Hurty Awards

Each year the Indiana Department of Environmental Management has presented the John N. Hurty Service Award to individuals having 25 years or more of service with one or more Indiana public water utilities. These awards are presented each year at the Indiana Section AWWA Fall District meetings.

The Indiana Section AWWA has provided the administration for these awards for IDEM. Our Executive Board feels that these service awards continue to be a valuable recognition to long-serving public water utility employees; therefore, the Section has volunteered to provide administration of the John N. Hurty Service Awards to maintain its continuance.

Please review your records and advise of your staff that may qualify for the John N. Hurty Award. The below document – Conditions Governing Presentation of the John N. Hurty Award – can guide you in those qualifications.

Nomination Form

Please review your records yearly and submit this information to the Indiana Section AWWA no later than June 1 of each year. Turning this in at a Spring District Meeting is perfect timing and serves as a great reminder.
