A Case Study: Reservoir Rehabilitation

In 2009, a significant challenge arose at the base of a 100 million-gallon earthen dam water reservoir. An increasing amount of leakage through the dam was observed, signaling a potential risk to the surrounding area.

Marcie Edwards, known for her leadership and strategic planning, took immediate action. Collaborating with staff, the Mayor, and the city council, she engaged outside contractors to address the issue. Understanding the financial implications of such a large-scale project, she successfully sold bonds to secure the necessary funding.

Recognizing the impact on local residents, Marcie prioritized maintaining open lines of communication with those affected by the rehabilitation. She directly interfaced with neighbors, ensuring they were informed and their concerns addressed.

Transparency was also extended to the media. Marcie worked diligently to keep the public informed about the project's progress, reinforcing trust in her leadership and the city’s commitment to safety.

This case study exemplifies Marcie Edwards’ ability to navigate complex situations, engage various stakeholders, and lead successful initiatives even under challenging circumstances.
