David Fitka
Water and Sewer
Operator
David Fitka works at the PHS water
facility for the city of Marshall. He operates the water and sewer
plant. He received a certificate from the state in water treatment
and distribution plus job experience. He also has a high school
diploma. Most of the time David works in the pumphouse. His
supervisers are the city office personnel and state inspectors. David
works three hours a day during the winter and gets paid thirteen
dollars an hour. He works much longer hours during the summer with
much overtime.
Four of his responsibilities in the
pumphouse are: to record daily water usage, monitor chlorine and
flouride levels in water, maintain and repair water/sewer collection
or distribution systems, and send in monthly and yearly water
samples.
The best thing about his job is
maintaining good water quality for a healthy community. The worst
thing about his job is the sewer systems. His advice to the people
who might want to do his job later is learn to use math and science
skills and to stay in school.
