Scott Hand, Operations Supervisor, recently announced his retirement.
He has been with the district for 44 years and is widely known throughout the community and industry. Scott started working for the district when he was 17 as an Operator I. He advanced his career after being promoted to foreman and ultimately Operations Supervisor. Scott has achieved the highest level of certifications in water distribution and wastewater collection offered by the Colorado Water and Wastewater Facility Operators Certification Board.
Scott is well known by many district customers as an employee who goes above and beyond when responding to customers, diagnosing problems, and executing repairs. It is apparent that Scott takes pride in his work. He appreciates the district’s “responsibility and respect to provide safe drinking water and wastewater services to all of our customers.”
When asked what his favorite part of working for the district has been, Scott said “The staff. We are a small group of fifteen, most of us have been here a long time. Even knowing the newer members of the team will probably be here for a long time. It is like family here.”
Scott Hand’s retirement marks the end of an era. His dedication and expertise have undoubtedly left a lasting impact, not just within the district but also throughout the industry. It’s clear that he’s been a significant figure, known and respected by many. While his presence will be missed, it’s also a time to celebrate his contributions and wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.
Thank you, Scott, for your hard work and dedication over the years!
