Working Together for Clean Water

About

Hello! I'm Jason, and I am an Operator II. I currently hold a Class C/D Municipal Wastewater licenses in the State of Michigan. I find it rewarding working with our team of professionals and mentoring colleagues with less experience. Working together, our efforts are making a positive impact on our lakes and rivers. Keeping our waters clean for wildlife and people alike is both satisfying and fulfilling for me.
