CLOVERDALE -- Richard Saucerman, water treatment manager for the Town of Cloverdale, was presented with Water System Operation Specialist of the Year Award from Alliance of Indiana Rural Water during its recent spring conference in French Lick.

Saucerman began working for the Town of Cloverdale in 1995.

He was nominated for the award by Cloverdale Clerk-Treasurer Cheryl Galloway.

“Richard knows every waterline and 90 percent of the wastewater lines and the history that only a 20-year employee would know,” Galloway praised. “His knowledge has been a blessing along with saving the utility customer money on more than one occasion.

“He is a treasure to this town and the associates he works with,” Galloway added.

The Alliance of Indiana rural Water is a nonprofit membership association of more than 800 water and wastewater systems and related professionals.
