Steffy, a graduate of Millersville State College with a B.S. in
environmental biology, began his career at Aqua in 1982 as a
microbiology technician, quickly becoming a microbiologist in
Aqua’s Pennsylvania-state-certified lab. He transferred to
operations in 1987 as a systems supervisor in the treatment
department and three years later was promoted to assistant
superintendent of treatment and superintendent of treatment before
continuing through the ranks to become assistant manager of
treatment in 1998.
In 2005, he was promoted to manager of production, assuming
primary responsibility for the surface water treatment plants,

national cooperative effort developed by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and other water organizations that
encourage and assist U.S. water suppliers to voluntarily enhance
their water systems performance, for greater control of
Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial contaminants.
“Curt has played a key role in our production and treatment
departments for many years, and over the past 18 months has taken
on added responsibilities as his predecessor was assigned to
special projects,” said Aqua President Steve Tagert. “I have the
utmost confidence in Curt’s ability to lead the production team.
His knowledge and work ethics will ensure that customers continue
to receive quality water each and every day.”
Steffy is a member of AWWA, Waterworks Operators of
Pennsylvania, the Department of Environmental Protection

State Board for Certification of Water and Wastewater System
Operators and an alternate board member of the DEP Technical
Assistance Center Board for Small Water Systems. He was awarded the
