City of Concord Receives Service Award

Concord General Services received the 2015 Utility Service Award from the New England Water Works Association (NEWWA), the region’s oldest and largest non-profit organization combined of water works professionals dedicated to protect and improve drinking water and water utility operations.

NEWWA’s Utility Service Award recognizes utilities that have significantly contributed to supporting the NEWWA by participating in committee activities, developing member programs, providing volunteer services, and offering material and financial resources. Concord General Services’ Water Treatment Superintendent, Marco Philippon, accepted the award at NEWWA’s 2015 Annual Conference on September 22, 2015.

Philippon is a member of the Facilities Committee and Distribution and Storage Committee. Concord General Services’ Deputy Director, Philip Bilodeau, is the New Hampshire representative on the NEWWA Board of Directors. Bilodeau is also a member of the Site Selection Committee, Executive Committee, and Wire Wound Prestressed Concrete Water Tanks Committee. Concord General Services is also a member of Partnership for Safe Water and is committed to providing water at standards even better than the established water quality guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
