Two of PWC’s employees were recently named 2021 Operators of the Year by the North Carolina Waterworks Operators Association recently.
GARY THOMPSON was named the A-Surface Operator of the Year. He joined the team in 1995 and currently serves as the Senior Treatment Plant Operator for the P.O. Hoffer Water Treatment Facility. “Gary is an asset to our operations and we are thankful to have him as part of our team,” said Jason Green, PWC’s Water Treatment Facilities Manager. “His experience and willingness to train the next generation of Operators has helped ensure we continue to meet our treatment goals today and into the future.”
DEQUANTE MOORE has been with PWC’s Glenville Lake Water Treatment Facility since 2020. He was named the C-Surface Operator of the Year. “We are lucky to have DeQuante on our team,” said Green. “He has excelled at learning the treatment process, works hard to constantly improve his knowledge, and has done an excellent job on training his newest coworkers at Glenville.” “Gary and DeQuante are two members of our highly competent operator team that is responsible for making sure we meet PWC customer expectations, as well as maintaining compliance with safe water requirements,” said Mick Noland, PWC’s chief operations officer for the water resources division.
