LCWSC Team Attends WEASC Operator Conference as Roger Bubba Cash Receives Quarter Century Operator Award

Members of the Laurens County Water & Sewer Commission (LCWSC) team attended the Water Environment Association of South Carolina (WEASC) Operator Conference November 2–4 in Myrtle Beach, joining water and wastewater professionals from across the state for continuing education and the recognition of industry service.

During the conference, LCWSC team member Roger “Bubba” Cash received the Quarter Century Operator Award, recognizing 25 years of dedicated service in the water environment industry. The award honors the service and dedication of professionals who operate and support water and wastewater treatment and transportation facilities. Recipients must have 25 years of significant, full-time participation in the industry, including at least 10 years actively involved in daily collection, distribution, maintenance, treatment, laboratory work or facility management.

“Bubba’s experience represents years of work helping provide the essential services our community depends on,” said Steve Griffin, LCWSC Construction Manager. “This award recognizes the dedication it takes to build a career in this field. We’re proud to see him honored and grateful for the knowledge and experience he brings to our team.”

The annual conference provides technical sessions, workshops and opportunities to exchange ideas with other operators and explore equipment and technologies. Continued education helps utility employees strengthen their skills, respond to operational challenges and stay informed about practices that support dependable service.

LCWSC’s participation reflects its commitment to employee development and its core values: Safe, Reliable, Proactive, Sustainable and Partners. Investing in training helps employees work safely and proactively, supports reliable operations and the long-term care of infrastructure, and builds partnerships with fellow water professionals.

The conference brought together two important parts of that commitment: developing the skills needed for the future and recognizing the experience that strengthens the industry today. LCWSC congratulates Cash on this career milestone and appreciates his service to the water profession.
