CULLMAN, Alabama. – The Cullman City Council took a moment during its meeting Monday to recognize the city’s wastewater treatment plant, which was recently recognized as the best in Alabama.
Council Utilities Committee Chairman David Moss told the council and audience, “For the second time in three years, Cullman’s wastewater treatment plant is recognized as the best-operated plant in its category in the state of Alabama. This is based on test results, safety and overall operations. They have ranked in the top three for the last four years, but they are recognized as the No. 1 plant in the state. It’s very tough competition and we can be very proud of that.”
