“Receiving this award is a real honor as it is a tribute to the quality service we provide as a district,” said Paul Bowen, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Taylors Fire and Sewer District. “The award emphasizes that successfully operating a collection system requires collaborative efforts among different disciplines.”
“Being recognized in this way for the first time as a district is gratifying as it validates the excellence of the work our team does, and does consistently,” said Samantha Babb, Director of Sewer Services for the Taylors Fire and Sewer District. “We take our work seriously and will continue to strive to set the bar high for our team and exceed the expectations of those we serve in the Taylors District.”
