Apply for work with the Sewer Authority, please

It was a point stressed yesterday by the board chairman, Brian Ramey of Westminster, the dollars required to treat the county’s piped wastewater is one thing.  As important are the men and women who work at the job.  And these days, like many other employers, Oconee’s Joint Regional Sewer Authority is having trouble attracting enough job applicants to do the work.  Two recent resignations by JRSA workers to take higher-paying jobs elsewhere were a matter of great concern at yesterday’s board meeting.  Chris Eleazer, the executive director, said prior experience is not a requirement.  The authority will train novices.
