The city of Vicksburg Water and Gas Department was honored today at the Mayor and Board of Alderman meeting for their outstanding work.
A group of 11 individuals from the department Dane Lovell, Barry Bailey, David Henderson, David Johnson, Thomas McKaplin, Billy Muirhead, Victor Parson, Jermaine Sanders, Leon Sims, Anthony Smith, Johnny Willis, and Jenny Hynum showed up at the meeting where exciting news was announced.
“An anonymous donor donated money to drill a well in Africa to support a village in honor of these guys,” Lovell said.
The group of hardworking guys were also instrumental in removing debris during the ice storm in Vicksburg early this year as they continued to work in difficult road conditions.
The city of Vicksburg is happy to have such hard dedicated workers who strive hard in the workplace and tirelessly serve our community.
