Code of Ethics
For
Ohio Water Environment Association
Adopted June 17, 1964
Cincinnati, Ohio

As one engaged in providing public and private wastewater treatment, and as a member of the
Ohio Water Environment Association, I hold to the following principles:

  1. To perform my duties to the best of my ability in the operations of facilities for which I
    am responsible.

  2. To endeavor to keep myself informed in the technology of my field, utilizing membership
    and participation in technical and professional organizations, technical, literature, and
    research whenever possible.

  3. To refrain from participating in any endeavor which to my knowledge is fraudulent or
    contrary to public and private welfare, or contrary to the welfare of my employer.

  4. To oppose incompetent and incomplete inspections, sampling, analysis, testing,
    consultation, development, and research work. And in all instances, to exemplify
    complete intellectual honesty in obtaining, interpreting and reporting data.

  5. To refrain from making degrading remarks about fellow members or any insinuations
    tending to lower confidence in the waste treatment field. This does not preclude,
    however, rendering professional opinions on specific applications resulting from the
    endeavors of others.

  6. To refrain from offering reduced fees knowingly, for services being performed by
    another competent person in this field.

  7. To place service before gain, being truthful in all endeavors, and in humility with the
    need for divine guidance I make this pledge.
