Planning ahead.
Safe, reliable water is a critical element of any healthy community. EBMUD carefully plans to ensure an adequate and reliable water source, now and into the future.
David is the Engineering Manager for Water Distribution Planning. In this role he ensures that EBMUD is maintaining our facilities and planning for the future. EBMUD prepares and follows a Master Planning Process that covers all key areas such as water treatment and transmission, water conservation, distribution systems, as well as wastewater treatment.
“Our system and facilities, which are varied in their purpose and geography, all require maintenance and investment,” says David. “This work, which many local residents see firsthand, ensures the delivery of safe drinking water to our service area.”
Managing these complex systems requires the experience of skilled engineering teams, and teamwork is critical: “The teamwork at EBMUD has been critical to ensuring our performance. Integrated discussion among all stakeholders is critical to successful short and long-term planning.”
David’s desire to pursue a career that was community driven was his motivator to work at EBMUD. “Even after 25 years, I am still learning at EBMUD. There are always new challenges and new opportunities to improve our operations.
“Providing the highest quality service delivery and ensuring cost management is a great challenge, and one that I enjoy.”
