Laura Longa took a tour of the Fiesta Village Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant soon after receiving her college degree in biology.
Fascinated by the processes, especially the microorganisms, she signed on as a trainee. After hours of study and working as an operator trainee, she achieved her certification. “Everybody here was helpful,” she remembers. “Even when I was here by myself, I got answers.”Now, after five years at the plant she’s being promoted to lead operator. That’s how it goes in Lee County, Florida, site of the Fiesta Village and Three Oaks water reclamation facilities south and east of Fort Myers.
