At the March Leadership Forum, Jeff Willman, Vice President, Water Operations, announced the 2021 Hurty Award recipients.
The John N. Hurty Award is named after John Newell Hurty, M.D., who was the State Health Commissioner from 1896 to 1922. He was instrumental in the formation of an organization of community water systems operators, which was the forerunner to the American Water Works Association (AWWA).
Recipients of the Hurty Award must have been employed 25 years or more in some phase of production or distribution in the waterworks field, serving the residents of Indiana.
Recipients receive a certificate signed by the Governor and the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, and a lapel pin. An advanced lapel pin is given to those eligible for each additional five-year period of service.
