They are the voices on the phone and behind the counter, greeting the citizens and helping in every way possible. They are the ones out on the streets keeping them clear in the winter and so we can travel safely from home to work and back. They are the ones maintaining our water supply to deliver quality drinking water to all homes. They are the ones who keep the City Council up to date on important issues around the city.
They are much more!
