of the Fort Kent Water & Wastewater Treatment Department Receives the
NEWEA 2008 Operator Award at Annual NEWEA Conference in Boston,
Massachusetts

Mark Soucy of the Fort
Kent, Maine WasteWater Treatment Facility Receives the Maine Operator
Award.
Mark Soucy is the superintendent of the
Water and Wastewater Departments in Fort Kent, Maine. Mark faced a
formidable situation in the Spring of 2008.
Northern Maine received record snow falls during the Winter of
2007-2008 and the potential flooding was a concern. Fort Kent and
areas of northern Maine withstood flooding of historical proportions
in May 2008. His preparation beforehand, hard work during and
persistence and thorough follow through after the event are a credit
to our profession. Mark's supervision resulted in minimizing the
environmental impacts in Fort Kent and the St. John River.
Even with the phenomenal recovery effort aside, Mark is an
exceptionally conscientious operator. His compliance record is
excellent and his day-to-day operations and maintenance of both
utilities is top notch.
