Congratulations! Five Consecutive Years!

Your system is an APGA Safety Contest winner for the 2023 calendar year. APGA recognizes your accomplishment and believes that without the dedication of each one of our employees this achievement would not be possible.

“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.” – Aristotle

For each group, the winners have the lowest number of recordable injuries in the provided man-hours worked.

A certificate will be mailed to you noting this achievement. In order to properly recognize the Orange City Municipal Utilities’s outstanding achievement of 15 consecutive years, we will be formally congratulating your system during the APGA Annual Conference in Traverse City, Michigan.
