Celebrating 20 years of dedication: Chris Leverrett’s journey at GPIWA

The Greater Pine Island Water Association recognizes and celebrates a remarkable milestone: Chris Leverrett, our distribution manager, is marking 20 years of dedicated service to the organization and the Pine Island community.
Chris’s story is deeply rooted in Pine Island. A lifelong resident, he attended Pine Island Elementary and continued on to Pine Island Middle School, back when the island still had its own middle school. His connection to the community has always been strong, and that local pride has carried through every step of his career.
Chris joined GPIWA in 2005 as a distribution technician, working in the field to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of potable drinking water to our members. From day one, he brought a strong work ethic, a deep understanding of the island’s infrastructure, and a genuine commitment to public service.
Over the years, Chris rose through the ranks, earning the respect of his peers and supervisors alike. Today, as distribution manager, he oversees the distribution system, ensuring that GPIWA continues to meet the highest standards of water quality and service reliability.
“His knowledge of our infrastructure, his dedication to the community, and his ability to lead by example have had a lasting impact on our team and the people we serve.” said General Manager Mikes Maillakakisin a prepared statement.
Chris’s 20-year journey is a testament to the power of hard work, loyalty, and a passion for public service. As GPIWA continues to grow and evolve, we are grateful to have leaders like Chris who embody our mission and values every day.
Please join us in congratulating Chris Leverrett on this incredible milestone and thanking him for two decades of outstanding service to the Greater Pine Island Water Association.
