Massachusetts Water Pollution Control
Association award names it the best-run small wastewater treatment
plant in the region
United Water announced today that the Massachusetts Water
Pollution Control Association (MWPCA) has recognized the Town of
Cohasset, MA, wastewater treatment plant—operated and maintained by
United Water—as the best small wastewater treatment facility in the
state. United Water has been operating the plant since January
2011.

“United Water takes its job as an environmental trustee very
seriously and we are committed to helping communities protect our
shared natural resources,” said Nadine Leslie, president of United
Water’s Environmental Services segment. “We are very proud of the
dedication of our Cohasset staff, especially that of Mark Cataldo,
the project manager, and Tim Swimm, the plant operator.”
“Cohasset is located in a very environmentally sensitive area.
It’s crucial to have our wastewater treatment plant operated and
maintained in such a way that protects the environment,” said Diane
Hindley of the Cohasset Sewer Commission. “United Water does that
well.”
MWPCA President Ray Willis said after the awards ceremony,
“Often times, many citizens in our communities overlook or just are
unaware of the work that goes on behind the scenes, and
underground, to provide clean and safe water to them. Wastewater
treatment is the ‘forgotten infrastructure’ in many ways – while
everyone notices roads and bridges, our water reclamation
facilities quietly do their job, for the most part unnoticed. It is
an honor to be able to present such prestigious awards to the Town
of Cohasset facility and its operators today; their achievements
are truly outstanding, given the tremendous competition from other
facilities in the state. The performance exhibited by this
facility’s group of operators is a great example of the high level
of commitment and professionalism that is a goal of all water
quality professionals in this state.”
Tom Azevedo, a member of MWPCA’s board of directors and an
assistant plant manager at United Water’s project in East
Providence, RI presented the award. MWPCA is a non-profit
organization established in 1965, to provide education, training,
and promote the exchange of information among operators and water
quality professionals.
