What a coincidence at work today. First thing I had to work on was the sewage pump system at the mill main office. Everything in the control panel was in order and it appeared the the problem was with one of the tank float switches. I helped one of the millwrights pop the top on the tank and we inspected the floats. After cleaning the poop, corn and toilet paper off the floats, we tested them an found one was bad. It was a nasty job. Has me wondering if this is something I want to do on a daily basis. Must be an omen. lol! I've had cows and sheep crap all over me and it never bothered me but something about human poop is really disgusting to me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Bill, this would be several small town municipal water treatment plants that are ran by the county public utility. They refer to it as a "operator 1 position". The operator would have to help operate and maintain each of the plants. Whoever they hire will be required to obtain certifications for water distribution manager within a year of being hired. Responsibilities include operating and maintenance, light welding and metal work, plumbing and replacing water meter services, electrical and mechanical troubleshooting.
The pay and benefits are very good but but I'm just wondering if this is something I'll look forward to doing every day. lol! I really like the job I have now and finally have worked my way into a position where I look forward to coming to work. (except for today) The pay isn't quite as high as the wastewater job but the electrical dept has it pretty cake most of the time. No poop to play in normally anyway. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the responses guys. Appreciate it.
