Roswell water utility wins multiple industry awards; city recognizes staff for plant operations and public education
Summary
The City of Roswell’s water utility was honored with several awards, including the Georgia Association of Water Professionals Public Education Award (gold), awards for distribution excellence and the Best Operated Water Plant of the Year for its size category.
Roswell’s Environmental Public Works and water utility staff were recognized by the City Council on May 27 for multiple industry awards, including a first‑time Public Education Award from the Georgia Association of Water Professionals (GAWP) and the organization’s Best Operated Water Plant of the Year for the appropriate size category.
Jennifer Flowers, representing the Georgia Association of Water Professionals, presented the awards and praised the utility’s educational programming and operational compliance. “The first award… is the GAWP Public Education Award. This is the first time that Roswell has won this award,” Flowers said, noting the award recognizes creativity and superior educational programming.
Flowers and city presenters also noted the city received awards for distribution system excellence and that staff placed highly in professional competitions at the GAWP conference. The Best Operated Water Plant award recognizes facilities that score at least 90% during peer evaluations.
City leaders acknowledged the utility team and the elected officials for supporting the resources that allow safe drinking water delivery. Director Brian Watson and utility staff were asked to come forward for recognition and photographs.
The council’s recognition was ceremonial; no policy or budget decisions were tied to the awards during the meeting.
