Homer's Lead Water Distribution & Sewer Collection Operator Wins Award
Congratulations to Richard Klopp, the City of Homer's lead water distribution and wastewater collection operator for winning the 2018 Wastewater Operator of the Year award from the Alaska Rural Water Association.
Richard Klopp has over 30 years of experience in both public and private sector. He has been a lead operator in Homer for 5 years. In that time he has made major improvements to the Distribution and Collections System preventive maintenance program, including smoke testing the collection system to quickly detect and repair structural damages, leaking joints and other problems in sewer pipes. Inflow and infiltration of stormwater into the system is costly due to the additional waste water treatment required.
Richard's improvements have resulted in reduced cost in operations and has also reduced emergency call outs for operators, reducing labor cost. His energy conservation efforts have resulted in over $50,000 saving since 2015.
He is an asset to both Water and Sewer Department and the City of Homer. Thank you and congratulations!
