WSSC Water - Str8 Drippin'

Such an amazing ACE24 for Chesapeake Section operators in Anaheim, CA!

WSSC Water’s operators have completely outdone themselves in these international feats of strength, dexterity and smarts!  Str8 Drippin' came in 2nd in the Top Ops Competition (missing the cup by just 1 point) - they have finished in the Top 5 in North America for the past 5 years!  

And Big Blue Tappers placed 3rd in Pipe Tapping – WOW!
