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 is in its seventh year of providing the administration for these awards.  Due to State budget constraints, IDEM is no longer able to provide the management of these awards.  The Indiana Section Executive Board feels that these service awards continue to be a valuable recognition to long-serving public water utility employees; therefore, the Indiana Section volunteered to provide administration of the John N. Hurty Service Awards.

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.
