North Shore Water Reclamation District Recognizes Brian Dorn

The Board of Trustees of the North Shore Water Reclamation District (NSWRD) recently recognized Brian Dorn, Executive Director of the NSWRD for his 30-years of service to the District. Daniel Pierce, President of the District, presented Dorn with a commemorative gold coin and a certificate of service expressing appreciation for Dorn’s decades of commitment to the NSWRD and to protecting the environment. “During his tenure Brian Dorn has overseen the development and operation of a state of the art wastewater treatment organization to protect Lake Michigan,” stated Daniel Pierce. “We are grateful for his continued contributions to the work of the District.”

In 1989 Brian Dorn was hired by the NSWRD as an Engineer. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming an Engineer of Design and Construction, a Director of Engineering Services, a Special Projects Manager, an Assistant General Manager, and in 2005, General Manager/Executive Director, his current position with the NSWRD. Upon receiving the award, Dorn stated, “I appreciate the opportunities the District has provided me to advance my professional career in the clean water industry and I especially acknowledge the support I have received from the District’s employees and Board of Trustees.”

The North Shore Water Reclamation District is a municipal body dedicated to the beneficial reuse of our water resources while protecting Lake Michigan, local waterways, and the environment through sustainable and fiscally responsible wastewater reclamation practices at our facilities. The NSWRD owns and operates 3 major Water Reclamation Facilities (WRF) located in Gurnee, Waukegan, and Highland Park, Illinois, and more than 100 miles of intercepting sewer lines and 10 pumping stations which collect and convey wastewater from local sewer systems to the WRFs. Additional NSWRD facilities include the Biosolids Recycling Facility in Zion, the Administration Building and Laboratory in Gurnee, and the Maintenance Building in Waukegan. The NSWRD is governed by an elected Board of Trustees vested with full powers to tax and enact all necessary rules within District boundaries that are the Wisconsin border on the north, Lake-Cook Road on the south, Lake Michigan on the east, and the I-94 toll road on the west.
