Over the past month, the Town has welcomed two new directors of the Water and Stormwater/Street departments: Jason Clayman and Norm Gabehart.
Take a moment to learn more about them…
Jason Clayman
New Water Department head Jason Clayman
Jason has been promoted as the head of the Whiteland Water Department. Having 17 years of utility experience, including seven years in the water department, Jason was the natural choice to take on the challenge of running the water utility. He has earned two water licenses from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management: DSM, Water Distribution System Operator, and WT2, Water Treatment Plant Operator. His primary duty will be to ensure that safe, pure water continues to flow to all of our customers. He will also be tasked with maintaining the lines in good condition, replacing and repairing water meters and valves, and helping customers with any questions. One of his first duties has been to hire two new laborers to fill recent vacancies in the department. A lifelong resident of the area, Jason is recently married, and lives with his wife, three kids, and an overly rambunctious dog in Greenwood.
Norm Gabehart
New MS4 Coordinator and Street Department head Norm Gabehart
At their February meeting, the Stormwater Management Board recommended the hiring of Norm Gabehart as the new MS4 Coordinator (the technical title for the stormwater department director) after an extensive search. Most recently, he has had several years of experience directing operations and managing infrastructure in Greenwood, and before that numerous years in public service in various positions around Johnson County. In addition to coordinating the Town’s efforts to manage stormwater according to MS4 regulations, he will be overseeing the Whiteland Street Department–paving and plowing streets, keeping the Town’s equipment in good repair, and doing many other tasks to help Whiteland be a great community. Norm enjoys vintage automobiles and spending time with his kids and grandkids. He lives in northern Greenwood.
