Paul Krauth, the outreach coordinator for the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), is this year’s recipient of the Water Environment Association of Utah’s prestigious Grant K. Borg Extraordinary Service Award. This award recognizes Krauth, a 17-year veteran of DWQ, for his long-term commitment and achievement in the area of water quality improvement.
“Paul is most deserving of this award,” said Walt Baker, director of DWQ. “He has helped numerous cities tackle tough technical problems with their wastewater facilities and saved them thousands of dollars in the process.”
Krauth, a native Utahn, came to DWQ in June 1989. For two and one-half years he worked in the UPDES permits program, writing discharge permits and working on pretreatment, bio-solids and storm water issues. In September 1992, he began working as the Outreach Coordinator for the Division, providing technical and operational assistance to all of Utah’s municipal wastewater facilities. He is a graduate of the University of Utah with bachelor degrees in civil and mechanical engineering.
The award is named after Grant K. Borg, professor emeritus of the University of Utah, who had a distinguished career in environmental engineering and in helping develop the seminal water quality rules, laws and policies that largely remain intact today.
