Local Wastewater Operators Persevere to Improve Our Public Waterways
The latest issue of Estuary Magazine includes an article highlighting the effort that wastewater professionals put into protecting the Connecticut River, prominently featuring two Veolia-managed facilities in the Massachusetts Pioneer Valley – Holyoke and Springfield.
Working collaboratively with partners like the City of Holyoke, as well as the Springfield Water & Sewer Commission, Veolia North America is tackling the day-to-day duties of environmental stewardship for this vital artery that runs right through the heart of New England.
“This story is a great testimony to the patient and quiet work done by operators all over the country," said Karine Rouge, President and CEO of Veolia North America's Municipal Water business.
The article, written by Bill Hobbs, spotlights the passion of the industry’s trained and certified personnel, who not only work but also live in this region, as they routinely demonstrate their dedication to keeping it healthy and clean in the face of ever-evolving challenges.
“More work needs to be done to manage CSOs,” wrote Hobbs, “but credit must be given to the men and women who are on the front lines in wastewater treatment plants and in Public Works Departments.”
