As the Collection System Superintendent for the Upper Thompson Sanitation District, Nathanael Romig leads a dedicated crew of four collection operators in the comprehensive care of the Estes Valley’s essential sewer infrastructure.

The crew's direct communication with the public is a hallmark of their commitment and they take every opportunity to educate District customers and explain operations.
