"As a water treatment operator, I always want to ensure that I am working with a premium facility that takes great care in its reputation. After researching your treatment plant, I discovered that you took great pride in your work and that your employees are frequently recognized and awarded for good work. I'm also very excited about the opportunity to move close to our families and get back home to this area. Working for the city of Springfield would be an honor for me."

Prior to your interview, be sure to do as much research on the plant as possible. Some things to focus on are the size of the team you'll be joining and the total area that the plant serves. Be sure to practice your answer as the likelihood that you will be asked this question is high. Because most water treatment facilities are operated by local governments, make sure to highlight your excitement to join that atmosphere.
