The
Florida Ground Water Association honored Franklin Electric’s Carl Wood as 2008
Member of the Year at its annual conference in May. FGWA President Pat
Partridge presented the award to Wood for his work on behalf of the water well
industry.
Wood,
Franklin Electric’s southeast regional manager, has been instrumental in
rallying support to protect Florida’s Marion County from an ordinance that
would force its citizens to hook up to a countywide utility system. The system
would force citizens to abandon their wells and septic tanks, which could
ultimately result in water well contractors being forced to relocate their
businesses.
“Carl is a shining
example of the leadership the industry has come to expect from Franklin
Electric,” says DeLancey Davis, Franklin Electric vice president of sales. “We
congratulate Carl, and will continue to stand behind his efforts that promote
the interests of the industry.”
