Michelle Gore was named the general manager of the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) on September 3 by the Town of Fairfield. Gore holds degrees in environmental engineering from Stanford University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and worked for the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) for twenty years.
“Fairfield is embarking on a multi-year program to improve the Town’s sewer system, with significant capital expenditures to update and transform our system infrastructure. Michelle Gore joins us at a crucial time and will play a central role in planning and managing multiple WPCF projects. With her expertise and experience, she will lead the development of a well-functioning sewer system, essential for Fairfield’s economy, environmental sustainability, and public health,” said First Selectman Bill Gerber.
Gore will assume responsibility for all wastewater facilities in Fairfield, and liaise with state and federal officials and other stake holders working on keeping the region’s water clean.
John Marsilio, head of the Town’s Department of Public Works, said, “Michelle Gore assumes responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant, compost facility, eight pump stations and more than 205 miles of sewer lines. Her experience with CT DEEP will be a major asset in the Town continuing to meet all state and federal standards.”
