Utility board honors two employees with service awards
Summary
The board presented a five‑year service award to Steven "Woody" Wood and a 10‑year award to Devers Deal, highlighting their roles in the city's water and wastewater operations and professional licenses (Wood: Class C water distribution; Deal: Class A wastewater).
The board recognized two utility employees for milestone service. Rick Schafer introduced Steven Wood ("Woody") for a five‑year service award, noting his prior work for a local utility contractor, his transfer into the maintenance division in 2021, and his Class C water distribution license with Class 2 wastewater testing pending. Schafer praised Woody's engagement at public outreach events and his mentorship of younger staff.
Schafer then introduced Devers Deal, an operator at the city's water reclamation facility, for a 10‑year service award and noted that Deal previously worked at the wastewater plant from 1992–2004 and holds a Class A wastewater license that qualifies him to operate and manage any size wastewater facility in Texas. Board members and staff thanked both employees for their service and the meeting included in‑person recognition with family present.
