In Memoriam
It is with deepest sympathy that we announce the death in September of James J. Corbalis, Jr., P.E., age 87.

Born in Yonkers, N.Y. in 1913, Mr. Corbalis was a 1940 graduate of Manhattan College. He did graduate work in sanitary engineering at Virginia Tech. Following service in the U.S. Navy Civil Engineers Corps during World War II, he returned to his position as a sanitary engineer with Fairfax County. In 1953, Mr. Corbalis was named engineer-director of the Alexandria City Sanitation Authority. As the first engineer-director of the Fairfax County Water Authority in 1958, he was considered the authority’s founding father. The county’s Corbalis Water Treatment Plant is named in his honor.

During his career, Mr. Corbalis held many leadership positions in several engineering and technical organizations. He was president of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers; director of the National Society of Professional Engineers; director of the American Water Works Association; president of the Virginia Water Pollution Control Association; and president of the Virginia Waste and Sewer Authorities Association. ##
