to everyone who’s had a crappy year

we’re with you through it all—in more ways than you think.

If you’ve had a crappy 2022, I want you to know this.

Next year will be crappy, too.

Not all of it. But some of it. There will also be joy and laughter, wonder, sadness. Confusion and clarity, change and opportunity.

People, problems, solutions, and more change. More of the same. Things you never expected—and things you should have expected.

All of the emotions of 2022 will be felt in 2023 to varying degrees and volumes. That scares so many and yet there is comfort in knowing none of these are experienced alone.

Even in your darkest or most alone moments, someone somewhere has the same pain. Same confusion. Same uncertainty.

And like the year gone it too will pass with hope of something surely better to follow. Every new year is met with a mix of emotions as we see the future through a lens made more blurry or maybe more clear through our own last trip around the sun.

But the fact that we see a future at all is reason for hope.

We are a sewer utility who manages remnants of your daily lives and in this we know there is always hope. Things can be better. Things can improve. Tomorrow can be better than today but that comes with work and time and understanding and empathy and more.

To everyone who’s has had a crappy year, we're right there with you.

To everyone who has had a year of success, we're right there with you.

To everyone who relies on some public service every single day while rarely ever thinking about it;

we're right there with you.

And like we have been in 2022, we will be in 2023. Every. Single. Day.
