August 2002

We are currently in the process of reviewing all applications for the new Wood County Bottling Facility.  At this time we are not accepting any new applications - we will begin hiring in mid-October and will look to hire even more employees towards the end of this year.  Please check our "Employment" section for a detailed update. 

Our construction on the Wood County Bottling Facility is moving along as scheduled.   The road is finished, the front office steel is erected, the wall panels are installed in the warehouse and the parking lot will be asphalted this month. Additionally, much of the underground utility work will be completed. Construction of the spring water collection facilities continues and we are installing monitoring points for the long-term monitoring program that will be used while collecting spring water. 

Congratulations to Seth Drennan, from Harmony High School's 2002 graduating class, our first recipient of the $2500 Ozarka Scholarship in Wood County!!   We wish him great success at Texas A&M.  Our "Every Drop Counts" Statewide Scholarship Fund deadline was May 31, 2002 and our two scholarship award winners for 2002 are Kyle James from Lubbock Christian University and Kathryn Williams from McMurry University.  Graduating Texas seniors and college students interested in pursuing Earth Sciences were eligible for the two statewide $10,000 scholarships.
