2013 Water Operator of the Year: Wayne McHolland.

Congratulations to Wayne McHolland for receiving the 2013 Water Operator of the Year award from the Alaska Rural Water Association!

Wayne has been the manager of the Water Treatment Plant for about 6 years. Wrangell has a slow sand filtration plant with ozonation. However our plant is currently facing efficiency and maintenance issues because the sand and treatments are  not the best match for the chemical make-up of our water.  He has been diligent, and works hard to ensure that during periods of high demand, our water is clean, we have an adequate volume,  and the plant is maintained and water is delivered.

Congratulations to Wayne!
