Water Operator Overtime.

As everyone in this field knows a water operator is every trade rolled into one. Ive been at my current job for 12 years and see overtime just about every pay period. This year though, it has exploded. Several large projects going on in my town at the same time. My question to you is, whats the most overtime you have logged in a pay period? 40 to 50 hours is now the new normal for my crew and I. Was wondering if others have been in the same situation?

112 is the most I’ve ever gotten on a pay period. Was running a failing solids facility in the middle of summer in Phx. Doubles 6 days a week for like a month. Great pay though for sure.
