SWWA Life Time Member Award 2026 - Kevin Sutter​​​
Retired ATAP subcontractor, Kevin Sutter, P.Tech., was honoured at the Saskatchewan Water & Wastewater Association's award ceremonies on Nov. 5th with a Life Time Member Award. Recipients of this award have demonstrated outstanding professional contributions in their careers and through contributions to professional associations. Kevin spent 40 years in the water and wastewater industry including 31 years at the City or Estevan water and wastewater treatment plants (advancing to managerial positions) and 8 years at ATAP as a circuit rider, interim operator, technical advisor and instructor. As an ATAP subcontractor, he travelled to every corner of western Canada and to the arctic helping operators to fulfill the expectations of their communities. His work ethic has been outstanding. He has given one-hundred percent to every aspect of his job – technical, educational, supervisory, safety, and administrative. His name is synonymous with excellence and dependability. He has also been active on the SWWA , Western Canada Water and the Upper Souris Watershed Association Boards. In 2014, Kevin was the receipient of the Outstanding Technical Achievement Award (Saskatchewan Applied Science Technologists & Technicians). In his acceptance speech, he spoke movingly of the career satisfaction he experienced helping operators in remote locations gain confidence, knowledge and skills. Congratulations Kevin, very well-deserved! ​
