Joint Municipal Water and Sewer Commission was recently recognized by the American Water Works Association Partnership for Safe Drinking Water Distribution Program. Our utility received the National Directors Award for meeting program participation and optimized performance criteria. Accepting this distinguished award are Jay Nicholson, CEO/GM, Gene House, Operations Manager, Melinda Lee, Operations Assistant, and Barry Leaphart, Compliance Manager.
The Partnership for Safe Water began in 1995 with its program to optimize water treatment plant performance. Since that time, the program has expanded to include distribution systems. Participation in the program demonstrates a utility’s commitment to quality and safety for consumers.
The goal of the program is to deliver high quality water continuously to all users. Attention to and measurement of basic distribution system parameters results in timely recognition and response to departures from excellence.
All Partnership awards include the endorsement of the U.S. EPA and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators. The Commission will continue participation in the program to ensure optimized delivery of water to our customers that meets the highest standards.
