The NJBIZ ICON Awards recognize New Jersey business leaders over the age of 60 for their notable success and demonstration of strong leadership both within and outside of their chosen field. Honorees will also be profiled in a future publication inserted in NJBIZ, New Jersey’s leading business journal.

Mr. Doll’s background includes nearly 40 years of experience in investor-owned water and wastewater utility management.

Under his leadership, the Company made several acquisitions and experienced significant organic customer growth, entered into numerous contract operations and completed significant multi-million dollar construction projects supporting water quality, reliability and resiliency. These include such projects as construction of the 4.5-mile, 42″ Western Transmission Main, a new ozone treatment plant at the Company’s largest surface water treatment facility in New Jersey to mitigate disinfection by-products, and completion in 2023 of a major treatment facility to remediate newly-regulated contaminants at the Company’s largest groundwater facility.
