Westin Lee, one of our Treatment Plant Operators was selected as our May 2021 Employee of the Month. Westin always goes above and beyond when serving our customers. His attitude toward customers is a good example of our expectations for customer service. For instance, we had a customer move out and he left his garbage can overflowing and did not put the can at the road to be picked up by the garbage service. A new customer purchased the house and was moving in on Thursday. When Westin went out to do a final reading, he noticed that the can was full.
