Thank You's

William Proctor called to compliment Melvin Foreman for providing excellent customer service during a routine meter change out at Mr. Proctor's home. "Melvin was very professional and represented Greenville Utilities very well by answering all of my questions and making sure everything was safe before he left," he said.

The following ran in The Daily Reflector's Bless Your Heart (BYH) column on September 25th: BYH to the Greenville Utilities crews coming home on Thursday. I was working, but sure wish I could have been there to welcome you all back safely to Greenville and your families. Job well done!

Leigh Ann Odom called to compliment Gas Staff Support Specialist Shirley Peele for her assistance with a number of routine gas meter changes performed at the apartment complex where Ms. Odom works. "Each time I spoke to Shirley she was very nice and pleasant, and put me at ease."

Congratulations

Congratulations to Meter Technician Brandon Jones and his wife, Taylor, on their recent marriage.
