To the best of my ability, I will strive to provide good service, protect and preserve public health, public property and the environment by correctly operating water supply and wastewater system equipment, properly completing required reports, adhering to relevant State and Federal regulations, continuing my education in the field, and working with my utility managers to establish clear operating policies for the facilities I operate.
