Hampton, N.H. Wastewater Treatment Plant Recognized for Excellence
The Hampton, N.H. Wastewater Treatment Plant was recently selected by EPA for a 2014 Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Excellence Award.
The Hampton Wastewater Treatment Plant staff, led by Mike Dube, Operations Manager, was recognized by EPA's New England Office for exceptional work in operating and maintaining the wastewater treatment plant. The plant was one of five facilities in New England acknowledged for exemplary performance during 2014.
“The professionals operating these wastewater treatment plants, as
well as the municipalities and the state environmental agencies that support
them, are essential to keeping our environment healthy by protecting water
quality. I am proud to give them the credit they deserve,” said
Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England Office.
The EPA Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Excellence Award was established
to recognize and honor the employees of publicly owned wastewater treatment
plants for its commitment to improving water quality with outstanding
plant operations and maintenance. More often than not, and particularly
with the smaller facilities, conscientious operators and staff continue
to perform exceptionally with limited resources.
The Hampton Wastewater Treatment Plant was acknowledged for its outstanding
work on January 28, 2015 at the annual New England Water Environment Association
Conference in Boston. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
was instrumental in nominating this facility.
