Yeagerd's job descrip- tion may be simple, but he provides an invaluable ser- vice to the city. Yeagerd picks up household waste and does general mainte-. nance. He adds that the most rewarding things about his job are meeting new people and learning places. At 25 years old, Yea- gerd says his future plans include a job in law en- forcement or corrections. Yeagerd attributes his success to a diligent driver, Mike McQuay, without whom the job would not be possible, and to Willie Carter. Yeagerd says that he has learned a lot from Willie, who he has worked beside for five years. Billy Straughter is su- pervisor of the Street De- partment and Sanitation Crew. Sanitation workers are an asset to the community; they typically don't receive the recognition they de- serve. Without the men and women who dedicate their time to picking up other people's refuse, streets and whole cities would be filled with waste. Yeagerd, and others like him, are responsible for keeping Madison clean.' Subscribe oday. n* z973-4141 Greene Publishing, Inc. Photo by Emerald Kinsley By Jessica Higginbotham Greene Publishing, Inc. In 1995, a new and improved tower that looks kind of like a golf ball replaced Greenville's original water tow- er. About twenty years ago, the water quality in Greenville wasn't as good as it ought to be. People got sick because of rust or other deposits in the water, and it was time for a new tower. The town received a community development block grant to replace the older, smaller tower. Holding approximately 125,000 gallons of water, the big golf ball in the sky has enough water in reserves to serve the town for about a day, should the pumps fail. The-likelihood that -the pumps-will--fail is slim to none, considering theingenious design of water towers. Water towers are tall enough to provide adequate pressure to handle water. dispersion without electricity. Each foot of height proves .43 PSI (pounds per square inch). Typical municipal water supplies run at between 50 and 100 PSI, and most appliances only need 20 30 PSI to operate. Every few years the water tower will have to be cleaned, inside and out, to keep water quality up. The tank will be drained, scraped out, and coated to keep it from rusting inside. So far, so good with the water tower in Greenville: It keeps things flowing easily.
