Greene County water and sewer team wins Virginia Association of Counties achievement award
Summary
Greene County's Water and Sewer Department received the Virginia Association of Counties 'best small county achievement' award for cross-training staff, improving resilience and winning water-quality recognition; a state association representative presented the honor.
The Greene County Water and Sewer Department received a Virginia Association of Counties achievement award recognizing the county's small-county program to cross-train staff between water and wastewater operations. Dane Tutzer of the Virginia Association of Counties presented the award and praised the county's work to create a model other localities could follow.
A county official described the department's creation in 2023 after acquisition from the Rapidan Service Authority, explained licensing and training requirements for operators, and credited a cross-training program for improving resilience and water-quality performance. The county said the program allowed operators to gain both water and wastewater licensure while maintaining service coverage.
