Wanted: Landmarks & Courageous Service

The NC AWWA-WEA is looking for historic landmarks to nomination for the AWWA American/Canadian/Mexican Water Landmarks Award and people that have gone above and beyond to nominate for the AWWA Courageous Service Award.

The AWWA American/Canadian/Mexican Water Landmarks Award recognizes and preserves an American, Canadian, or Mexican Water Landmark at least 50 years old that has had a direct and significant relationship with water supply, treatment, distribution, or technological development. In 2016, the High Point City Lake Dam aka Arnold J. Koonce, Jr., City Lake Dam in Jamestown, NC was recognized with this honor.

The AWWA Courageous Service Award recognizes one or more individuals who's actions are deserving of recognition. These individuals may be credited with risking their own life by "staying at their post" in an effort to save their water supply. While they may not have saved someone else, they certainly went "above and beyond" the call of duty.

If you know of a location in North Carolina, or of an employee that fits either of these descriptions, please contact Awards Committee Chair, Tom Bach at (704) 920-5344 or bacht@concordnc.gov.
