Mapleton first began hav- ing water troubles a year ago, when MWD issued a boil notice for all drinking and cooking water in July 2020. This was due to a failure in the district’s water plant filter. MWD was able to place a wa- ter skid, or a temporary water storage tank, that fall, after requiring water consumers to boil water for four months. us ways we can live the mis- sion as she does,” Lorenz said. “She is an effective mentor, a dedicated patient advocate and an insightful leader who understands the needs of a small community.” One DOVE award was presented to RN Bruce Brown for his work as an Em- ployee Health Nurse. “Bruce has dedicated him- self entirely to supporting our caregivers, providers and leaders throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. His la- ser focus on the safety of our healthcare workers is unwav- ering,” Lorenz said. Dustin Degman, CRNA, received the Physician Award, “as he remains calm in very stressful situations, while also making very critical decisions,” Lorenz added. “He treats ev- eryone equally, whether it is a patient, family member or caregiver. His kindness, gentle demeanor, profession- alism and exceptional skills are so appreciated.” Megan Davis received the DOVE award for her work with outpatients due to her ability to recognize the un- derlying causes of patient dis- tress and assisting with those issues. PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center is located at 400 Ninth St. in Florence. For more information, visit www.peacehealth.org/peace- harbor-medical-center. A protracted investigation of the problem with distrib- uting clean, drinkable water eventually determined the damage was caused by equip- ment failure at the district’s main station, in the wake of the Sweet Creek wildfires in early September and late Au- gust 2020. The MWD water system was used by firefight- ers battling the blaze, which consumed nearly 400 acres. In addition, after the tem- porary skid was placed, MWD water consumers next dealt with unexpectedly large bills. This led to complaints that the MWD board was inconsistent with communi- cation with the community. MWD responded by holding a public meeting over Zoom in March, where residents were able to voice concerns and connect with the board. The board has continued opened communication throughout much of the year. The MWD board has been working with an advisor team of water engineers on the decision for a new water treatment plant. In Septem- ber, the board estimated the new treatment plant could be up and running by spring 2022, with the plant paid for by a grant from the State of Oregon. At the November meeting, the MWD board voted to fill an open position. The board consists of Chair Millie Ro- chon, Vice Chair Basur- to, Secretary Vanessa West and board members Bryan Moore and Schrenk.
