New England Wastewater Treatment Plants Recognized for Excellence

The Adams, MA, Wastewater Treatment Plant; Lee, MA, Wastewater Treatment Plant; Uxbridge, MA, Wastewater Treatment Plant; Gorham, NH, Wastewater Treatment Plant; and Westerly, RI, Wastewater Treatment Plant were each recently selected by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a 2012 Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Excellence Award.

The staff of these wastewater treatment plants were recognized by EPA’s New England Office for exceptional work in operating and maintaining the plants.

The EPA Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Excellence Award was established to recognize and honor the employees of publicly owned wastewater treatment plants for its commitment to improving water quality with outstanding plant operations and maintenance. According to EPA, more often than not, and particularly with the smaller facilities, conscientious operators and staff continue to perform exceptionally with limited resources.

The Uxbridge Wastewater Treatment Plant staff was acknowledged for its outstanding work on 30 January at the annual New England Water Environment Association Conference in Boston.
