Tim Tuley, operations superintendent for Illinois American Water’s Pontiac District, recently celebrated his 40-year company anniversary.

Karen Cotton, external affairs manager for Illinois American Water, said Tuley is known for his helpfulness and knowledge of the job.

“We just want to say congratulations to Tim and thank you for your commitment to our customers. Tim is the kind of person who really puts the customer first and we’re just really happy to have him as part of our team,” Cotton said.

A surprise breakfast was held in Tuley’s honor April 19.
