Floyd County water treatment plant facing staffing shortages

Floyd County officials are working to fill three vacant positions at the county’s water treatment plant, where a shortage of qualified operators has forced some employees to work double shifts to keep operations running around the clock. Assistant Utilities Administrator Steven Foy said the county has struggled to attract applicants for its vacant chief operator position, prompting officials to consider whether the starting salary is competitive with other water systems across Georgia. “They’re even more rare at that higher level,” Foy said. “And, you know, in demand even more so, because that’s your chief operator in terms of record with the EPD.” The position requires a Level 1 water operator license and carries responsibility for overseeing plant operations and regulatory reporting to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. Foy said the county may need to reconsider its advertised salary to attract qualified applicants. The position pays between $25.33 and $29.13 per hour, while the two vacant water plant operator positions have an advertised range of $21.89 to $25.17 per hour. Foy said the county has received several applications for the lower-level positions but has yet to identify a qualified applicant for chief operator. In the meantime, retired chief operator Dave Davis

Eddie Wilson remembered for helping men rebuild their lives at Foundry Farm

CULLMAN, Ala. – Eddie Wilson had planned to pick up a bag of seeds for The Foundry Farm. In its remembrance of the farm’s director, the North Alabama Agriplex said it would make sure those seeds reached their destination. “We will make sure those seeds make it to The Foundry so they can keep growing on the foundations that Eddie started,” the organization said. Eddie Dale Wilson, 62, of Hartselle, died unexpectedly Wednesday, Oct. 28, according to his obituary. He began serving with The Foundry Ministries in 2006 and became program director of its Cullman County farm in 2014. Through gardens, a hen house, expanded housing and a chapel, Wilson worked with residents, volunteers and community partners to develop the farm’s recovery program. In interviews over the years, he described those projects in terms of what they could offer the men who came there seeking help. The Agriplex remembered someone willing to learn so he could teach others. “Eddie wanted to learn more about farming to share with the residents at the Foundry,” its statement said. He began with chickens and a small garden, then enrolled in a small-farm class at Wallace State Community College, according to the Agriplex. He
