North Andover Employee of the Year
The North Andover Employee of the Year program was instituted to recognize annually one employee for being a team player, exhibiting exceptional customer service, going above and beyond expectations in their work, conduct and dedication, and who truly embodies the true meaning of being a public servant. We recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset in North Andover. Congratulations to this year's Employee of the Year award recipient, Crystal Clunie, Community Support Coordinator!
Unsung Hero Award
The purpose of the Unsung Hero Award is to recognize annually a Town employee who works “behind the scenes” often without recognition, but whose hard work, dedication, and “can-do” attitude have a meaningful impact on the work of other
employees and/or the experience of residents and other constituents. Please join us in congratulating this year's Unsung Hero, Bernadette Curran, Administrative Assistant Community Development!

– What Not to Flush
Even if they’re small, even if the package says “flushable,” some everyday items can cause messy and expensive problems for your plumbing and our sewer treatment facilities.
Products that might seem safe to flush down the toilet, such as personal care wipes, dental floss and paper towels, don’t dissolve quickly – or at all – in water. If a scrap of undissolved material gets caught on a nick, bend or bump within a pipe, it can trigger a growth of buildup that could cause a sewer backup in your home or neighborhood.
Sewer agencies, environmentalists and consumer advocates are working with manufacturers to correct product labeling. In the meantime, please make sure to dispose of personal care products, cleaning supplies and other household waste properly: in the trash can, in the recycling bin or at your local household hazardous waste disposal site.
