Town of Kittery Welcomes New Sewer Superintendent

The Town of Kittery is pleased to announce the hiring of Timothy Babkirk to the role of Sewer Superintendent.  Mr. Babkirk will be replacing George Kathios, who is retiring after over 24 successful years in Kittery.

Mr. Babkirk was selected from over thirty applicants.  He brings a wealth of experience in both the collection and treatment operations of wastewater.  Prior to coming to Kittery, he served in the City of Portsmouth, most recently as Chief Plant Operator for the Pierce Island and Pease plants.  In 2016, he was tasked with focusing his attention on the Pierce Island plant including overseeing the plant upgrade for the City. 

In his eight years in the wastewater industry, Mr. Babkirk’s work ethic and commitment to environmental protection has propelled his career forward from Truck Driver to Chief Plant Operator, all while successfully receiving his Grade 4 Wastewater license and Grade 2 Collection license. 

Please join us in welcoming Mr. Babkirk to the Town of Kittery, as well as congratulating Mr. Kathios on a well-deserved retirement.
