Mr. Bonnie Ray Bunting, a retiree from GUC’s Water Department, and his wife, Betsy, wrote a letter complimenting the crew who fixed a gas leak at their house. The crew consisted of Crew Leader Paul Bunch, and Gas Systems Technicians Chris Wallace, Ron Davenport, and Curtis Dixon. “They were so professional from beginning to end, and it was cold and after hours,” said the Buntings. “We were also happy with how clean they left the work site. These guys were super.”

Mr. Joyner Washburn called in a compliment to the crew who repaired a sewer leak. The crew consisted of Pipe Crew Leader Butch Stroud, Equipment Operators Dean Roberson and Cutler Elks, and Pipe Layers Maurice Ampley, Corbin Congleton, and Kevin Hudson. “They worked together well - the best teamwork I have ever seen,” he said. “They did a great job.  It was a real pleasure to watch them work.”

Pam Ferris, STEM Coordinator with Wellcome Middle School, wrote an email thanking Jonathan Sergeant (Energy Services), Seth Shoneman (Energy Services), Crystal Respess (Wastewater Treatment Plant – WWTP), Travis Lancaster (WWTP), and Karen Foster (WWTP) for their demonstrations to the students during the school’s recent STEM Fair. “Our students spoke quite highly of your displays,” she wrote.
