Division wins eight safety awards at AZ Water Conference
Posted
Kevin Rose, Scottsdale Water Resources administrator, was awarded Operations Leader of the Year at the 2022 Arizona Water Conference in April while the division took home multiple safety awards for each of its facilities.
Rose was nominated after distinguishing himself as a respected leader within the division and city since starting at Scottsdale in 2017. Overseeing 180 employees and 80% of the division’s operating budget, Rose directs all utility operating departments including water, wastewater and recycled water operations which encompasses supervisory control and data acquisition along with instrumentation controls.
“I’m humbled and honored to receive such praise, especially from the peers I work with and employees I serve,” Rose stated in a press release. “It’s really my employees who make the difference and at Scottsdale Water, we have some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated staff who I’ve ever had the privilege to work with.”
Scottsdale Water was also recognized for its outstanding safety performance with eight different operations receiving awards. The Award of Honor for the safe operation of a facility with zero lost days during the year and a minimum of one man-year worked (2,080 hours) was awarded to:
Wastewater Collection
Scottsdale Water Reclamation Plant
Central Groundwater Treatment Facility
CAP Treatment Plant
Advance Water Treatment Plant
Gainey Ranch Treatment Plant
Awards of Merit were also given to Chaparral Treatment Facility and Scottsdale Water’s Production/Distribution group for the safe operation of a facility with less than the maximum number of lost days.
