The Daviess County Water District has received the Wooden Bucket Award, which is the highest honor given by the Kentucky Rural Water Association (KRWA).
The Wooden Bucket Award is presented to a water and/or wastewater utility that has made “substantial and lasting improvements in providing high levels of customer service and high-quality drinking water and wastewater services in its community,” according to a release.
Also included in the list of achievements are having shown exceptional efforts in meeting the needs of their communities, enhancing their operations, and complying with regulatory requirements.
“It is a team effort to receive an award such as the Wooden Bucket Award,” said Water Manager Brent Wigginton. “Daviess County Water District has an absolutely great staff from the office to field operations and all credit is due to them. The water district board members also work diligently to provide the needed financial support to achieve the goals we set.”
The Kentucky Rural Water Association is a statewide, nonprofit association that provides training, on-site technical assistance, advocacy, and other services to all utilities — including over 365-member public drinking water and wastewater utilities — in Kentucky.
