Today for our #CAWaterWeek Water Professional Spotlight, we are highlighting our Customer Service Representative, Lisa! I love my career in water because I know I am making a difference in my community through my actions.

In addition, I just love working with the WVWD family because they are just the best!" -Lisa, 1 yr. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater

Today for our #CAWaterWeek Water Professional Spotlight, we are highlighting our Pump Operator I, LV! I love working in the water industry, because no day is ever the same. Each day we’re presented with new challenges and situations, which really helps me stay focused and interested. I believe that the work we do positively contributes to our community and makes a difference in the world." -LV, 8 yrs. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater

Today for our #CAWaterWeek Water Professional Spotlight, we are highlighting our Executive Assistant, Carmen! I am a part of a District that not only serves a community with the best water, but I get to work with smart and creative people that make work a gift, not a burden. That’s the kind of place you strive for when you’re young. I found it here." -Carmen, 8 yrs. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater

Today for our #CAWaterWeek Water Professional Spotlight, we are highlighting our Facility Maintenance Worker II, Alex! As I drive in early every morning, I see our light posts shimmering in the yard and I feel like a child, arriving at my neighborhood playground. The equipment is my towering rocket slide, half dome monkey bars, and spoils of dirt and sandboxes. There is a building full of playmates that I care about and who care for me. Every day is full of challenges and ne...w tasks, easy to solve and conquer when your voice is heard and ideas are put to use. I’ve been to many other playgrounds, but this one is by far the best. I have so many great teammates and together we accomplish great things. I leave the playground every afternoon sweaty, dirty, and smelling like a wet rag. But most importantly, my chin is raised high and I have a big smile, am filled with pride thanks to my teammates. It feels awesome to provide a service that sustains everyday life. Thank you to WVWD and my teammates. Life is good!" - Alex, 15 yrs. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater

Today for our #CAWaterWeek Water Professional Spotlight, we are highlighting our Utility Service Worker II, John! I love my career in water because I enjoy helping to provide quality drinking water to our customers. I see our customers every day and I feel that my interactions with them contribute to a positive impact on our industry and the District as we strive for excellence in customer service. The water system can be complex, but interesting at the same time, and I don’t think many people recognize the steps it takes to ensure quality water is accessible to them 24/7. That’s why I always look for the opportunity to provide great customer service and share my knowledge of the water system with customers." -John, 8 yrs. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater

Today for our #CAWaterWeek Water Professional Spotlight, we are highlighting our Director of Engineering & Planning, Sherry! Water is so important! Everyone needs it and will continue to need it way into the future. Mostly why I love my career in water is that I can use my gifts and abilities to help others on a daily basis. It’s so fun because no two days are ever the same. One day I might be performing calculations, reviewing design plans, or writing a report for a brand new facility, and the very next day I might be out in the field solving a construction problem as those facilities are being installed throughout the District." -Sherry, 20 yrs. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater

Today for our #CAWaterWeek Water Professional Spotlight, we are highlighting our Management Analyst, Jillian! I love my career in water because it gives me the opportunity to be part of a team that delivers an essential service to the community. Working in the water industry has allowed me to serve my community by providing education programs, sharing critical information with the public, developing water use efficiency programs, and other innovative and exciting tasks promoting our most precious natural resource. Working everyday towards a meaningful common goal has made working in the water industry an extremely rewarding career. - Jillian, 3 yrs. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater

I am proud to work for a company that promotes sustainability, encourages conservation in the community, and participates in public education through various community events." -Marianna, 25 yrs. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater

Today for our #CAWaterWeek Water Professional Spotlight, we are highlighting our Pump Operator I, Gabe! I love my career because every day I have the responsibility to provide our customers with safe drinking water. I do this by testing our water at reservoir sites and sample testing areas throughout the District multiple times a week and ensure good turnover on our reservoirs daily. I get immense satisfaction from running the SCADA system, which includes overseeing large am...ounts of imported water being pumped to different pressure zones and storage reservoirs. As for my co-workers, everyone is great! We spend more time with each other than we do our own families, which is why I consider many of them a part of my family. I will always be grateful for the opportunities WVWD has given me these past 15 years, in order to provide for my family. - Gabe, 15 yrs. #WeAreCAWater #WorkForWater
