Water General Manager, Greg Swanson, was in attendance and accepted both awards on behalf of the City of Moline. “These awards were presented  to the City of Moline on the basis of  engineering excellence and public benefit associated with the innovative upgrade of Moline's Water Treatment Plant,” said Water General Manager Greg Swanson. “The awards reflect Moline's ongoing commitment to excellence in city services and quality of life by providing the public infrastructure necessary to sustain a safe and reliable water supply for years to come.”
