Dear Mr. Schroll,

I am writing to commend one of your water meter installers. His name is Tyler. He rang our doorbell this morning, and before I could answer he had already started working to replace our outside water meter. When I walked outside and asked what he was working on, he politely told me what he was doing and why. He was focused on his work, but was also friendly and an swered a couple of questions I had. He was such a pleasant person, I just wanted you to know he is a great ambassador for your department and the City of Raleigh!

Thanks to you and all the folks who provide us with clean water and keep it flowing.

Pam W.
