Meet another member of the Septic Preservation Family: Roberta Murphy.

Roberta is currently celebrating her 5th anniversary at SPS. Her job description is Office Manager but she wears many hats at SPS. According to Roberta:

” There have been many challenges and successes since my hire in June of 2012. We were operating out of the boss’s basement back then and we were a team of 5. Since that time we have purchased a building, that now houses our offices, and we have purchased three companies and are now a team of 13.”

Roberta particularly enjoys the awesome holiday and summer get togethers that Septic Preservation Services hosts. She recalls many funny stories since starting at SPS and jokes, ” Being in the business of the “business end” you can imagine the stories and jokes.”

Meet Elizabeth Alves of Septic Preservation Services. Liz started working at Septic Preservation Services in April of 2015. She has been a member of the team for 2 years and is Division Manager of the All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services Division of SPS. She is Title 5 licensed and is certified to perform inspections in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Her favorite part of her job is working with customers and helping them solve their septic issues. Liz is fluent in Portuguese and this is extremely helpful with Portuguese speaking clients. She is also a notary republic.

Personally, Liz resides in Attleboro with her husband and three children. She is active in a Portuguese Heritage Group in Stoughton and performs at Portuguese Carnival Dances where she sings and plays the guitar. She really enjoys this in her leisure time and is also involved in an All Girl dancing and singing group in East Providence.

Liz started at SPS as a novice but has really enjoyed learning the ins and outs of the septic business to better help her clients. Liz recalls jumping right into the training during her first days on the job. She was excited to volunteer for the hands-on learning activities but was a little surprised when she came across her first activity with a odorous septic tank. She was a little taken back by the smell but continued on, determined to complete the task.
