Meet Jacob Kreutner: Albertville Wastewater Treatment Operator

hired Jacob Kreutner in April as the new Wastewater Treatment Plant operator and Patch sat down and learned a little bit more about both Kreutner and his new role.

Patch: What does a wastewater treatment plant operator do exactly?

Kreutner: A little bit of everything! I run daily samples, do a lot of maintenance work. Right now is a really busy time because we are jetting sewers.

Patch: Where did you work before Albertville?

Kreutner: I graduated from St. Cloud Tech with a degree in water and environmental technologies and started working in the city of Minneapolis right after graduation.

Patch: What was working for the Minneapolis Water Treatment Plant like?

Kreutner: Minneapolis had all the newest technology and top of the line equipment. It was even more advanced than my schooling.

Patch: What are you most excited about in your new position?

Kreutner: I really like the variety of the job, I get to do new stuff everyday and it helps that all the people I work with are friendly and we all get along well.

Patch: As a new Albertville resident, what do you like most about both living and working here?

Kreutner: I like the small town and getting to know a lot of people. The familiarity is something I look forward to.
