The CCMUA has experienced a lot of change in the last 4+ years. From Covid disruptions, to the retirement and passing of cherished long-term employees, to upgrades of process units at the plant and pump stations, to the renovations of the Administration and Services building – change has impacted each of us. And while change is constant and necessary — especially in a complex industry like wastewater treatment — I am personally looking forward to getting everyone back to a sense of normalcy when the buildings are finally complete. High on the priority list is an Authority-wide luncheon that is currently being planned and which will be formally announced soon. We will also be resuming in-person All Employee Meetings on a routine basis, with the first being in September. These opportunities will allow for folks to gather and share both formally and informally. With any luck, the union contract will be settled by that time as well, and we can all concentrate on getting back to our “new normal”.
