MUA pay attention!! As residents, most of us rarely think about our wastewater system because it quietly does its job every day. But that reliability depends on having experienced people behind the scenes. When skilled workers leave, it isn’t something that can be fixed overnight. Training replacements takes time, and valuable knowledge walks out the door with them. We hope local leaders are paying attention and taking steps to keep these essential positions filled. The community depends on these services, and once problems start affecting the public, it may be too late to prevent them.
