AVON, IN, April 19, 2010 -- West Central Conservancy District (WCCD) in Avon is being recognized for the second consecutive year for its outstanding plant performance in the collection, treatment and disposal of sewage and other liquid wastes. The award is presented by Aqua-Aerobic Systems Inc., a leader in the design and manufacture of wastewater treatment equipment and systems for both municipal and industrial worldwide markets.
WCCD is being recognized for its daily efforts to run plant systems at the most efficient and effective levels possible.
