The National Association Of Water Companies Announces NAWC Living Water Award Recipient

The National Association of Water Companies (NAWC) is pleased to announce that Christopher Parker of CH2M HILL has been selected to receive an NAWC Living Water Award. The NAWC Living Water Awards were established to recognize the private water industry professionals who are “living water” through their extraordinary commitment to quality, service and community.

“Since launching the program at the NAWC Water Summit in October 2012, the NAWC Living Water awards have put a well-deserved spotlight on the outstanding men and women who work as private water professionals in this country,” said Michael Deane, executive director, NAWC. “In this most recent round we were surprised and pleased to see both of our finalists from CH2M HILL, a true testament to their employees. I congratulate Chris Parker on this achievement and also his colleague, Lynn Kronowit who was also named an NAWC Living Awards finalist.”

Chris, a project manager at CH2M HILL, is “living water” through his deep commitment to protecting and improving the quality of the environment. He has dedicated himself to assisting surrounding communities by volunteering in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality “EnvironMentor” program. In this role, he puts his professional experience to work helping local organizations that lack the necessary resources or expertise to comply with state environmental regulations, improve their efficiency and protect the environment.

“CH2M HILL is thrilled to see two of our employees recognized through the NAWC Living Awards program for working tirelessly to provide safe drinking water and to protect our environment,” says Elisa M. Speranza, Operations Management Business Group President. “They are both winners in our book, and not just for the contest but for how they serve their communities every day. Congratulations to Chris for pulling off the win. He has been in the water industry for close to 30 years, and we’re fortunate 18 of them have been with CH2M HILL.”
