this annual event shares our work and connects it to the people we serve. But it also celebrates the jobs and people that make clean water possible. every department showcases their team’s creativity and energy in their own way. nope definitely not crying behind my safety glasses.

Matt took be to a restored stretch of Doan Brook this week to show me how a healthy tree canopy can develop in just a few short years. some of these trees were planted and other took root on their own as part of a stormwater project we finished around 2019.
