When the fire department does its job, trucks roar down the streets, sirens blazing. People from miles around may see the smoke. The TV and newspaper photographers arrive. The radio station may report right from the scene. Hours later, or certainly the next day, everyone in town knows what happened. The firefighters look like heroes.And rightly so. But how about when clean-water operators do the extraordinary to keep local waterways clean? There’s no smoke. There are no sirens. There is no news story the next day. Unless of course someone from the plant team decides to talk about it publicly.
