Tim Kashiwa, Lead Wastewater Operator
"My name is Tim Kashiwa. I'm the lead wastewater operator at Eagle River Water & Sanitation District.”
”Protecting the environment is super important to me, especially as a kayaker. It's important to protect our rivers and keep the water clean for everybody downstream.”
”And Eagle River does an awesome job providing readily available safety trainings, as well as safety, equipment, PPE, things like that. It's also really important to our culture to spend the time to set up things, to make them safe, and do the right thing the right way.”
”We also do a really good job of providing learning opportunities for our employees. I came into the company with some mechanical skills, but not a ton. And I have had numerous opportunities to completely dismantle large pieces of equipment and put 'em back together to get 'em up and running again. I like knowing that I have these supports and resources, especially when I run into snags during those processes to find the right answer and find the right process to keep moving forward."
