👏 Congratulations to our Public Works Director! 👏
We’re excited to share that our Public Works Director has officially earned his Water Operator 1 Certification ✅. This certification is required to operate Roy’s water system, and it ensures our community continues to have safe and reliable water service.
This achievement came after months of hard work and close coordination with the Washington State Department of Health to meet compliance deadlines ahead of schedule.
Please join us in congratulating him on this important accomplishment that directly supports the health and future of our community! 💧🌟
