According to the release, “the Water Treatment Plant staff continually monitor and test the water to ensure that it has been adequately filtered and cleaned,” with the release noting that “there are 6 members of the city staff responsible for water quality efforts, and they have a combined 97 years of experience.”
The City, in the release, notes that the 6 workers are Jim Owens, a employee of 30 years; Quintin Hefner, 27 years; Jeremy Mercer, 21 years; Robert Hundley, 10 years; Colton Boldridge, 7 years; and Jason Page, and employee of 7 years.
