CONGRATULATIONS,

Robert McMath (ES)!

Robert helped me out with some plumbing issues four years ago to narrow down if the problem was County or my house. A few weeks ago another issue arose. The plumbers fix only lasted for a few weeks so I contacted Robert again. I emailed him at 8 pm and he was here the next morning! He is an encyclopedia of information and very kind, thorough, knowledgeable with great ideas. I feel very fortunate to have someone at the City of Largo working for my best interest.
