This article is brought to you by Elect Lisa Washington for Howard County Commissioner District 1. As your county commissioner, I will bring transparency & accountability to local government where it is sorely lacking, ensure our county facilities & infrastructure are properly managed, meaning taxpayer dollars are used more effectively, and bridge the gap in communication between our local and state elected officials to ensure your voice is heard by everyone who represents you.

Indiana American Water announced that two of its water treatment plants have been recognized by the Partnership for Safe Water at the Directors level for achieving water quality excellence.
These national awards honor utilities that demonstrate a commitment to optimizing water treatment plant performance and providing high-quality drinking water. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) presented the awards.
“Safe, clean and reliable tap water is critical to our customers and communities, which is why Indiana American Water holds itself to high standards and is a proud and longstanding member of the Partnership for Safe Water,” said Kari Britto, Vice President of Operations, Indiana American Water. “When customers turn on their tap, they can feel confident knowing there’s a dedicated team in their community delivering water that meets or surpasses state and federal drinking water standards.”
Indiana American Water’s Kokomo-Wildcat Creek Water Treatment Plant was one of the recipients of the 25-Year Directors Award, recognizing 25 years of consistent excellence in water treatment optimization and regulatory compliance.
“We’re proud of our team of water quality professionals, treatment plant operators and engineers who support our systems,” Britto added. “These awards reflect their long-standing dedication to protecting public health and delivering high-quality service for our customers every day.”
The Partnership for Safe Water is a voluntary, industry-driven program focused on enhancing water system performance beyond regulatory requirements, with an emphasis on improving treatment processes and reducing risk.
Indiana American Water, a subsidiary of American Water, is the largest regulated water utility in the state, providing safe, clean, reliable, and affordable water and wastewater services to approximately 1.5 million people.
