HART — Hart Bio-Pure Superintendent Paul Cutter was recently awarded the Doris Van Dam Operations Professional of the Year Award at the 100th anniversary conference of the Michigan Water Environment Association.
“This award is given to a nominee who has displayed outstanding service to an employer and to MWEA, contributed to the professional growth of co-workers, consistently generated good quality facility effluent, and publicly promoted the profession of the WRRF operator,” states the MWEA website.
“The City of Hart benefits from recruiting and retaining some of the most talented employees in the state,” said Hart City Manager Rob Splane. “The Doris Van Dam award is one of the highest honors in this industry. We are happy to celebrate with Paul and honor his long-serving dedication to our community. Seeing his peers’ respect for him across the region is quite a testament to his character and his history of inspiring others to be great.”
