CPW Wastewater Treatment plant employees were recognized for the Gold Peak Performance Award Tuesday during the monthly Commissioners meeting Tuesday.
Greer Commission of Public Works has received the Gold Peak Performance Award from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA).
Greer’s Maple Creek Wastewater plant met all National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit limits during the 2015 calendar year, meaning it did not have any permit violations.
Greer’s Maple Creek Wastewater plant serves more than 12,500 customers and has a capacity of five million gallons a day with plans to expand to 10 million gallons a day.
“We are very honored to receive the Gold Peak Performance Award for the second year in a row,” said Ronnie Turner, Greer CPW Water Wastewater Operations Manager. “I believe this shows the quality of our environmental operators and equipment that work every day to make sure properly treated quality water returns to the South Tyger River.”
NACWA recognized 451 Peak Performance Award facilities during the Association’s 2016 Utility Leadership Conference and 46th Anniversary Annual Meeting in Denver, Colo.
“Greer Commission of Public Works is an outstanding example of environmental efforts,” Adam Krantz, NACWA’s CEO stated.
