This team is being recognized for expert and efficient handling of the March 14, 2019, sewer leak on HG Trueman Road, Lusby Md. The leak was in the 4-mile long Solomons sewer force main. Unlike a water main, the flow and pressure in these pipes can be reduced, but never stopped completely. This nine-person team worked in difficult and unpleasant conditions to repair the leak, minimizing any environmental impact, while maintaining continuous service to all Water & Sewer customers.
The Department of Public Works, Water and Sewer employees were invited to the June 4, 2019 meeting of the Calvert Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) where each was presented a framed “Team Excellence” certificate.
Congratulations to each for a job well done!
