Spotlight On Alderson
Today
the
“A-Team”
spotlight
is
on
Joshua
Phillips.
Josh
came
to
us
certified
as
a
Class
2
Water
Treatment
Operator.
In
order
to
have
as
many
cross
trained
staff
as
possible,
he
went
to
the
Waste
Water
Treatment plant and worked up from Operator in Training to a Class 1 Waste Water Operator.
Josh
has
been
a
great
help
combating
inflow
and
infiltrate
with
the
rest
of
the
Waste
Water
Team.
As
you
can
see
in
the
pictures,
he’s
not
afraid
to
get
dirty.
He
also
is
pretty
stout
and
he
will
get
into
the
big
jobs
that requires muscle. He’s lost about fifty pounds while he’s been with us.
Being
dual
certified
now
makes
him
even
more
of
an
asset
than
before.
All
of
the
Waste
Water
operators
are
still
in
the
learning
mode
with
their
new
plant
upgrades.
They
all
are
unseen
key
people
that
without,
we would all be in a mess.
We
are
proud
to
be
able
to
afford
to
have
a
staff
of
three
credentialed
operators
in
Waste
Water.
They
have
truly
made
a
huge
difference
in
our
operations
,
especially
in
reducing
inflow
and
infiltrate
of
non-
waste
water
in
our
system.
They
will
tell
you
it
is
a
never
ending
process,
but
there
is
proof
of
their
accomplishments in our major reduction of daily flow and during rainfalls.
Thank
you
Josh
for
making
us
“Alderson
Proud!”
Thank
you
Amy,
Declan,
Greenlee,
and
Kendyll
for
understanding dad’s job and being great support for him as he does his part in the “Gem of the Hills.”
