? I'm a newbie and all the extract I've ever seen was syrupy.
Thanks again!

Thursday night's Halloween Parade in Wapakoneta brought out many gules and goblins on what turned out to be a beautiful evening. Many children dressed up for the costume contest hosted by the Chamber of Commerce but the various floats that participated in the parade are also just as impressive. The Auglaize County District Public Library's float won the Grand Marshall's Award for best slot in the parade, and DARE won the Mayor's Award for best float.
The cause of a malfunction in the One Call Now and text alert systems that left many parents in the Wapakoneta City School District wondering if school was canceled Thursday has not yet been identified, WCS Superintendent Keith Horner said.
"We do not yet know what happened," Horner said. "We're looking into it, but we don't have any guesses at this time."
Good service, good products and good prices.
That's what Speedy Mart convenience store owner Ricky Patel hopes to bring to Wapakoneta when he opens up shop on Nov. 1.
"I make sure the customer is happy — that's my philosophy," Patel said. "If you're happy and you leave with a smile, you're gonna come back."
As part of "WapaWeen" — Wapakoneta's first ever 10-day long Halloween celebration — members of the Wapakoneta Antique and Specialty Shops (WASS) will be offering discounted prices to customers who stop in this weekend.
The sale is called "Bargains on the BOO-levard," and several downtown shops will be participating in this inaugural event.
Do you have the talent to be on the show, "America's Got Talent?" Wapakoneta resident Susan Morgan believes she has the talent to be in front of a handful of celebrities and a live audience all on primetime television as she auditions one more time in Chicago in January.
And if she passes the test, you will see her on television.
Children in Botkins wore caps to raise money for the Kids for Caps Foundation, a charity that donates hats to children with cancer, and in Wapakoneta, a massage therapist took classes over the summer to help give cancer patients massages while they are battling the effects of cancer.
Now another person has joined the fight against cancer, but this time she is donating a piece of herself for a great cause.
Do ghosts exist, and if they do, what do they look like?
That question was answered Tuesday night when the Auglaize County Public Library hosted its first event during WapaWeen with the presentation from John Kachuba, the "Ghost Professor."
Kachuba, a paranormal author, travels to haunted places around the state. Many people contact him and tell him to come out to their place to see if it is indeed haunted.
BUCKLAND — Money concerns continue to plague the Village of Buckland, where spending has been cut and council has taken on a watch-every-dollar attitude.
That's why they're back with a levy proposal in front of voters in the Nov. 4 election.

Team preview: Utah
Blue Ribbon Yearbook previews the 2005 college football season, exclusively on Insider.
Last season's non-BCS poster program breaks in its third head coach and third offense in four years in 2005.
Kyle Whittingham, 46, turned down the same position at his alma mater, BYU, to become the 20th head coach at Utah. As a Utes assistant for 11 seasons, he was integral to the program's rise to national prominence. Utah was 86-41 during that span and played in six bowl games, winning five.
He succeeds Urban Meyer, who left for Florida after going 22-2 in two seasons in Salt Lake City. Whittingham served as co-head coach with Meyer when the Utes upended Pittsburgh in the New Year's Day Fiesta Bowl, 35-7, to become the first "outsiders" to win a BCS game.
Not only was he the Mountain West's longest-tenured defensive coordinator, Whittingham was arguably its most successful. Utah led the league in total defense three times under his watch (2000, 2001 and 2002) and led the conference in scoring defense in four of the last six seasons.
Having to practice every day against Meyer's high-octane shotgun/spread/triple-option attack gave Whittingham a solid understanding of offensive strategy.
"I learned a lot about offense from Urban," he said. "We'll have a new offense, but we'll keep a lot of the elements that worked well for the past two years."
Andy Ludwig was brought in to succeed offensive coordinator Mike Sanford, now the head coach at UNLV. Ludwig, offensive coordinator at Oregon from 2002-04, also choreographed the 2001 Fresno State offense that ranked fourth in the nation in scoring and total offense under No. 1 NFL draft pick David Carr.

Off The Grid Life
A cabin off the grid is a private place in the wilderness where the noisy world is far away and the soul of Alaska close at hand. On the next Outdoor Explorer, our host comes to you from his own off-the-grid cabin on Kachemak Bay. Guest Donna Massay will join us from the Trapper Creek area. And we'll learn about the power, water and communication technology that makes off the grid life easier to do these days.

Fish Camp
On the next Outdoor Explorer, our topic is fish camp. Native Alaskans all over the state go to riverside fish camps for the summer to harvest salmon, and as part of an ancient way of life. And a lot of commercial fishermen have fish camps at setnet sites, where they catch the fish going by, they make a little bit of money and to live and sustain themselves in wild places.

When you think of sailing, maybe you think of multi-million-dollar America's cup yachts, or rich guys in blue blazers sipping cocktails. But Alaskans sail, too, and we do it the Alaskan way, out in beautiful places where getting around by the power of the wind is fun, interesting, and makes a lot of sense. Our topic is sailing, from ocean cruising to lake sailing, and even sailing with radio controlled model boats in local ponds.

This week's show puts together four guys who love hiking these trails and know them well, an author, two trail managers and your host. We'll talk about our favorite hikes while we put together a trail guide on the air.

Dip Netting
Mid-July is time for reds to rush into Cook Inlet and up the Kenai River. And at the river's mouth, to navigate their way past a phalanx of nets held out in the current on long poles. We're talking about dipnetting the Kenai, the kind of fishing that makes you feel like a grizzly bear, snatching the salmon out of the river by skill and chance.
KSKA: Thursday, July 18, 2pm and 9pm
Fireweed 400
Close to the middle of nowhere, on the Glenn Highway at Sheep Mountain Lodge, 750 cyclists will take off for a race to Valdez, 200 miles away, an amazing highway ride, largely downhill, across some of Alaska's most beautiful country. And then the most competitive among them will turn around and ride back up the mountains another 200 miles to the starting point. We're focusing on the Fireweed 400, a unique, inspiring and fun summer event for the best cyclists and for a bunch off ordinary mortals who just want to challenge themselves.
KSKA: Thursday 7/11 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
Mount Marathon
During the 2012 Mount Marathon race, two runners were terribly injured and one disappeared, never to be found. Organizers hope this year's race is safer, without losing its adventurous edge. On the next Outdoor Explorer, we'll talk about the new rules, and about the joy of mountain running and competition with two of the best in Alaska, plus a race organizer. Also new for this week's show, host Charles Wohlforth is in Homer, at KBBI.

Single Track
On the next Outdoor Explorer, our topic is single-track mountain biking. Have you biked the single track trails at Kincaid? It has become huge in Anchorage with the construction of these narrow trails through the woods on the Hillside and at Kincaid, with lots of sudden hills and tight turns. Charles Wohlforth hosts two guests who volunteered to create the trails and ride them everyday.

Sea Kayaking
On the next Outdoor Explorer we're talking about sea kayaking in Prince William Sound. It's a short drive from Anchorage, and it's one of the most famous places to paddle on Earth. Many of us have great memories of paddling trips in the Sound. Others would probably like to try it but aren't sure how to go about it, to be safe, and to break away on your own. Join us to share the feeling of silence in a quiet cove in the sound, and the practicalities of how to get there.

Memorial Day Clamming
Memorial Day is upon us, and with it, huge minus tides in lower Cook Inlet. Excellent clam tides are hitting at the same time as the starting weekend of the summer season. But razor clams have been scarce of late. We'll have a researcher trying to find out why, as well talking about how to pursue razors, and going after steamers and butters, too. Biology, food safety, digging, camping, cooking. You'll even hear some secret recipes on the next Outdoor Explorer.
KSKA: Thursday, 5/23 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
Fishing Forecast
Fishing season is approaching. We'll find out what to expect in this year's salmon runs. Last year was dreadful for kings, poor for silvers, and red hot for reds across Upper Cook Inlet. Do we know why? Will we see a repeat? And how do these predictions get made.

Pack Rafting
A pack raft is a raft you can fit in a pack, and it opens up Alaska in a way that few other inventions ever have done. For skilled paddlers, the raft eliminates the barriers presented by rivers, lakes and even bays when crossing country. But there's a lot to learn to be safe. We hear from a famous trekker and pack raft pioneer, and a business owner who teaches pack rafting.

Summer Camp Planning for Kids
The fondest dream of many parents is for our children to love the outdoors as much as we do.

KSKA: Thursday 4/25 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
Spring Bird Festivals
It's a sure sign of spring in coastal Alaska, the arrival of migrating shorebirds that flock so thickly they sometimes look like clouds. Several communities welcome the birds and visitors who want to see them and learn about them, and its a great chance to get out on the water early in the season and forget winter. On the next Outdoor Explorer, we'll be talking about the spring migrations and the shorebird festivals coming up in the next week weeks.
KSKA: Thursday 4/18 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
Nordic Combined: A Developing Alaskan Sport
At the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, the U.S. went from no medals ever in the sport of nordic combined to a gold and three silvers, more than any other country. Now there's a push on to keep performing in this combination of jumping and distance skiing, and Anchorage is a key to the effort. On the next Outdoor Explorer, host Charles Wohlforth will be joined by a national team skier and coach, in town to build the athlete pipeline.
KSKA: Thursday 4/18 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
Arctic Man City
For a week or two in mid-April, a remote mountainside in the Alaska Range becomes one of the biggest towns in Alaska. It's Arctic Man, a kind of Burning Man for the snow machine set, with the craziest extreme skiing competition you've ever heard of. We'll preview Arctic Man, the speed, the parties, the family fun, and the backcountry travel, with an organizer, a competitor, and a spectator.
KSKA: Thursday 4/4 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
Group Led Outdoor Activities
On this Outdoor Explorer we'll talk about the outdoors as a social space. Some folks think that groups are the best way to experience natural places, to hike, ski, climb or bird. They've set up ways to get together and meet new people while exploring and learning. Have you ever thought about finding new friends for an outdoor adventure? Learn how.

Will Pacman hang up his gloves?
While his trainer and mother are asking him to retire, champion is uncertain
- Image Credit: Reuters
- Manny Pacquiao is considered the world's best pound-for-pound fighter.
Manila: Seven-times world champion Manny Pacquiao is thinking of retiring from the ring, a TV report said. In an interview with Channel 7, Pacquiao said: "Let's wait and see if I will still fight or not".
The boxer added: "My mother [Dionisia] told me that I should retire now. She said she felt bad during my fight [with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas].
"I think I can still fight," explained Pacquiao, without answering when asked if boxing promoter Bob Arum would choose Floyd Mayweather as the next opponent. Last Saturday, Pacquiao stopped Cotto in the 12th round and became WBO welterweight champion.
Is fear hounding the world's historical overachiever? Before Pacquiao won in Las Vegas, a compatriot, Z Gorres, collapsed after he won a fight there. He was Pacquiao's protégé.
Gorres is responding to medication, but what happened to him has reminded Pacquiao about the dangers of boxing.
Earlier, Pacquiao told reporters how he had witnessed fellow boxer and friend Eugene Barutag die while fighting for a title in Manila. He was at the wake for days. Pacquiao and Barutag had left General Santos in the southern Philippines together in search of boxing fame in Manila.
He almost did not pursue boxing because of Eugene's fate.
Pacquiao's "master trainer", Freddie Roach, has reportedly told Pacquiao to retire while he is still strong. Roach is suffering from Parkinson's disease, decidedly a boxing victim, too.
No, Pacquiao would not turn to singing, although he held a concert with some professional singers after his bout with Cotto.
Politics is in his blood. When he arrives in Manila tomorrow, he is expected to file his candidacy for a seat at the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections.

#MannersMondays: Should You Provide A Meal For Your Wedding Vendors?
The rules of wedding etiquette are constantly changing, making it difficult for modern brides, grooms and guests to find up-to-date and correct information. But here at HuffPost Weddings, we're all about making your life easier. That's why we've launched #MannersMondays, a weekly series in which we ask our followers on Twitter and Facebook to submit their most burning etiquette-related questions. Then, with the help of our team of etiquette experts, we get you the right answers to your biggest Big Day dilemmas. You can send yours via Facebook or tweet it to us @HuffPostWedding with the hashtag #MannersMondays. Check out this week's question below!
Xochitl Gonzalez -- etiquette expert, wedding planner and HuffPost Weddings blogger -- is here to weigh on this vendor etiquette matter. Find out what she had to say below:
So, La Diva, I hate to break it to you, but paying for the photographer's meal at your wedding has more to do with ethical working conditions (see: Upton Sinclair) than it does with some type of "bonus" they qualify for or something they should be docked for. Most photographers work between six to 10 hours on a wedding day, without a break, and some even more. Typically, most people need a meal (or two) during that duration of time. Because they are following you around capturing your bridal beauty and timeless moments, they don't have time to say, run to Subway and grab a sandwich… nor is there time to even shove a banana or an apple in their mouths. Had they not been working for you that day, they would have been free to eat whatever they wanted whenever they wanted so it makes logical sense that you would be responsible for providing a meal and that the meal should be served at the reception. Not to mention that since this person is creating images that you will have forever, it's also just nice to be sure that they are fed. As someone who has worked at many a reception, trust me, the "vendor meal" is not a leisurely supper -- it's usually served at a time when the guests are dancing and often eaten too fast because they can't afford to miss a shot. Further, just in case you didn't want to take my professional opinion into account, if the photographer or DJ or anyone else has it written in their contract that they are to be served a meal, then the cost of that meal is in addition to their fee by contractual obligation -- not just to be nice.
Below, Peggy Post -- great-granddaughter-in-law of Emily Post -- and other wedding-etiquette gurus share 10 guidelines that couples and their guests don't necessarily have to follow anymore.
With more couples marrying later in life when they're financially established, the rules concerning who pays for their weddings have changed. "Now, couples paying for most or all of their weddings is more the norm than brides' families paying," says Peggy Post. Even when parents are writing the checks, they no longer have to follow strict guidelines about which family handles what (i.e., the bride's pays for the reception and the groom's pays for the alcohol). Instead, couples who accept their parents' financial help should decide "what items are their highest priority, as in the things they want to pay for and have more control over, and the items that are less important, that they would be okay with parents paying for and controlling," says Sharon Naylor, best-selling author of "The Essential Guide to Wedding Etiquette."
White is no longer just for virginal, first-time brides, nor do brides have to wear it at all. "Really, a bride may wear any color she desires on her wedding day," says Washington, D.C.-based wedding planner and etiquette expert Claudia Lutman. "Before Queen Victoria, who is solely credited as establishing the tradition of the white bridal gown, brides wore their best dresses, despite the color." (Dresses pictured, from left to right: Crashing Waves Gown, Trumpeted Pavot Gown, Sweet Tea Gown, Frondescence Gown)
While white is typically "reserved for the bride," according to nationally recognized etiquette expert Diane Gottsman, other experts see the tides changing on this rule. "As long as guests do not upstage the bride or appear to be in competition with her, a winter white or summer cream dress is now considered okay," says Lutman. As Post advised New York Times readers in March, what matters most is making sure you're not "unintentionally calling attention" or "causing offense to the bride." She said that guests should avoid wearing any outfit -- regardless of color -- if they doubt its appropriateness for the occasion. (Dresses pictured, from left to right: Crème Fraiche Dress, Persephone Shift)
Etiquette rules used to dictate that a bride's immediate family, particularly her mother, couldn't throw her bridal shower. "It was taboo because it was thought as being self-serving or raking in the gifts, but that's changed immensely," Post says. In fact, as more couples plan their own weddings, brides' mothers tend to feel left out as far as orchestrating the festivities goes, Naylor explains. Because of this, she says it is more than acceptable for a mother to "join in with the bridesmaids to co-host the shower, which skirts the etiquette 'don't.'" She adds that having mom's help can also ease the strain on bridesmaids who might be overwhelmed by the money they're spending on dresses, travel and other pre-wedding costs.
Unattached women who dread -- or feel downright offended by -- this tradition don't have to put on a happy face and make their way to middle of the dance floor when the DJ beckons. "As a single woman, if you don't want to chase down a bouquet, it is in your right to abstain," says Gottsman. "You shouldn't be chastised into doing it." But she warns that standing off to the side with your arms crossed or shaking your head at those clamoring for the coveted bouquet will come off as rude. Just quietly slip off to the ladies' room when the time comes if you'd rather not participate.
"It used to be considered bad etiquette to spread the news of the registry any way other than by word of mouth," says Naylor. "But that rule was created when everyone going to the wedding lived a couple blocks from each other." Now, she says, guests appreciate having these details on the wedding website so they don't have go searching for where a couple is registered -- it's actually bad etiquette not to post this information. While this rule has changed over time, Gottsman says it is still in poor taste to put any gift-giving guidelines on your wedding invitations.
While it's common in certain cultures (like Chinese and Italian) to give cash as a wedding gift, this wasn't always the case for Americans -- in fact, it used to be considered rude to ask for it. But Post says that giving money is becoming more popular as couples get creative with their registries. "It used to be that you only had traditional household goods and linens on your registry," she says. "Now, they are just so much more practical -- they can be for a home-improvement store, a wine store or even a down payment for a house." That said, couples should still provide a traditional registry for more old-fashioned guests, who might want to purchase a more conventional gift or feel uncomfortable giving cash, says Naylor.
While the rehearsal-dinner tradition began as a pre-wedding meal for those just in the wedding party, it's evolved into more of a welcome dinner for the out-of-town guests. Naylor says this shift can put a huge financial burden on couples, as the rehearsal dinner becomes "almost like a second wedding." To cut costs and avoid offending anyone, she suggests giving out-of-towners a list of restaurants in the area where they can go to dinner on their own or planning an evening cocktail party in lieu of a dinner. "It will cost less, and it will still give guests something to eat and something to do," she says.
As another way to trim their wedding budgets, "many couples are not including 'plus ones' for their single guests," says Lutman. This goes against the once-standard rule that unattached guests of a certain age should be allowed to bring a date. The tricky part about breaking this rule is deciding what constitutes "single" -- for example, a couple may have guests who are unmarried but live with their significant others. Naylor advises making a rule of inviting only "the non-married couples with whom you socialize." Though some guests might be offended, "it's one of those sticky things that is necessary in today's financial era," she says.
According to Naylor, this rule dates back to the days when it was customary to include a wedding photo with your thank-you notes -- and when getting those pictures from the photographer took at least six months. Now that photos are digital and take about half that time to receive, couples should put pen to paper two to three months after they say their "I do's." In fact, Naylor adds that couples are now expected to write a personal message to guests rather than just the standard "thank you for coming," so it's best to get a jump on those notes while the details of the night are still fresh.

My main course for the last two days has been assorted veggies drizzled with olive oil and lots of chopped garlic, then roasted at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes, depending on the type of vegetable and size of the pieces. Yummy.
I just add grilled chicken or browned lean beef or maybe a couple of boiled eggs to my meal. Lean protein and lots of veggies - a way of eating that really agrees with my body.
Having new sod put in so I've been in the yard for two days, watering, etc. Lots of deep knee bends, lol.
Friday has always been my weigh in day, so I'm officially logging weight now, too. Rolling right along.
I was supposed to start my personal challenge today but I was so excited yesterday after blogging about it, I started early, lol.
All those freshly picked veggies I bought at the Farmers' Market were delicious in a large raw salad. Turnups, carrots, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, etc. fresh from the earth. Didn't really need any dressing, just a little red wine vinegar. Yum.
I also did 20 minutes on my recumbant bike (for my knee joints). This morning I feel great, inside and out.
I�ve been away from SP and my SP friends for a while. Withdrew from my leadership positions. I lost my enthusiasm for posting and blogging and haven�t been able to get it back. It seemed that each time I tried, some other misfortune came along and took the wind out of my sails. I, personally, physically and financially, have been doing well. My family has had some hard times, accidents, health problems, emergencies, etc. that have taken all my emotional energy.
Some contact with a few SP Friends has encouraged me and the thought that it�s about time for my annual blood work and physical, along with the knowledge that it�s much harder to get something back than it is to maintain it, has suddenly SPARKED my tiny little brain to �get with it� again.
So here I am with my 12-12 Personal Challenge. Starts May 12th; ends June 12th. The numbers mean something to me. I guess that�s all that counts.
My goals are simple: to eat in a way that�s good for ME � daily; and to do the joint exercises I�ve discovered and devised to keep my knees and hips working and avoid that hip replacement surgery I�ve been told is coming.
Healthy eating for my body is to avoid Starch and Sugar as much as possible and to EAT LESS. Pretty simple. Not always easy. Does always work for my body.
I want to thank all my Spark Friends for all the good thoughts and kind words and heartfelt prayers sent on behalf of my DIL. She is home from the hospital with new meds that seem to working, finally, to dissolve the long blood clot in her leg.
As if a double mastectomy at age 41 wasn't enough, she had very severe pain from the clot, and of course we were all very scared because of it. She goes twice a week to have blood levels checked to keep the thinning meds at the right level. Still needs some pain pills, but the pain is lessening, slowly.
You know, you can plan your senior years perfectly and make excellent choices for your future, but when the health/life of a loved one is threatened, stress takes up residence in your own life and won't go away. The good news is, the cancer is gone completely!
Just yesterday I wrote about how well my DIL did after her double mastectomy. But she called me last night to say she had to go to the emergency room yesterday with severe pain in her leg. In spite of wearing heavy stretch hosing put on her legs in the hospital after her surgery, she had a blood clot in one leg.
The doc put her on Coumadin but also says she must have two shots a day into her stomach to get the blood thinner into her faster while the drug gets into her system. My son will be giving her those shots. She's confined to bed with her leg always propped up higher than her heart for the next week. The drains from her surgery had to be taken out early in the ER because of this situation.
She was very scared. Her mom drove her to the ER and my son met her there from work. I'm very worried about her, such a wonderful mom and wife and DIL. She's 41 and very healthy otherwise, so the doctors say this is a fluke that usually only happens to older people and those in bad health.
So, for the first time, I'm asking you to keep my DIL in your prayers for a safe and speedy recovery.
Thank you,

I love what I do and who I work with. I get to work with a lot of great people that help to teach me new things every single day. I love being active. Whether it's playing racquetball, rock climbing, water skiing, or just going for a walk, that's where I want to be. When I'm not being active, I love learning. I have a tendency to get lost in a new subject when I start to learn one. I don't think my wife likes that too much. Somehow, she puts up with me anyway. I love her.
I'm currently consulting and taking on freelance projects on my own. Please contact me if you're looking for help!
I was previously Director of SEO/PPC at Utah SEO Pros. Full of ups and downs, this was a great learning experience for me.
Before that, I was the Search Team Lead at Fit Marketing, a charming little agency that is growing faster than I can keep up. Props go out to the Fit team, as we were recognized as one of the top 10 fastest growing companies at the 2013 UVEF Top 25 Under 5 event.
I previously worked as an in-house SEO Specialist at Sportsman's Warehouse.
I got my real start in the SEO world at Boostability as an SEO Specialist.
Before my days in SEO, I worked in Ad Operations at KSL.com, which helped me program my brain for marketing and business down the road.

Mike Stachura, equipment editor for Golf Digest, recently tweeted this when he first learned about the advancements in the Idea Tech V4: @MikeStachura "At Adams Golf Tuesday, we talked about this: a technology rich 7-iron hybrid could produce a CT number equal to a driver. #innovationlives"
Designers are able to optimize Velocity Slots Technology in the Idea Tech V4 hybrids by isolating each slot shaping parameter, including the thru-slots resulting in the maximized CT. With the introduction of the original Velocity Slot Technology in the Idea a12 OS hybrids, engineers saw an increase in CT of 20% vs. the Idea Tech V3 hybrids. With the use of Thru Slots in the new Idea Tech V4 hybrids, engineers have achieved an increase in CT of 67% to levelsonly seen before in today's titanium drivers, but done in a stainless steel hybrid. In addition to the hotness of the face, the Idea Tech V4 uses a multi-material construction featuring tungsten heel/toe perimeter weighting in the long irons provides optimal CG location for increased forgiveness & higher launch.

Every year at Franklin High School, all seniors, except those in AP English, must complete a "Senior Project" for their English class. For the projects, students must write a research paper of five to seven pages plus do an eight to ten minute presentation. The projects can be on any subject the student wants. The only catch, says Katie Alland, a student in Mrs. Susan Allen's class, is the projects must be about something completely new for the student.
"We're supposed to learn something new," said Alland, who chose to do her project on photography. As part of the research for her project, Alland shadowed Macon County News photographer Vickie Carpenter for two days, getting tips and going to news events to get an idea of what the job entails.

The economic regulator of the water and sewerage sectors in England and Wales
Ofwat (The Water Services Regulation Authority) is the economic regulator of the water and sewerage sectors in England and Wales. We are here to make sure that the companies provide household and business consumers with a good quality service and value for money. Find out more about us, and about the water and sewerage sectors.
Hot topics
Ofwat has published draft price controls for water and sewerage companies in England and Wales
The draft decisions mean average bills for water and wastewater customers would fall by around 5% in real terms between 2015 and 2020. Customers would also see better levels of service. This would be supported by a substantial investment programme worth more than £43 billion – or almost £2000 for every household in England and Wales.
Companies and other stakeholders can make representations on our draft decisions until 3 October 2014. We will publish our final decisions in December 2014. Find out more about our draft determinations.
Buying water and wastewater services from unlicensed businesses
There are unlicensed people or businesses that may try to sell you water and wastewater services. These businesses are usually called 'billing agents'. They may phone you at home or knock on your door. Billing agents may offer to contact your licensed water company for you to get a discount on your water bill or get you a refund of money you have already paid. Billing agents will charge you money for doing these things.
Find out more about billing agents.
Could you save money with a water meter?
If you are struggling to pay your water bill and you do not have a water meter, you may be able to save money on your bill by switching to a water meter. Household customers in England and Wales can choose to have a meter fitted in their homes free of charge. The amount you may save depends on how much you pay now, the number of people living in the property and how much water you use. Find out more about water meters.
