Service Awards 

Josh Dickens / 30 Years
Josh Dickens, Water Resources Systems Operations/Maintenance Crew Leader, recently celebrated 30 years of service with Greenville Utilities. His responsibilities include maintaining more than 3,500 fire hydrants and almost 14,000 valves within our water system. His crew is also first on the scene for any large water main breaks. It’s their job to shut down the mains and notify customers. Additionally, Josh is responsible for our flushing program, Operation Spring Clean, a massive undertaking that includes 13 weeks of cleaning all 725 miles of water distribution lines. “There are many things I’ve enjoyed at GUC over the last 30 years, but the different people I’ve had a chance to work with tops the list,” he said. “I am the employee I am today because others poured their knowledge into me. A big reason I have 30 years of service is because the people I get to work with enjoy their jobs, which creates a great work environment.”
