Following Hurricane Florence, OWASA is back to normal operations, but other communities remain in recovery. Last week, we received an alert that a neighboring town might need assistance. Some of their wastewater pump stations were at risk of over flowing: Did anyone have a Vac-Truck and a few good people they could send to help? Christian Arvizu-Garcia and Harrison Ray were the first among many OWASA employees to volunteer to provide support. They got OWASA’s Vac-Truck ready and remained on standby. What happened next? Read more here.
