Keeping Lake Tahoe's Water Flowing Highlights Seventh Edition of ElectricTV.net

BETHESDA, Md., April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Clean, convenient water: it's perhaps a community's most precious resource. So when it came time to bring Lake Tahoe, Nevada's outmoded water plant up-to-date, the community tapped the combined strength of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) to deliver the critical modernization under the most extreme conditions. The story of their success highlights the latest edition of ElectricTV.net -- a joint production of NECA-IBEW and the only online TV program dedicated to news and information from the electrical construction and information systems industries.

The program details how the NECA-IBEW team, working under pressure, took the plant from a manual system requiring constant maintenance to the next generation of water treatment facilities in record time, ahead of schedule -- and with only a momentary interruption in service.

Included in the seventh edition of ElectricTV.net is a discussion with financial analyst Chris Lissner of Acropolis Investment Management about what's fact and what's fiction in the economic outlook for the construction industry. Also spotlighted is a unique NECA-IBEW photovoltaic training program that's developing the highly skilled specialists necessary to create today's sophisticated solar power systems. As always, the site offers links to articles of interest. Plus, viewers can subscribe to email alerts announcing the release of new editions.
