The Upson County Commission recognized Gerald “Brim” Howell as the June Employee Of The Month at Tuesday’s regular meeting. County Manager Kyle Hood presented Howell with a certificate.
Danny Johnson, Superintendent of the county water department attended the presentation and praised Howell’s job performance, he released the following statement.
Gerald “Brim” Howell became a member of Team Upson in August of 2009 from the City of Thomaston Water Department where he had been employed for eleven years. Gerald’s experience in distribution repair impressed me but it was his eagerness to accept more responsibility that set him apart. Brim asked if he could learn to take samples and treat water and within a month of this request he was performing these duties.
Brim has continued to learn and accept more responsibility. He now regularly collects samples for bacteria test as well as other microbiological test. Brim has become familiar with the automated water system and his knowledge of our water system is impressive. Recently, Brim has accepted the role of Water Department Safety Coordinator.
While Brim continues to learn and grow as a water department employee, the one constant thing is his personality. Brim’s constant smile, humor and his big heart make it a pleasure to not only work around him but call him a friend.
